KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum unsung heroes of 2005 CL Run

neil mellor , florent sinima pongnolle, igor biscan , steven warnock and scott carson and Anthony le tallac for juve at home , we all remember the heroes from the big games luis garcia , steven gerrard and jerzy dudek etc , but without the names mentioned above liverpool might not have got out of the group stages , on this day when reds are remembering 2005 just let remember the unsung heroes of the 2004/05 CL run , i always remember fondly dibril cisse scoring the first goal at anfield against monaco being the start of the adventure .

Theres a lot more to it than just the players youve mentioned though. It was a group effort and we needed everyone to do a job

yes of course just thought maybe a little thought for the players who are never mentioned who made a massive contribution to the run .

Don't think anyone had forgotten these names.

Not at all.

Cheers Faz.

i know they are not forgotten but just thinking of them as i say unsung heroes .

Some might say Raffa was our biggest unsung hero

well if you want to spoil a nice thread carry on , but i dont think benitez was or is unsung he gets many many bouquets and has had many meals off the back of the 2005 win and he deserves the credit for the win without a doubt , my thinking of this thread was just to remember the names of the players who made the contributions in the group and knockout stages and are not the names everyone thinks of first , IE biscan he played in a lot of the games , le coruna away set the goal up , juve away ,chelsea at home to name a few .

Yeah god post Faz. It was an amazing campaign really, we stumbled or sort of muddled through it, and nobody really expected us to go all the way, never mind win it. Then on the night it was dead and gone, but you have to give credit to Benitez he didn't give up and credit to the players they responded brilliantly, Yeah one of the all time great LFC nights.

Fair play Faz, just playing devils advocate.

Biscan for me was a favourite all season long - got shifted about positionally and never gave less than 100% - felt for the lad on occasion when he got red carded that season, thought he got hard done by. Couple of harsh decisions.

Dare I say it, was Spearing a poor mans Biscan?!?!?!?
Hahahaha..... bit of a back hander, but a hell of a compliment at the same time.

Mellors goal V. Olympiakos mind.... at the Kop end..

Wish you could've been in his boots???





Came home late from work that night, knowing we needed to win by two I just about lost my [oops] when I clocked us already one down....
