That's no reason to retire his shirt number at Liverpool, a number that was in fact made famous by people before him. Keegan wore the number 7 and made it famous, that's why there was so much pressure on Kenny to deliver as a number 7. Because losing Keegan was a massive blow to the club, though we knew he was going long before the end of the season we had ample time to pick his replacement - Dalglish.But it's not just Kenny who has wore the number 7, as mentioned Keegan wore it as did Beardsley and later on McManaman. All who did the shirt justice, probably other than Macca's last year where he was a right c**t and didn't put the effort in for the club. As I said earlier in this thread and pointed out earlier in this post, we've been blessed with so many greats over the years that every number 1-11 carries the name of a great. It's only because people make so much fuss about the number 7 because Dalglish wore it, that that's one that gets the attention. But with the likes of Nigel Clough, Vlad Smicer, Harry Kewell and Robbie Keane wearing it over the past 20 years there hasn't been too much to get worked up over "our" number. The number 7 shirt holds no more pressure than any other number. Yes one of our greatest players wore the number 7, some say he was the greatest ever to wear the Red of Liverpool. But our record goalscorer wore number 9, our record League goalscorer wore number 8, the man who played more times for the club than anybody else wore a handful of numbers, most famously though number 11. There's pressure wearing any Liverpool shirt, not because of the number on the back or who wore it before you but because of the name on the front - Liverpool Football Club.You put that shirt on, you put the shirt on of the most successful club in English football. You put on the shirt of the only English team to of won 5 European Cups and 3 UEFA Cups. You put that shirt on and you represent the world's greatest fans. That's pressure. Not the number you're wearing. But the club you're representing.And that's why not shirt number should be retired in my eyes.
Noticed in the match programme yesterday Insua not included anywhere...has he gone now?
He just wasn't included in the match day squad.
Your guess is as good as mine, nobody knows at all.
So insua is gone or what ?
