I have to say that despite recent years of Lawro acting like a prick on TV he's probably one of the best defenders we've had. Probably the best tackler. My father who I inherited this Liverpool curse from used to love Lawro. When I was a kid I remember him as the tough guy at the back with the big moustache. I also remember watching old VHS tapes of Liverpool in the 80s with my Dad and he'd tell me to keep my eyes on Lawro just before he went for the ball. Monster of a defender.
Sure, I can't stand him at times but he's still a Liverpool legend and compared to Owen, he never sold us out during his playing days.
There's lots to hate about Owen. He seemed to prefer playing for England, he sold us out to go to Real Madrid, he joined Newcastle when he could have stood his ground, signed for Man U etc.
I was just about ready to defend him, but I just can't find it in me to do it.
I look back at the great memories of him winning us the FA cup final, carrying us for several seasons, scoring in the league cup final vs Man U and also scoring in Uefa cup final, but all of that is overshadowed by how he treated the club and the fans afterwards. It's sad really, how it all turned out. But in the end, it's his own fault.
