      Some comedy gold in this thread.
      Toxteth whippet indeed.  :lmao:

      Not to mention Ruddock and Molby being elevated to the pantheon of potential all time greats.

      American Plant, Robbie Fowler is very close to being the greatest striker in the clubs history, how you could bring him is this thread is verging on treason.

      Go stand in the corner!

      Inter and Juve were both linked but the Parma CEO said it would take an offer in the region of €35m to get him, apparently. I don't suppose it would take THAT much in reality.
      Still, shows the lad is doing ok for himself.

      Maybe if he does move to a big club like Juve or Inter and does well there, he could be seen as "one who got away"... a bit like Piqué or Giuseppe Rossi for the mancs, players they let go really young who are doing well now.

      Yes, if only the Toxteth Terrier/ Whippet hadn't lost his mobility, we could be remembering him as "one of the greats".

      Sadly, all we have left to cherish is the 183 goals he scored and 5 trophies he helped win.

      Molby is an absolute legend lad. How could you dispute that?

      Read back mate, the fella was trying to compare him with Pele etc as one of the worlds greatest ever.

      An all time great for us is right, but he wasn't in that class.

      Here's the direct quote to save you some time:

      PS OK Ruddock wasn't signed as a homegrown youngster. But if, he'd had the attitude, I think he could have been incredible. Say like Koeman, but better. Likewise Jan Molby, could have been one of the world's all time greatest ever.
