Sami Hyypiä Retires From Football

Didn't he say he is gonna be coaching at Leverkusen and Finland while he gets his badges? It could be a while before we see him here yet better late than never though!

Great player, would still be here only for Rafa not giving him a Two year deal, ah well, the rest is history, good luck in managment Sami, youll need it.

He was a top player, one of my favourites.

Was such a great player for 10 years. When he comes back we'll be here waiting with open arms

Ohhhh Sami, Sami!

You simply cannot talk about this Club without talking about Sami he has been one of the rocks up which this club has been rebuilt of late he simply must be back in the future in some guise or other, but with 12 mths still to do at Bayer and with the national side in his sights it may be a while before he turns up, more than welcome though  !

Yeah someone said earlier, in the future though, I'd have him back in a hearbeat.

True legend Sami Hyypia. Wishes you've happy family life and success in your future.
Hopefully you comeback help the club as a coach.
You'll Never Walk Alone.

Top guy, top defender.
He was without doubt one of the most intelegent footballers to grace the Anfield turf!
All the very best for the future Sami, you've earnt it!

I agree with you neil,hopefully he will get some coaching experience and finish up back at Anfield as our manager a few years down the track.

One of my favourite players ever to wear a red shirt!

Not just a great player but a loyal, dedicated professional which is hard to come by these days.  An all round top guy is our Sami.

One of the best defenders I've ever seen in my lifetime, as not just a Liverpool fan, but a football fan.  So cool, calm and collected, one of the most perfect timers of a tackle I've ever seen and got his head onto nearly every ball in the air.  Absolute legend!!

Good luck for the future Sami, hope to see you in some capacity on the staff at Liverpool.

And my personal favourite:



Legend.

Can just tell by those pics that everyone who ever played with Sami respected him and liked him. From the side he joined in 1999 to the 2001 treble winning side to the side he left in 2009.

Love the man to bits.

True Red
Gutted when he lost the captaincy to Gerrard
to be honest. Took it with total grace & humility.
All the best big lad.
YNWA..

The word 'legend' is used too often these days to describe players who in no way deserve it.

Not with 'our' Sami , a great pro ,a fantastic servant to our club , a thoroughly decent human being and yes a 'legend '.

So , thanks Sami for all you did for the Reds , all the best for the future , but don't forget , you will always be welcome at Anfield. A true RED !!!


Would love to see him back at LFC in some capacity in the future.
