Yep, Beardsley, so short sighted to sell him, he was a machine.

Alot of players left due to not liking sourness management style

I always thought he and rush were brothers

​@@cliveuuking4602I'd have thought the two completely different names would've been a clue. Lol.

@@kdlofty He meant unofficially. Like ones dad was the milkman.

Fact YNWA

Do you remember some guys crying literal tears about this? I do.

im not a liverpool fan, but he did walk alone he was kicked out. i heard liverpool fans singing youl never walk alone before and during the champions league final against real madrid. luis karius made afew awful mistakes on the night, yet he was left to walk alone after real madrid's 3rd goal, hes a human being who didn't pick himself, he was picked by your manager. After that match he was ABANDONED and forced away to walked alone. and was loaned off to some other clubs. what does it mean when yous sing 'you never walk alone'? is it only if you play well and win things? no-one sang to him that night that he would never walk alone. In my opinion, its just a great melody and words, its not backed by empathy. maybe i got it wrong mate, just how it seems to look to us on the outside! Peace out

So what do you expect? We keep Karius for another 5 more years?

@@BelfastManUtdTherapyhe wasn’t good enough to play in goal for the club. That is all that is. That summer, Liverpool bought what turned out to be the best goalkeeper on the planet, and after Karius’ traumatic time between the sticks for the club, there was no way he could stick around. Wouldn’t have been right for him, nevermind the club. He actually played in a friendly at Tranmere that pre season, and was given a HUGE amount of support by the fans, while also making more awful mistakes. His head was not in the right place. You could argue he’s still not recovered from it even now.

Karius was crap. Catch yourself on 😂😂

​​@@BelfastManUtdTherapySeems to look to us on the outside? Or more like to you? I think you're forgetting elite level sport is a cutthroat business. The majority of fans will always do their best to support the current squad of players, they'll have their favourites and others they think should be moved on. Some fans can be very vocal about this. It's the same in any club - no matter if they have a song you dislike or not.

It was a really strange decision at that time.

Dalglish didn't make many mistakes at all. Once he left then the mistakes began

Daglish was in love with Rush. He was his mate. Rush was God to him. I loved Aldridge. Loved how that team with him in it played. Wasn't the same with Rush.

You’ve one side

@@terrytownsend5583 True.

Aldo was at the 1978 European Cup Final.

I'm not a Liverpool fan. Remember when Rush left. Aldrich basically was another version of Rush. Super annoying.

The story he tells is that the crowd through it back again.

Remember that day so much love that man what a servant .

Your eyes welled up? How old are you ?

@@interabang I’m 50. A life long Liverpool fan - move to a Ireland when John Aldridge was signed and Liverpool had 7 Irish internationals in the squad. I met Aldo once as a kid and he signed an autograph for me.. it’s the only footballers autograph I ever asked for. I was saddened when Aldo left Liverpool, All that aside, go fuck yourself.

​@interabang we in the likebait era where people say ANYTHING for likes, nothing genuinely.

@@TribalScan. Yeah you’re so right. I was just typing as click bait. I was hoping people would like that comment when I said it. OR maybe you just said that hoping to troll me. 🙄 I think the later.

@@GreasyBelcher firstly you're a grown ass man. Secondly, IF you was "crying for Aldo", what did you do for the Liverpool legends that have left since? Bearing in mind there's so many which have made a bigger impact at Anfield than Aldo. Think carefully before you respond 😉

How is he underrated??

@@monkeytennis8861 never got the recognition of Keegan, Dalglish, Rush Fowler, Owen but every bit as good. EASY

50 goals in 83 league games

A lot of penalties in there .

@@edmundpower1250 Yes. But at the time it felt like Liverpool Would win and Aldridge will score. Every game!

​@@LEON.1717not every game though

@@monkeytennis8861 It felt like it. Like when Henry played for Arsenal, you just KNEW!

Jimmy Armfield always thought that Rush and Beardsley did not gel well together. Some fans now think it was a mistake to bring Rush back. it unsettled a perfect team.

There wasn’t an urgent need for a striker, there was for a central defender with the loss of Mark Lawrenson, Alan Hansen would call it a day in 1991, we should have gone for Gary Pallister or Martin Keown.

Absolutely. Must say I had mixed feelings at the time when Rush returned. The team had moved on considerably in his absence and felt the club had now taken a step back. But many just assumed Rush would break all records immediately, in that team with Aldridge possibly not getting a look in. @@randyborstol2491

​@DavidSmith-fs5qj we bought Glenn Hysen who was alright but aged 31 he was on his last legs as a Swedish legend

Yes that incident in the sideline when they didn't want to let him on Legend.

That was HILARIOUS😂😂😂😂

his header ensured ireland went through. even tho we lost.

Wasn't a big fan of Beardsley?? Weird!

Not a fan of Beardsley? Are you joking? One of the most talented English footballers ever?

@@sib1930 Don't get me wrong, there are things to like about Peter, but if you compare Aldo to Peter, he was more prolific, but KD probably saw a bit of himself in Peter and was trying to replicate the system for Rush. As for Peter, he then went on to stain his reputation a bit, so....where as Aldo is a Red all the way.

I think he looked like and was seen as a poor man's Ian Rush when he arrived and coming from Oxford didn't help. It was unfortunate and unfair but he more than proved himself with the fans.

@@guffy2339 Of course Aldo was more prolific based on the type of player he was. Beardsley was more about providing for others as a deep lying forward. Using your 'logic' Kenny Dalglish wasn't that that good a forward because of his strike rate but that totally ignores context. A lot of lesser players had better strike rates than King Kenny. Beardsley leaving hurt me more than Aldo as a kid, because we simply did not have a player that could do what he did. At least with Aldridge, Rush could replace his goals but nobody was replacing Peter Beardsley's skills and strengths. One of Souness' biggest fuck ups considering Peter was still smashing it for Newcastle well into the 90s, when we could have done with him badly in that era. Beardsley and Fowler in tandem would have been something to behold.

Good for John getting money to set his family up top striker as well

Only Owen dare to play for MU!😂

​@@sulongenjop7436 for a Liverpool player, to play for Man Utd, is like a Welshman playing for England 😂😂

The club froze Johnston's bank account. Uncalled for.

Along with Mark Lawrenson and Jim Elgin. Kenny should have replaced Lawrenson, it should have been a priority.

Sad for Aldo, deserved better. At least he and his family benefitted financially from the move. Still shoddy though. Although Liverpool went on to win the old First Division title that season Aldo staying might have helped them get another one. Whatever, not the way to treat one of your own.

It still doesn't feel like we have won a title 19/20 was covid era and was not the same. I hope we can win it this season and have a good time celebrating it.

A lot Irish players were moved on in a short space of time.

@@Bowlardo Uefa brought in a '4 foreigners rule'. Different world to today.

@@Bowlardo he isnt really irish tho

Were you the guy in the yellow baseball cap?

Hahahaha “YA FUCKIN CHEAT, YA DICKHEAD!”

That’s the problem, Rush was Liverpool’s greatest scorer ever…they could have kept Aldo these days playing 433 and needing a good squad to compete for 4 trophies, different time.

I think Rushie struggled with all strike partners. He had to be the number one strike and his numbers backed that up.

As a neutral, non liverpool fan, ian rush was the greatest goalscorer ive ever seen in from the british isles. John aldridge did well in his time at liverpool as his stats back that up, but compared to ian rush i know who i wud back to score a goal if my life depended on it.

The same Kenny wearing a mask in an empty stand and an empty stadium! Doing what he was told to secure a well deserved knighthood! The infamous Sir club!

@@colingeddes2172 Rush was the best striker in maybe Europe him and Van Basten , but it was between 1981-87 .

True that mate. I seen him on an after dinner speech. It was after the Hillsborough charity game at Celtic, Aldo and his wife were having a drunken domestic and making a show of themselves. Marina went over to tell them to go to bed and Aldo told her where to go. Says himself he knew he was finished after that. Don't know why he's telling a different story here

@@edmoss7952 yeh I get that impression mate. I think that goes with a lot of the 70s and 80s players. Had the misfortune of meeting Ray Houghton one night in a pub. He was an obnoxious cunt

Then you got off the bus

He'd lost two yards

There was but he was either in jail or injured.

Selling Beardsley was also a terrible decision
