Personal Favourites

Some of the Site Editor's Football Favourites ...

Liverpool FC victories & trophy-collecting exploits - at home and abroad!

ManUre getting beaten at any time - I absolutely loathe that club!

(And specially for any ManUre fans viewing this site,

here's another look at your Y2K Christmas present from LFC,

delivered inside the confines of The House of Horrors!!)

The red half of Manchester - Trophy-Free Zone!!

(And the sooner, the better!!)

I wonder what this leads to?

Of course, I'm never unhappy when the All Blacks lose either! The saturation coverage afforded rugby - a minority sport in the global scheme of things - by the media in this country is the prime reason behind this stance.

Coverage of news and, particularly, sport in New Zealand shouldn't be determined by the perceived need for a "local angle" - this smacks of an ostrich-like mentality, and, to be perfectly blunt, is a form of brainwashing.

If local media outlets were far less introverted and less myopic in their outlook on the world, we would all be a great deal better informed on what's going on outside these fair shores, as well as within them. In this regard, thank grief for the internet!!

Favourite Footballers - LFC

King Kenny Dalglish

Kevin Keegan

... I give up - this category is just too difficult!!

My Top Five Favourite Male Footballers - just as hard, except for the number one ranking!!

Criteria for selection after the top ranking - would they have been good enough to play for LFC?

King Kenny Dalglish

Pele

Michel Platini

Franz Beckenbauer

Johan Cruyff

Maradona? Wouldn't touch him with a barge-pole!! Skilful he might well be, but would he have been consistently self-disciplined enough to put the well-being of the team before that of himself, something which, at Anfield, would be expected, in contrast to demanded, of him?

You don't need to be Einstein to know the answer to that, if the way he's let himself go in recent years is anything to go by! Thank heavens Mr Blobby is bright pink in colour ... think about it!!
