Peter Crouch Rolls Back the Years as Liverpool Legends Outclass Chelsea at Anfield
Crouch Lights Up Anfield Once Again
There are moments in football when time feels like it folds in on itself. Saturday at Anfield was one of them. Peter Crouch, all limbs and nostalgia, came off the bench and reminded everyone why he was...
Liverpool Legends Ready for Charity Clash at Anfield
Liverpool FC Legends are set to grace the Anfield turf once more, with the full squad now confirmed for this weekend’s charity match in aid of the LFC Foundation. With iconic names from the club’s history reuniting, the match promises to be both nostalgic and impactful, raising...
Ron Yeats: A Colossus in Liverpool's History
Bill Shankly's words, uttered in July 1961, still resonate over six decades later: “Take a walk around my centre-half, gentlemen. Go on! Walk around him. He’s a colossus.” This was Shankly’s introduction of Ron Yeats, a towering figure who became the heart of Liverpool’s defence, changing the club’s...
Could Joël Matip Emulate the Great Sami Hyypiä…?
Despite many brilliant performances and the varying moments of elite defensive play within a glittering Liverpool career, my overriding memory of Sami Hyypiä is not that Champions League win in 2005, but something far less emphatic and personal. Whenever I consider the 6ft 4inch Finnish legend, I...
Optimism Surrounds Liverpool as Sami Hyypia Endorses Arne Slot
Liverpool's latest pre-season activities in the United States have sparked not just excitement among fans but also approval from one of its most respected legends, Sami Hyypia.

Liverpool's League Cup Legacy: Liverpool 2-0 Manchester United (2003)

Hyypia Confident in Van Dijk's Premier League Dominance
As the Premier League season unfolds, former Liverpool stalwart Sami Hyypia has thrown significant support behind Virgil van Dijk, Liverpool's centre-back powerhouse. Despite a setback from a knee ligament injury in 2020, Van Dijk's recent performances suggest a brewing storm on the pitch, especially noted during the...
I assume, gentle reader, that you, like me, are a hopeless consumer. It's not our fault. Decades of crass commercialism, manipulative media advertising and force-fed capitalistic ideology have taught us to crave the next purchase and moulded us into believing that the next shiny thing will be the one that finally fills the yawning...
After the weekend (which saw several Liverpool legends assemble), I had a little thought about which one I could possibly write about. One of my colleagues has written about the next steps of Steven Gerrard (available this week on Anfield Index), whereas I have chosen to compile what I believe to be the best...
This past week or so, I’ve seen the form of Joël Matip both questioned and praised. His performances this season have been largely tremendous, with the singular poor outing against Brentford (and an inspired, future red, Ivan Toney). The whole Liverpool side were somewhat shell shocked that day, and every player will occasionally have...
