KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Final year of Houllier -vs- Now

Markop this guy is a thug not comitted. How any one can defend this Ruddock is beyond me. I understand what your saying but I can personally guarantee you that Ruddock was behind the majority of the trouble that was caused during Roy Evan's time as manager.

right yer gonna have to explain the coin thing to me.

I'm pretty sure it was Coventry we were playing and during the game the Liverpool players had a single pound coin on them. And during the game they passed around amongst them selves. Who ever had the coin at the end of the game had to buy the drinks for evey one on a night out in London. They were winning 1-0 with 10 minutes to go and lost 1-2. The guy thought this story was hillarious.

This guy is a complete c**t.

there is no excuse for any professional player to get wasted the night before a cup final against our most hated rivals - ruddock is scum

There's no excuse for a player to get wasted the night before any game let alone a cup final. Just goes to show the lact of respect that the man has for anything or anyone.

ah i think he's great.

Sorry Markop but I going to have to agree to disagree with you on this one. If you think that this was the worst thing that Ruddock did while he was at Anfield then your naive. He was more interested in going out on the lash than committing himself to Liverpool.

houllier secured 4th spot, not good enough I know but he did and look what happpened the following year!!

Being the senior player in the squad he had a responsibility in setting an example to the younger players in the squad because of their age are easily led astray. Could you imagine Giggs, Terry and Lampard behaving in this way?

Not a blind view. Just being realistic. If you cant see that Ruddock had a role to play in the squad looking after the likes of Fowler then maybe its you who's blinded at the moment?
