Same subject, different aspect - when we signed the King to replace Keegan I thought we'd made a mistake. It wasn't that I thought he was a poor player, but I did think he was overrated. I've never been more wrong, nor happier to be so.

Hahahaha, me too. I remember running down the road to pick up my Dad's newspaper and on the back page was a huuuuge headline "LIVERPOOL SWOOP" and underneath were pictures of Alan Curtis of Swansea (his equivalent today would be Andy Carroll - in terms of potential rather than style), Trevor Francis of Birmingham (another hugely rated young talent), some Coventry forward whose name escapes me at the moment (short ginger lad who was prolific at the time) and KENNY.
I didn't even bother to read the article I just ran back to Dad to show him we were replacing Keegan with these 4 players! Much to my disappointment Dad read the article and explained that we're only going to sign one of them. I spent the next few days praying that we'd get Curtis or Francis and Dalglish was my least favoured choice - he was the oldest of them and only played in that dodgy Scottish league - how little I knew!
