Dammit, gene, after reading that I spluttered a cappuccino all over my wireless receiver as I was resetting the latter.
Hyppia's header was one of the best I've seen the fact there was someone on the line made it better. What a legend he was.Such a memorable game that one:
Reina getting beat at the near post - how we were to get used to that
Walcott's run
Torres at his absolute peak pulling a goal out of his arse
Adebayor's fucking dance
Sami's bullet header
Back in the day when we were a side.
Alright I've got an idea for a thread series over summer (because it's shite and full of boring transfer bollox) whereby we look back on great LFC games that may have sparked some controversy. The point being that we - with the benefit of hindsight - should be able to show a bit more objectivity than at the time.
First up, is the 2nd leg of the Champions League 1/4 final in 2008 at home to Arsenal.
(Apologies for the poor-ish video here btw.)

Aside from reliving the game, was Babel's 'dive' a penalty?
At the time I thought no, and I still think no. You?

Garcia's header against Anderlecht (I think it was them) was pretty amazing too.
I know that seat well. Good old sunny, sheiky and spion. Top lads.Here is said photo - taken before the game! (classic OOTer )

Yup it was. I'd say one of the best headers I've ever seen.

Absolutely I'd have back around the club in a heartbeat, coach/assistant manager maybe.It summed the big man up - not just size and power, but great intelligence to go with it. I really hope we can fetch him back to LFC in some capacity one day.
That is my all time favourite Liverpool goal. I still remember my celebrations watching this!
Forgive me I know it's not in keeping with the thread but sticking goals past Arsenal mad me think of this.....not relevent but.... it will be just 23 seconds of your life ....
