Even when he was part of the ultra-successful Liverpool team, me often heard punters say "he isn't good enough".
But as former team mates reflected upon the news of his tragic passing, consensus appears that he was a top pro & one who thoroughly deserved his place in that great LFC team.
Solid, dependable & fuss free, Ablett was a vital cog in that Anfield MAchine circa 88-90 which many pundits consider to be one of the finest footballing sides ever.
Ablett won two FA Cups with both red & blue halves of Merseyside.
RIP.
