      Liverpool boys. Bad news re Tommy Smith. A real hardman. Red card every game if he played today. Any of you see him play? Part of a genuinely great Liverpool team in that wonderful era of Merseybeat music.
      RIP

        “An amazing man and player, the β€˜Anfield iron’ as he was christened by Bill Shankly.

        “The word legend is used a lot, certainly at Liverpool Football Club. When you think of that word legend, it’s Tommy Smith.

        “The reason being, with people like him, who brought the first ever FA Cup back to Liverpool, the first European Cup in Rome, he scored in that game.”

        “They’re the proper legends, there’s been a lot of great players at Liverpool, in the history of the club, but you go back to that word legend and no matter what comes after, what has come before, there will never be another Tommy Smith.” Jamie Carragher.

        RIP Tommy Smith.

          Kind sentiments Gents; careful as the Daily Chuckster may object to Liverpool chat on a Weekend Football Thread!

            It is relevant to any thread!
            Can you imagine Tommy Smith and Souness in the same midfield! Ouch…..

              Adlab, haha that’s true πŸ˜€

              That’s our current game I’m afraid.

              The Slightest of nudges, and it just turns into an unnecessary escapade.

                  Adlab – yeah, I saw him play for the last 6 or 7 years of his time at Liverpool, but I was only a kid and an early teenager so my heroes at the time were Kevin Keegan, John Toshack and Steve Heighway, so I’m afraid he never made that big an impression on me. I remember seeing Billy Bremner at a Sportsmans Dinner probably 20+ years ago and him telling a story of how in a game at Anfield he scythed down Emlyn Hughes early in a game with a sliding tackle leaving Emlyn rolling around. Billy looked up to see Tommy Smith come charging over and obviously he thought Tommy was out to wreak revenge. Instead Tommy leant over Billy, shook his hand and said, ‘Billy, I’ll buy you a pint after rthe game’ Tommy had never forgiven Emlyn for getting the captaincy over him, and their dislike of each other lasted pretty much up to Emlyn’s death, I believe.

                  He was a legend, and had the fairytale swansong by scoring the winning goal in the european Cup Final in Rome in 1977. RIP Tommy.

                    That’s the spirit Moos.

                    It’s funny (maybe from years of Forum Life Experience)

                    how seemingly supporters refrain themselves from just saying all out; Come On, We’ll Win It, in case of the Jink/Karma, or just that return of it blowing up in your face.

                    May be in habit just to be cautious.

                        Benitez deserves to be coaching much bigger teams,like Bayern,PSG,AC Milan,etc!

                          Agree with Mav I would gladly have Rafa back at Chelsea but it won’t happen.

                              Spurs couldn’t have picked a better fixture than Huddersfield at home prior to their double header v City.

                                “Sumeffin Messi Hazard Wanyama.” I’m not sure what you’re trying to say Mav I think you may have had too much sun.?

                                      Mav, there are good goals and great goals mate the Wanyama one probably falls into the good goal category imo.
