Where do you start!
First and foremost we've been truly blessed with talent up top throughout our clubs history.
Kenny was player manager when I started supporting the reds so as much as it grates me ala Souness from my own personally viewpoint I've got to leave the King out. I would love to be able to sit here and include the likes of Stubbins, Hunt, St John, Keegan etc against the more modern day counterparts but imo it would be unfair to do so.
Ian Rush what a player to start with, I would tell any young lad who wants to aspire to be at the very top of his profession to watch Rushie movement and work ethic. The wisdom he passed on to Fowler as Robbie was breaking into the side was a huge. Rushie was the man for the big occasion, think I'm right in saying it wasn't until the '87 league cup final loss that we'd lost a game when he scored the first goal!!!
John Aldridge what a finisher he was, he was prolific at whatever level he was playing in. He lived the dream as a red supporter himself and I will always hold him in very high regard.
Peter Beardsley any goalscorer would have loved Beardo as a partner (the proofs there with Aldo, Lineker, Cole), I don't think I've every seen such a unselfish forward in my time watching Liverpool. Would have loved him to stay longer but it wasn't to be.
Robbie Fowler, for anyone that was around when God broke into the team it was something very special. The amount and arrays of goals he scored puts him right up there. Don't mind saying I shed a tear when I turned the PC on to see he'd resigned.
Michael Owen he falls into the McManaman mould due to manner of his departure. But let me tell you this lad was frightening, he was fearless the way he ripped experienced defenders to shreds with his pace was breathtaking at times. Lets not forget he won the Balon D'Or with us not many players can say that!
Fernando Torres, I idolised the bloke my 8 year old daughters bear she got from build a bear at the age of 1, is still to this day called Teddy Torres
. I tried to get her to change it but she was having none of it, from the moment he torn the Chelsea defence a new one I thought this is a striker to be feared. His partnership with Stevie was feared right across Europe I just wish his stay didn't end how it did. Even before the transfer to them, he was sulking on the pitch it's the only way to describe it. I sat in the Kop his last game and it was hard too watch I must admit.
Luis Suarez. Unbelievable, more than anything the blokes desire to give every ounce he can and then a bit more. A talent I wish we still had but one imo that's impossible to replicate. A true one off genius.
Gutted to leave so much talent out but it's got to be done. Rushie and Suarez for me.
