      the Joe Fagan quote about not having a clue about what is going to happen on the pitch before his first match. It is noticeable how these lads actually cared about each other and had fantastic team spirit now we have wealthy young men doing their own thing

      First of all, how I've just found this thread so quick after a good few beers is absolutely f**king beyond me.

      Just seen Jan at Leasowe Castle and he was very good.

      Some great stories especially the ones about Ian Rush and how f**king thick he was.

      I'll post a few of the stories, tomorrow, as I'm pissed now but only if:

      a) I remember the stories in the morning
      b) I remember writing this post in the morning

      All very doubtful but ay, he was f**king good and I recommend seeing him if the opportunity arises.

      Said they'd all gone down for breakfast at some hotel in Wales and a waitress announced that there was no bacon.

      Rushy says to Molby under his breath at the table: "20 million sheep in the country and they've got no bacon"

      😂

      Also, he said when he was mulling over the Swansea job he rang Rush and asked for his advice and was told sternly by him to not take it. Was asking why and was told by Rush: "Because they won't take to you there in South Wales, Jan. You know what they think of the English in South Wales."

      Roomed with him for years and thought he was f**king English 😂

      As a Liverpool footballer Jan Molby had class and as an after dinner speaker he also has loads of class.I still recall the F.A. Cup final against Everton when Ian Rush scored from a pass from Jan just inside the Everton half and the commentator was drooling over his vision.

      See Jan regularly walking his tiny Dog and he is always willing to have a chat a real gentleman and true legend.

      Good but I would've preferred more pure football stories rather than taking the slash out of a great legend.

      I hardly think Ian Rush is crying himself to sleep at having such stories divulged. I don't think you realise that they are told with affection and not malice. And it tells us a lot about the jovial and great atmosphere which was that amazing Liverpool team.

      It's part of Rushie's legend that he was as thick as pig sh*t and what made that team so special - they all regularly took the absolute piss out of each other. It's what made players. you could either handle that or you weren't cut out for Liverpool.

      Spare a thought for Steve Nicol, some of the stories I've heard and read about the stuff the players used to do to him back in the day make the Rushie stories seem boring!!

      I know that. Just would've preferred more football stories and not several piss takes of Rush.

      I know a mate who's met Jan and had a bevvy with him, said he hardly ever talks about actual footy.

      Some players never watch the game. David Johnson admitted that he's not that bothered about the game. The majority leave the game altogether once they retire.

      Possibly the strangest case of a footballer giving up the game was Peter Knowles. Great player for Wolves in the 70's, scored over 100 goals but then at the age of 25 and at the height of his career, on the brink of an England call up retired to devote his life to being a Jehovah's Witness. He later worked as a milkman. By all accounts he never regretted giving up the game.

      Milkmen probably get laid as much as professional footballers, perk of the job no doubt

      Hang on mate, I'll try and remember the rest of his talk and post the full transcript for you.

      Well I didn't say they were said with malice. I know Molby was being tongue-in-cheek and that they are probably mates. Ron Yeats and others used to take the rise out of  Chris Lawlor, for being a very very quiet individual. One I remember was:

      Ron Yeats...." We were playing five-a-side with Shanks, just basic stuff with cones for goalposts..anyway Shanks gets one and lashed a shot in...and starts shouting...goal..goal..n o..no..we said..over post..it was in says Shanks...it went in........RIGHT...Shanks says I'll sort this...*we'll ask Chris....Right...was it a goal Chris*.....Lawlor sheepishly says....over the post boss........and Shankley says........" My god...yer never speak...an' when yuu duu.....yu tell fu'kin' lies...."

      ...

      Frankly, Mr Shankly

      Heard one (never found out if it was true) about Hansen and Dalglish tricking Nicol into believing that he needed a passport to get out of Scotland and over the border into England. The story goes as far to the extent they bundled him into the boot of a car to 'smuggle' him over the border.

      Don't know if I heard that one, did hear one about Nicol being left on the side of the road by Dalglish, Souness & Hansen, plus the other story of him being dangled outside a hotel window in Israel prior to the European Cup Final in 84.
