We signed the big Finn, Sami Hyypia ... One of the greatest defenders in the premier league era, and one of the best in our club's illustrious history.

What's your favorite Sami moment?

Love Sammy. Class act. Thanks for the memories. Too many to remember. Juve volley?

 

[Red Astaire]

His performance against Roma in 2001 - Stunning

*also waits for someone to tell me it wasn't him*

His goal against Tottenham or his performance against Man U.

His goal against Tottenham or his performance against Man U.

Where he got sent off?

 

[Modo]

Where he got sent off?

Of course.

Not the 4-1 game, that's just stupid.

 

[Fabio]

Of course.

Not the 4-1 game, that's just stupid.

It is dreamy though

[article=http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2632788/Manchester-United-Arsenal-told-cost-45m-sign-Cesc-Fabregas.html]SEM agency advisor Dave Sheron has been toasting a successful end of season. Aberdeen manager Derek McInnes, who has revived his career since leaving Bristol City, won Scotland's manager of the year and their football writers' award while Crystal Palace's miracle man Tony Pulis won the LMA's award for Premier League manager of the year.

Sheron is an advisor to both McInnes and Pulis and is also helping former Liverpool defender Sami Hyypia. The genial Hyypia is still such a popular figure at Anfield that fans started trending #ohsamisami on Monday in tribute to the fact that he signed for Liverpool 15 years ago from Willem II.

However, it is his managerial career that Sheron is helping Hyypia to shape. The 40-year-old Finn was sacked by Bayer Leverkusen despite guiding them towards a Champions League qualification position and is now looking at opportunities in England. West Bromwich Albion, Norwich and Brighton have all taken note of Hyypia's availability and the contacts he can bring.[/article]

Jes can't even be remotely funny when you have my rep

The header against Arsenal in the CL, a beautiful header and we really needed it, we were getting battered before that went in.

 

[Spaghetti Legs]

There was an article yesterday about him possibly coming back to join our coaching team, not sure of its been posted elsewhere?

 

[Spaghetti Legs]

Just looking for a gif of the header and found this...




Look at Torres there with some fire in his belly, strange looking at that.

 

[Squiggles]

Only slightly behind Gerrard as my favourite ever player.

What a brilliant man and player he was. I'll never get bored about telling people about Sami Hyypia in 40 years time.

The game where Babbels 1000 yard stare fucked with the refs head so much he changed his mind on the penalty he had just given, lol.

 

[Gary25]

One of the true Greats of Liverpool FC. A tower of strength at the heart of our defence for a decade. Solid as a rock.

Ohhh Sami, Sami

The header against Arsenal in the CL, a beautiful header and we really needed it, we were getting battered before that went in.

That is my favorite moment as well. What a game that at was.

 

[Judge Jules]

Favourite moment (of many) for me was when we beat Barca at Anfield and he went in with a combined tackle and clearance on Rivaldo which registered on the Richter scale.

He's EXACTLY what we need on the coaching staff to spiff up the defence. Sign sign sign.

 

[SummerOnions]

That ronaldinho esque touch against utd when he hadn't played for ages
