A player from our history

Rickie Lambert

Liverpool let Lambert go when he was fifteen years old in 1997. In that respect comparisons can be drawn with another teenager Liverpool released, Ted MacDougall, who scored over two hundred and fifty Football League goals for other clubs after Liverpool let him go. MacDougall never got the chance to return to Liverpool except as a visiting player. But probably the three goals he scored against Liverpool gave him more satisfaction than most players would have felt. Lambert has also played and scored against Liverpool but now he had an...

Kop Quote

Neil Ruddock on Collymore

"Stan only seemed to turn it on when he felt like it, and he didn't exactly endear himself to his team-mates when he was quoted in a magazine article as saying that he was disappointed with the service he was getting, and that, when he joined Liverpool, he expected to be surrounded by better players. He turned on the other players in the team when he should have been looking at himself. When the lads read what he'd said the attitude of virtually everyone in the squad was 'fuck you Stan'.

Stan didn't make any attempt to get on with the lads and, although I used to sit next to him on the coach and try and make conversation with him, I could never claim to know him. Nobody did. He'd turn up for training, do his work, get changed and go home. Not exactly conducive to good team spirit, so I think most of the lads were relieved when he was finally flogged off to Aston Villa."

If you'd been at school, he would have been the boy who ate worms.

A Statistical Look at Liverpool’s Premier League Performance This Season

23 April 2026

Liverpool’s current Premier League campaign has been one of contrast, strong attacking output on one hand, and periods of inconsistency on the other. A statistical breakdown of their season reveals a team still competing at a high level, but one that has not fully matched the dominance of their strongest recent campaigns.

When Liverpool's Big Bets Paid Off (and When They Didn't)

23 April 2026

There's a reason Liverpool supporters have developed a habit of holding their breath when big news breaks. The club operates at extremes. Decisions that look questionable on announcement day end up defining trophy-winning eras, while others that seemed perfectly sensible at the time dragged the club backwards for the better part of three or four years.

Liverpool’s Left Flank Is Losing One of Its Defining Players

15 April 2026

Liverpool has already said goodbye to some significant players, but some of them have a different emotional coloring. They do not simply eliminate good in the team. They change the figure of a team in their heads. Andy Robertson is one of them. He is more than a left-back, as he has been doing so for almost ten years. He has been one of the most articulate translations of the Liverpool character: tough, violent, sentimental and never backward.
