Ex-Liverpool players you can't stand

[Squiggles]

I generally avoid all the analysis these days, so I’m not exposed to it much. However, Redknapp has enjoyed a remarkably fortunate media career, while Warnock has always come across as a rather miserable, bitter toad. He was lucky to reach the level he did, and yet he seems to carry a constant grudge—especially towards Benítez, though he’s certainly not alone in that.

Hamann has had some hot takes over the years but nothing to lose any sleep over. Nichol is meant to act the cunt on US TV all the time, which I expect many find grating.

If I had to pick one, it's Owen for all the obvious reasons.

For those that have not seen this... We all know Owen is happy for Trent, how could he not be as would seen as a hypocrite but think before you speak

Thread 'Trent, Salah and VVD'

Jul 19, 2024

For me this far more of a worry than incomings...
To let all 3 run their contracts down would be mind bogglingly stupid, we are talking about £250m of assets there. Any one know what the latest is? We can't blame Klopp for over loyalty now, if all 3 leave on afree whats the logic behind it? Where is the financial sense?

Apart from everybody already mentioned, I think Peter Crouch's "goofy nicey footy guy" persona is fucking shit and annoying as well

Xabi Alonso can deffo fuck off.

Confirmed: Alonso to leave Leverkusen​

“The club and I have agreed that these two last games will be my last as Bayer Leverkusen coach,” he has announced in a press conference. “Now is the right moment.”

It has been reported in Spain he has agreed a pre-contract agreement to coach Real Madrid. More to follow…

No-one I can't stand, but if there was one it would be Harry "Cost us the CL 2007" Kewell with his strolling around, not being arsed.

Trent is heading for that area, for being more than a bit disingenuous.

Rarely met any in person for more than a selfie - I spent the weekend with Grobbelaar once for a tournament, I was running - great experience. Mark Walters too.

Fowler, Rush, Molby, McMoneyman, all pleasant enough in person.

Glad you had a good experience of Grobbelaar, he has a reputation of being a bit grumpy.
Peter Moore once told me a fan had asked for his autograph and as he was about to sign the guys said "Cheers Bruce, I heard you don't usually give autographs" and then Peter had to guess how to spell. "Grobbelaar" rather than disappoint the bloke.
They do look alike to be fair.

Trent /End List.

Been lucky enough to meet a few legends down the years and was rarely let down.

My childhood hero, Ronnie Whelan was a fucking legend, all three times I've met him... Genuine, friendly and full of craic and stories.

I've also had a pint and / or a chat with Stan Staunton, Brucie, Super Sub, Jim Beglin, Cally, the Saint and Jimmy Melia down the years (and i think I'm forgetting a couple), and all were very decent blokes.

The only one I didn't like was Ray Clemence... He was a bit cringe and creepy with a few of the ladies in the room, both during and after the event. Maybe I just caught him on a bad day, but I very disappointed.

As regards to ex-players that I can't stand, you've all covered most of my biggies already, but I'll also add Jason McAteer and Robbie Keane, who I found to be utter wankers when I met them.

There's also a few ex-players that I hated before they got to us, and I still (sports) despise them, like Paul Ince, Michael Thomas, Julian Dicks, etc...

My Dad used to work for Crawfords Biscuits and was based in a place called Sandown Hall in Wevertree (it's a housing estate now). They had a social club downstairs and Dad was in the architect's office upstairs. The Liverpool team of the late 70s / early 80s used to be there quite a lot to play snooker. I think it was somewhere they could go that was fairly private and they wouldn't get hassled by the general public.
He said they were mostly alright but Clemence was a bit of a div - he was always messing about (usually behind the bar) when the rest of them were more normal.
