Right, anyone want to turn attention to something all can get involved in without having to read ultimately naive posts suggesting in a roundabout way that the poster could do a football owner, sporting director, management, tactician, or coaching role better than the professionals?

Let's get started.,

1) most treasured moment as an LFC fan?

2) favourite LFC player that you have seen ply his trade live (I appreciate the generation gaps here)?

3) favourite LFC player ever regardless of having seen on the Green surface in flesh?

4) favourite player seen ply trade but not pulled on an LFC jersey? (I. e. you'd have liked him at Anfield)

5) favourite not seen not red?

6) 5 sporting role models? (Any sport)

1.) 24 Aug 2023

1) 2005 Champions League Final

2) Fowler or Gerrard

3) Kenny

4) Never been mad thirsty for players outside of LFC, tbh. Probably going to go with Irish league legends who probably aren't actually that good, like Wes Hoolahan or Joseph N'do.

5) See above.

6) With the exception of Alex Zanardi for absolutely not quitting despite being mangled in a crash, I generally don't idolise sports people in that way.

I applaud the effort to get our minds away from the constant bickering on here. Oops, I mean "healthy debate". ?

Sadly I can't participate. Never seen Liverpool play "live" in my 45 years of supporting the club, and half your questions are geared to those who live nearby or have seen matches live.

1) Barcelona 2019. It wasn’t just being there but being there with my dad as well.

2) Suarez. As much as he’s a rat he was unbelievably special.

3) Fowler. Although Bobby and Millie have run that close over recent years.

4) Does Messi count even if he had a bad game? Modric otherwise.

5) Bergkamp

6) Dalglish. What a man. Apart from being an unreal footballer the weight he took on his shoulders in such troubles times is something else.

1. The one and only time I stood in the Kop
2. John Barnes. When the Mrs was wowed by Suarez, I showed her what that looked like in slow mo. A John Barnes highlight reel later she understood why it's the beautiful game
3. Unsurprisingly. John Barnes
4. Not favourite, but best. Cantona. Broke my little heart at Wembley back when I thought the Charity Shield was a real trophy.
5. Always thought Thierry Henry should have been a Red. A proper Red
6. The King. For everything on and off the field. But mostly for the families
Kevin Sinfield for stepping up for his mate.
Jesse Owens. He actually gave pure evil the rage
Jordan Henderson - before his move to Saudi. Everything he did was class. Everything. Don't let me down now skip. Speak out. Get yourself arrested
But of a cheat. But the lionesses. All of them and the wonderful coach. Al they did for the women's game. All the did for the game. For national pride. For making me support England.

1) 2005, nothing will ever top it
2) Gerrard, but for a short time it was Fernando Torres. I’m still not over him leaving!
3) Kenny. I was never able to see him play, way before my time. But I’ve got nothing but respect for the man and he is everything that this club means. Gerrard also lost a point for bottling that 2-0 lead against City on the final day ?
4) Kaka and Ronaldinho are my favourite non-Liverpool players of all time, but David Villa was one I was always desperate to see at Anfield when I was a kid. Him and Torres would’ve been the dream
5) Going with Brazil Ronaldo. I would have put him for Q4 as well but wasn’t around to see him at his absolute best, my only real memories of him were when he was at Madrid and the 2002 World Cup
6) Huge fan of Nick Kyrgios. Plenty of time for anyone who can entertain me and annoy all the right people at the same time. Top bloke!
