Every single player who walks thru the doors at LFC will of course walk back out of those same doors after giving service to our wonderful institution, we’ve seen hundreds of players over the generations who were fan’s favourites, best player, best goal, best pass, best teeth, etc etc,
Roberto Firmino is simply the latest superstar to have made the same journey, he’s certainly been one of my favourites in the 46 years I’ve been in love with the same bird, Kenny was my first, Bobby won’t be the last unless I peg it before he goes,
He’s special, no two ways about it, his skill set above most, like Kenny, he was two yards faster in mind and together with his tricks n flips was always a danger whoever the oppo was, he would work his arse off for the team, from tracking back to pressing and being the first defender, his link up play with Mane & Mo allowed both to score goals aplenty in particular Mo,
I almost changed my avatar to ‘Bobby’s Gnashers’ cos I admire him so much, I had the same kind of respect for Gini too but not quite on the same level for Bobby, there are far too many special moments Bobby has provided during his time here, one that always comes to mind was I think against either Saints or Stoke, can’t remember, red & white stripes anyway and we were in our Orange clobber,
the ball is fizzed in to him quickly, and with one flick sets up a goal, it looks like a run of the mill back heel flick, but in slo mo he actually lifts & flicks the ball so the defender can’t intercept, typically Bobby using his vision and providing yet another assist, f***in hell, we’re gonna miss ye Bobby la,
Many of us have have experienced fav players leaving or retiring, Kenny, Souey, Jocky back in the day, God, Aldo, Digger, Sami, Alonso, more recently Carra, Gerrard, Gini and now we’re adding Bobby, it is sad always is, but like those before him, Bobby leaves us with his head held high, he will leave us with great pride in his heart and he will leave us with Legendary status ,
“There’s something that the Kop wants you to know, best in the world is Bobby Firmino”
Si Senor, give the ball to Bobby and he will score !!
Thank You Bobby, YNWA
