A player from our history

Gregory Vignal

After joining in September 2000, Vignal finally got an extended run in the side in the beginning of the 2001/02 season. Markus Babbel had contracted Guillan-Barre syndrome and Jamie Carragher was moved to the right flank allowing Vignal to slot in on the left. The Frenchman linked up well with John Arne Riise in front of him and showed some attacking prowess. Unfortunately, Vignal fractured his foot when Liverpool got dumped out of the League Cup by Grimsby on 9 October 2001 and was out for the rest of the campaign. He made four appearances...

Kop Quote

Ronnie Whelan on Steve Finnan

"He is a very good player and has been great for the past couple of seasons. He's now Ireland's main right-back by some distance and he's also the best in the Premiership at the moment. He goes about his business very quietly, he doesn't grab the headlines but he does an excellent job on the right side of defence.

"When he first signed for Liverpool, you couldn't help but think, 'is he really that good?' but he is getting better and better. His consistency has been first class and you can't ask for anything more. He's proven to be a very shrewd signing. His attacking play is coming on in leaps and bounds and it is no surprise that he's had so many assists this year. He's set up a lot of important goals. On top of that, he defends really well. He knows when to pass, when to stay on his feet. I'm sure he can improve even further.

In many ways, he's like Phil Neal. He is always steady and gives you 100% every game. He's the type of player every successful side needs."
