Pre-season is upon us with all the thrill, excitement and hope that comes with it… Okay, maybe not thrill and excitement but there’s hope, there’s always hope right? That’s what kills us, every year, every pre-season a player rises from the shadows stringing together a series of quality performances only for that glimmer of...
It has been quite an exciting week filled with firsts for Liverpool icon, Steven Gerrard. It began July 11th, with his highly anticipated debut for the Los Angeles Galaxy. Making his first home appearance in an International Champions' Cup match-up at the StubHub Center against Mexican power Club America. Though the fixture itself wasn’t...
Before I begin I have to say that this Heroes of the Past article is going to be a bit different. I have a confession to make – I hardly saw Craig Johnston play (aside from videos years later), of course I saw his FA Cup goal and then played football afterwards but I...
In the summer of 2004, there was a renaissance underway at Anfield. Liverpool replaced Gerard Houllier with a new man on the touchline in former Valencia manager, Rafa Benitez. Freshly off his second La Liga title in only three seasons at the Mestalla, the Spaniard was set to bring a winning mentality and tenacity...
This is not my first article on Fernando Torres on this site. I had written one when he played at Anfield during the Steven Gerrard testimonial some time back. You can read that piece here.

As the hallowed Saturday approached, it hadn’t sunk in yet, our leader, our role model,...
The end is nigh. For Liverpool fans that is.
Steven Gerrard has a mere two games left with his boyhood club and the realisation is hitting many. Local boy who came good. I'm not sure how it compares for the rest of you but for me it's like when my first pet died. You kind...
There's a great saying that sums up Javier Mascherano: "It's not the size of the dog in the fight, but the size of the fight in the dog that counts". This sentence really sums the Argentine warrior up because at 5ft and 8.5 inches tall, he isn't your archetypal defensive midfield powerhouse a la...
We thought it may never happen again. But last weekend we all got to watch Xabi Alonso play at Anfield one last time, as he took to the pitch for Liverpool's all-star charity game and inevitably, Â received a standing ovation.
