On an aside, I don't know if anyone watches ESPN Classic.  The team of 87-88 were on last night with Aldo being interviewed.  That was some team, what I wouldn't give for Digger and Beardsley now!

That was the best Liverpool team i have seen, Barnes was in the form of his life that year. I remember two goals he scored against QPR were something else. Would love to have seen them having a crack at the European Cup.

That was my first Liverpool game against QPR, BC1 junior took the scarf i had then with him to his first game last month!

"Apart from 1966, there have been 5 liverpool players, (past, present and future) to have played in a World Cup Final. Can you name them?"

Is this future Liverpool players?  That being the case I would like someone Like Kaka who will play in the next World Cup Winning team

Ok, the correct ones first:
Hamann for the first one. Played in 2002 WC final while a red.
Ziege is correct for the last category. Also played in 2002 WC final after leaving the club

Anelka, Cisse, Babbel, pelegrino all incorrect.

[AZOffaly]

I'm presuming they are relatively recent WC Finals, because I don't remember many Germans, Italians, Dutch or Brazilians at Anfield between 66 and say 90.

1970 was Brazil beating Italy
1974 was Germany beating Holland
1978 was Argentina beating Holland
1982 was Italy beating Germany
1986 was Argentina beating Germany
1990 was Germany beating Argentina
1994 was Brazil beating Italy
1998 was France beating Brazil
2002 was Brazil beating Germany
2006 was Italy beating France.

So by my reckoning it has to be lads from 1998 to 2006.?

Was that lug Cheyrou playing in one of those finals?

[stevo-08]

1 of the missing players played in a final before 1998. The other 2 played from 1998 onwards.

They were all Houllier signings, I think.

Cheyrou is also incorrect.

[thewingedlady]

Diomede won one in 98 but never played.Any good?

[gawa316]

Diomede

f**k ye beat me by 34 secs

[thewingedlady]

Just had a brainstorm, Insua played in world u-20 final and won it, think masch won one as well.

[stevo-08]

Diomede is correct. He actually did play a few mins in 1998, believe it or not. Later to become a Liverpool player.

So you're missing 2.

[Minder]

Karl Heinz Riedle

[stevo-08]

Insua & Masch are wrong. Senior World Cup Finals, we're talking about.

Riedle correct. Good shout. played in 1990 and later came to Liverpool.

If you get the last one, I'll be very impressed. Played F**k all for the reds.

[stiff breeze]

[thewingedlady]

Diomede is correct. He actually did play a few mins in 1998, believe it or not. Later to become a Liverpool player.
