23-man LFC Legends squad to face Real Madrid:
The Liverpool FC Legends squad will be comprised of 23 former Reds for Saturday's charity clash with Real Madrid at Anfield.
Managed by Ian Rush and captained by Robbie Fowler, the home side will be seeking revenge for a 4-2 defeat against the Spanish giants at the Santiago Bernabeu in the summer of 2015.

What about SHOOOOT!!?

 

I see the definition of legend being stretched past breaking point here.

 

The mighty Biscan?

 

In what sense?

Kvarme instead of hyypia would certainly be one. Grobs or clemence should be ahead of Westie.

Rest is ok to me.

 

Igor Biscan is the second greatest player to ever grace the game. The greatest to ever don the famous red shirt.

 

McAllister

 

yup him. bjorn... lol. he must be ancient now.

 

By legends, they just mean past players.
