My Left Foot



No, this posting isn't about the Daniel Day Lewis film but rather about our very own Hot Shot Hamish (Roy of the Rovers comic strip character whose shots used to break crossbars) - John Arne Riise.

Despite the fact that "Thunderbolt Thor" only scored one goal in the recently concluded season (and an own goal at that!); Riise will always hold a special place among many a Kopites' hearts.

He was a scorer of spectacular goals rather than a spectacular scorer of goals; so he was never gonna trouble Phil Neal fer that all-time scoring record by a defender. But he gave us plenty to fooking shout about, not least that goal v the scum.

Anyways, got this vid from the MyRawk site & its here fer yer enjoyment. Let's just hope we don't fooking draw Roma in Europe and be on the receiving end of one of his exocets. My left foot indeed . . .

gotta admit, JAR's definitely one of Liverpool's best signings. eh, who brought him to anfield? was it Roy Evans or G Houllier? or both?

Houllier. Pinched from under the noses of Fulham & Jean Tigana. 5m quid well spent me says.

Kerp : Spot on! I think JAR is right up there along with Hyppia when you look at their purchase price.

AD : Did JAR cost 5m? If yes, then Hyppia wld be the best signing then. I think Hyppia cost just 1.5m

LLT: Me thinks Big Sami cost around 3m quid while Henchoz came ona free or fer 1.5m.
Yes, we paid 5m fer Riise.

He ain't the same since 2 seasons ago. As good as he is, i'm always frustrated by his defending and positioning sense.

Any how, he's been a great servant to the club and have given us a lot of memories to cherish.
