Bringing one player from the past

[KFC]

If you could bring just one player from the past to play for the current first team who would it be? It can be any player but they have to have retired and be able to justify how they would walk into the first team.

 

[MomoWASright]

Souness. Hard as anything but could still play.

 

[juniormember]

Kenny. Mane, Salah and Coutinho would jizz in their pants every time they got to play (football!) with him.

 

[Mamma Mia]

Right now, Hyypiä

 

[Bradley]

Yeah, to complement the current squad you'd be better with a defensive titan. Hansen, Hyypia or Souness.

 

[dantes]

Souness would play one game, be suspended for the next three, play one, suspended for five, play one, and then be done with it season long ban. It's not an option. I'd take Alonso instead.

 

[Modo]

Hyypiä or Mascherano.

 

[redhorizon2]

Hyypiä or Mascherano.

Masher is still around

 

[Modo]

Masher is still around

Didn't read the fine print.
We'll then, I don't know Ince maybe.

 

[dantes]

That deserves a ban.

 

[Modo]

That deserves a ban.

I'm trying to come up with DMs here.
Might be in the minority but at his peak Ince was pretty good.
Oh shit forgot Hamann.

Ian Callaghan - no explanation needed

 

[leftpeg]

Dalglish. Always. Your greatest ever player will always improve your team.

 

[thekop_101]

If we had a striker I would say Gerrard easily. But we don't so probably Alonso.

 

[Dirty Sanchez]

Rush.

 

[Woland]

How has no-one said Suarez?

 

[Woland]

Oh retired. Ignore me. Alan Hansen

Ian Callaghan - no explanation needed

With all due respect, you do . This is a player from the 60's and 70's most of us may have heard the name but not seen him play.

With respect you do. This is a player from the 60's and 70's most of us may have heard the name but not seen him play.

Neither has Dreamy, but he wanted to be a bit different to everyone.

My dad played footy for St Pat's in Toxteth with Ian Callaghan. They were also in the gymnastics thing together and were in the British Olympic team for some running type shit and according to my dad, top friends. A few years ago at a sportsman's dinner I went up to Ian and asked him did he remember my dad, he said no, sorry lad, no idea who you're on about. That is my Ian Callaghan story.

 

[rurikbird]

Gerrard, of course

 

[doctor_mac]

Gerrard, of course

Yeah, that would be nice.

 

[Portly]

Sami Hyypia!

 

[LeTallecWiz]

I'd take Fowler.
We'd win every game 6/5-3/4 ...

 

[Woland]

Nah. Salah has a better scoring ratio than Fowler.

It's Alan Hansen. If you disagree you're a paedophile. It's that simple.

I cannot even make a joke about that anymore in light of shit going on nowadays!

 

[Spionkop69]

I'm going Ronnie Whelan. Unassuming, ruthless and no nonsense. He'd have been a priceless DM in the modern game.

But he also had habit of scoring own goals too, right?

 

[Actonian]

Ray Clemence. The best goalkeeper we've had in my time by far and would walk into any all time Reds XI. Great shot-stopper, brilliant at dealing with crosses, brave and decisive. Would give such a boost to the defenders in front of him by his ability and communication.

It’s better than Dreamy’s. For a start, yours features Ian Callaghan.
