Ok so this for me is kinda the lost decade.
In the seventies as i was growin up i loved liverpool but was too young to know any players all that well, but during the eighties i knew every player and remember every goal.
Buuut as we went into the nineties, i hit 16 years old and we went to shit, those things combined made me lose my obsessive compulsive tendancies and spend most of my time drinking and trying to get in some unfortunate miss' knickers.
Obviously i was still a liverpool fan, but i dont recall watching us all that much to be honest.
I didnt live at home, so i didnt have sky tv, or an internets. So i was basically watching 5 minutes a week on MoTD if i wasnt out boozing.....which i was.
So im just wondering.....did i miss anything?
Was Mcmanaman as good as i remember him being? or do i glorify him on account of only seeing clips?
Any of that conveyer belt of shite better than i recall?
Saunders
Walters
Thomas
Redknapp
Hutchison
Kennedy
Marsh
Clough
Matteo
Mcateer
Harkness
Babb.....
They were all rubbish right?
The 90's for me was just Robbie Fowler, a couple of good games against Newcastle and then 98 onwards i was hooked again thanks to skytv.
A quick flick shows that the missing years we finished 6th, 6th, 8th, 4th, 3rd, 4th, 3rd and 7th

Actually just flicking through this book here i notice that i did watch avidly 95-97 when i thought Collymore was one of our best ever players and would win us the league, i thought i remembered us being close in one of those years to a title challenge but looking at the points it doesnt seem so. Fuck it i was drunk.
 
I remember the 3-3 v mancs as one of my earliest footballing memories. That was early 90's
 
I still feels pangs of guilt when I think that Leeds gave us £5m for Matteo - Suckers!
 
McMoneyman had loads of skill and an immense engine, but even in his best days his final ball or shot was cr@p surprisingly often, and he stopped bothering for his last 18 months or so anyway.

Redknapp could have been a great player but for injuries.

McAteer was a good player badly handled, like a number in Uncle Roy's time whose reps from their time at LFC are therefore not what they could and should have been.

The rest on that list were mostly pretty ordinary, though I'm sure they'd have done a lot better if they'd come to the club at a better time.
 
Probably the best game (from memory it's the first one that sprung to mind) is a (I think) 6-3 beating of Crystal Place, featured all McManaman, Fowler, Redknapp etc in their pomp
 
Best memory is the mcmanaman solo goals v villa and Celtic and of course the nutty game v toon

That was a 6-1 in the first game of the 94/95 season. Molby ran the show that day. This was followed up by a home win and then a 5 nil away win at Swindon. Lots of us thought we had cracked it. Then we lost at home to Spurs for the first time since 1912 and the rest is history. We came nowhere, and Souness got fucked off after a 3rd round defeat to Bristol City at home.
 
So ultimately boozin was the right idea?

Thank heaven for Houllier and a return to power.

Sorry mate, you got your seasons a bit mixed up there. Souness went the year before that, when the season started with Clough getting 2 on his debut.

The 6-1 against Palace was the season after and was followed by the Fowler hat trick against Arsenal.

We used to batter teams quite a lot in the mid 90s, but also used to totally not show up regularly too.

I blame the drink. And older age....
 
One year under Evans we did come close to winning the league ... but ended up coming 3rd in a two horse race with United. Typical

TBF to Souness, he walked. He'd have done so a year earlier but for Moores persuading him to stay on. >🙁
 
I'm quiffing, not off the conveyor belt or from an English club, but anyway...

Vegard Heggem, he'll always have a place in my heart. One of the best attacking fullbacks I've seen, probably could and should have been a winger, didn't score a shit goal, had to take on the entire opposition first. This lad could do everything, cross, tackle, turn players inside out.

Fucking injuries.

A lot of the seasons tend to merge for me too to be fair.

I remember the very early 90s very clearly - thanks to being at school, watching football at any opportunity I could and then buying those end of season videos - but it tailed off quite a bit in the mid to late 90s.

I remember a few games here and there, but looking through the results from those days there are matches I completely forgot about. And even after being reminded of them I still can't remember any of the goals.
 
I remember the latter half of the 90's better, during the first half I was being a teenager on the lash and fucking around.

You mean there could be more kids out there?
 
The 90s was fucked by lack of disipline and too many crap players to compliment our good youngsters. The Ruddock pass the pound story tells you why we were never serious contenders. The fat idiot!

And off the pitch we were being run by idiots too. United got their stadium expanded nearly 20 years ago now. 20 years of extra ticket money while we fell behind.

Was it 92 when Robbie smashed in that old toilet hattrick with no stand behind the goal or away fans, due to redevelopment.
 
I'm convinced McManaman was a great player, convinced.

I watched some LFC TV the other day and it had a smorgasboard of his career with us, and by fuck he did some great stuff. He really was a very good footballer.

I think that gets lost cos he played in a team that largely won fuck all, he left us for peanuts, and cos he turned into one of those players who pointed to other players where to go while he had the ball at his feet, which is really REALLY annoying.
 
Oh, and the 90s remind me of Stig Inge Bjornebye, the big massive fucking shitcunt.
 
Thanks, Ryan.

For some reason I was racking my brain thinking about some game in the 90's against the Mancs when we were a goal up and some cunt of a ref gave them a penalty because he'd judged one of our players to have handballed when he went up for a header.

I couldnt remember wh the fuck it was

[/quote]I hate that. I never make the suggested runs. Its what you do to kids.
 
I remember being all excited when we played Strasberg in the Uefa Cup - think we lost.

I remember the Mcmanaman goals against Celtic like they were yesterday, as well as a few Berget screamers.
 
Evening all - I thought i'd chip into this as my first post here. I have a few overriding 90's memories.

Signing McAteer - I thought he was going to be boss as he had a 'Big Engine' I was convinced he was going to transform the team.

McMoneyman - He really was amazing. Not least in the cup Vs Sunderland an outstanding MOTM performance

I remember thinking Souness was trying to win the title like he had with Rangers - Filling the team with some tough buggers. Ruddock and Dicks spring to mind.

Rednapp used to get called 'The Crab' on account of his sideways passing.

But I guess really the 90's belonged fully to 'God' - He was simply immense and still my favourite ever Liverpool player. The day he returned I cried like a baby! :-[
 
Welcome Mr Astaire, yes Jason really was a let down, him and Babb, looked great for Ireland in the WC.

regards

Thanks Vlad - Yeah Babb was another. I was there at Anfield when he 'Posted' himself. I felt for the poor bugger when the whole ground literally laughed him off the pitch as he got subbed and subsequently sold. 😛
