Ian Rush has a great way of explaining it something along these lines - “ Kenny would tell me to start making the run on his 1st touch and he’d find me with his 2nd touch…he didn’t need a 3rd! “ Some players are just able to see the picture in their head without having to dwell on it…Dalglish was one of those players. 👏

Well what a fantastic watch that was, i'm not a Liverpool fan but this was fantastic. The passion in Phil Thompsons voice was there for everyone to see and here, he is very sadly missed on soccer saturday as is Jeff Stelling. So much so I don't make a point to watch it as i used to.

Not a Liverpool fan , but surely phill Thompson is a legend in his own right !

Will never forget watching Phil Thompson at the '74 Cup Final win against Newcastle. It was late in the 2nd half with the game already comfortably won and PT ,a string-bean of a player was at centre-half and he couldn't stop looking back at the celebrating Kop end of the stadium. Time and time again. You could see he was a fan and almost pinching himself at being on the pitch in a cup-winning LFC team rather than standing on the terraces. A vivid memory. What a Captain and servant of LFC.

Hi Thommo....do you remember playing versus Dynamo Dresden in the European Cup in the 70ies? You beat us (I am from Dresden and when you played there I was in the stadium as a teenager) 3 times. Once we were close to knock you out.....in 77 we lost 1:2 in Liverpool but drew 0:0 in Dresden. One of our players hit the post once....!!

Great guest to have on. Forgot how interesting Phil is to listen to.

Phil Neal for me. Gotta love Thommo's love for Liverpool and the game like!

Fortunate enough to have witnessed many of the players Phil speaks of. I have to say that for me, John Barnes was simply unplayable. You couldn’t get near him. His strength, vision and his goal scoring ability were flawless. Those of a younger generation will have heard of him and seen him on television presenting but let me assure you, the guy was a freak of nature. My mate is a big United fan and I still remember him telling me that he was sick of John Barnes 😂

@basylpeterjones

His inconsistency was shown up playing for England. I never know what people mean by 'unplayable' but he was limited in what he could achieve.

Barnes, at his peak, playing in todays football, with the protection players get, the rule changes, my goodness, he would of been even better. He was my hero growing up, I worshipped him, his poster adorned my walls.

I agree about Barnes over salah, growing up in that era when liverpool were flying in 80's early 90's winning the double etc. Its to do with Barnes getting the ball and it sticking to is feet EVERY time he ran with the ball. We get the same excitement with salah but the ball can run off is foot and not have the same control as Barnes. Most definitely a hard one but Barnes for me.

Phil has picked some amazing players for his list and rightly so. However, my favourite player of all time is Emlyn Hughes. The man was exceptional in what he did. He was all over the pitch with his tireless running, breaking up opposing attacks, his distribution of the ball was superb and every so often he would pop up with one of his howitzer goals. Boy, could he hit a ball. I'm not sure if he was in the top 5, but the man was a brilliant player, a brilliant leader. I just had to mention his name.

I’m not being overly sentimental or romantic, but I grew up next to where Dalglish grew up, and he was of that ilk where life was hard, but it was all you knew, so it shaped him with a determination that only those hewn that way can understand. It’s all about community. It’s all about graft. It’s little wonder he is King of Liverpool.

My best 11 Reds-players ever: Goal: Clemence, Defense: Thompson, Neal, van Dijk, Hansen, midfield: Dalglish, Xabi Alonso, Souness, Gerrard, attack: Keegan, Torres. ......and I still saw players like Rush, Case, Kennedy, Highway, Toshack, Callaghan, Mc Dermott.....

It wasn't the Gerrard slip that cost LFC the title imo,it was being 3-0 up et C Palace n drawing 3-3 😢

Being a Liverpool fan, I have to question myself about my club support if Stevie G went to Chelsea. Would I be a Chelsea supporter today? Because, I couldn't help myself but love Steven Gerrard during those days circa 2002-06. I just couldnt help myself self identify with him and how he played. If fact, that is why I always watched 👀 Liverpool play. I just wanted to see what he would do next. Yes, I loved Scholes and Lampard but for me it was always SG first, then PS, then FL to watch. I cherish players who played like them but I just adored SG grit and silky passing, then the extra cross or goal. He made the games he played in. Loved PS control of the game, passsing and odd goals. Lastly, FL scored goals but, I just never saw him always control the game with or like the others. FL you absolutely want on your team, what a player but third best IMO of the three. Maybe, I didnt watch him enough, he didnt catch my eye like the others, espeacially Gerrard.

I was too young to see Roger Hunt play but can understand the sentiment.. I agree with all the other picks. However the greatest player I have seen since 1971 that if he olayed well Liverpool played well is Greame Souness. The section on more missing players has some glaring and unacceptable omissions? Not to include here, Steve Heighway, Keegan, Hansen, Van Dijk, Lawrenson, but unforgiveble Greame Souness. Yes I saw how tough Dalgkish was. Souness was even tougher so much so that Kenny had a grudge against Suoie after he joined Liverpool apparetnly due to aprior encounter where Souness had kicked Kenny.
