However I am not going to propose any of them.... For me the all time best was Stephen Gerrard for instanbul and for basically winning games single handedly for years for Liverpool. Also unlike Barnes and Dalglish for most of those years he did not play in a great side even the 2005 side was only good not great. Whereas Dalglish and Barnes played in world class sides with other great players. Liddell could quality but unfortunetly we don't have enough information to judge. So for me taking all factors into account I would nominate Stephen Gerrard as the greatest ever. If you disagree with my analysis the rules of this thread are you MUST justify your selection a name alone will not not be accepted as an entry.

Have to admit i never saw dalglish playing but I dont have same impression that he single handedly destroyed teams whereas barnes did. And... The thread is about individuals, gerard's strength is he is a team player (running box to box) Barnes didnt need to do that Last edited by Toothy; 14/09/12 06:27 PM.

His exploits on the field excited me so much, he was a goal machine. If he had kept himself fit and maybe led a bit more of a professional lifestyle in his mid twenties I think he would of been our all time leading scorer by now.

Stevie is just an wonder but a solo wonder never got to grips with owning a match for the team..barnes not far behing kenny, magic he was, souness also was awesome and scary, the keane of his day.

Thank you for me i wouldnt argue with anyone who said the best player ever was souey, dalglish , barnes ,gerrard or even keegan all equally brilliant and all have an equal shout .
