- John Aldridge may have been at Anfield for only a short time, but it is a testament to his ability that he is considered one of the best goalscorers to wear a red jersey.
He was an integral part of Liverpool's 1987-88 Championship winning side - scoring 26 league goals as the team went 29 games without defeat.
Little known fact; Aldridge also won the Ian Rush look-a-like contest 3 years running while at the club...
my favourite Liverpool team ever. Grew up watching this team. Barnes is my favourite player ever at Liverpool. What a team.what a squad actually.. Grobbelaar. Lawrenson. Nicol. Hansen.Staunton. Mcmahon. Whelan. Houghton. Beardsley. Aldridge. Barnes. Johnston. Molby. Gillespie. Venison. Great video thank you
Couldn’t agree more pal and John Barnes is my all time favorite
The only Liverpool team in history in my opinion.
@@bogeythedog163 no Liverpool had great teams also before that team that won European cup with Kenny in team.
They were insane players and it was a privilege to watch them. Even the likes of Venison, Abblett (RIP), Rosenthal, Hysen, Mike Marsh, Burrows, and a few others were great squad players. Miss those time I must admit. If only I had a time machine.
Spackman, Rob Jones, Paul Walsh etc too
Always remember that cup final goal , great ball from Nicol , even better from Mcmahon and cool as you like finish from Aldridge , pure class.
Took us on our trip to the moon. We will NEVER forget him at TRFC
Being an Oxford and Liverpool fan, Oh Johny Aldridge was my hero. Goal machine and top bloke. Got to see him play in person from 84 to 89 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Lucky bastard! More than us Koppites got.
@@notdeadjustlazy Dean Saunders (eventually) after relegation without Aldo nor Ray Houghton, both to LFC. Kind of hard to replace without any real money and the Maxwells going belly up :)
@@notdeadjustlazy Right, I forgot that Deano also went to LFC. Well, I for one am very happy that the Yellow's were LFC's temporary feeder club ;-) Happy days
Players like Aldridge are priceless. Not a gifted all round footballer but he had the ability to do the most difficult thing in football.
How many players are there in the modern game who score as consistently as he did?
He was still averaging better than one in two in his late thirties in the Championship for Tranmere. Has an incredible career record.
I think his gift was being in right place at right time and also his passion die hard attitude, and really likeable person
Could drink Gazza under the table...
Classy way of celebrating goals back then. Just a handshake.
Absolutly amazing liverpool team
Aldridge helped mend my broken heart when Rush left Liverpool...
I have had a conversation with John Aldridge and I’m not just saying this he’s a very a nice humble man, what a great striker he was.
Very memorable player, great memories of his time at Anfield. Great player.
I honestly cant believe Aldo was moved on so quick, he was absolutely superb, I could never understand that. Him and Rushy were as deadly as anyone, always loved watching em, what a brilliant team too, Beardsley was seriously underrated
2:01 what a ball. I miss this era. Give me one of these games over the modern era any day.
Brings back memories of how gifted he was in front of goal
Incredibly consistent with his goal scoring throughout his long career.
John Aldridge what a legend. Who needed Ian Rush during that magnificent 1987/88 season.
Some of the best football ever and shame he missed that penalty in the final,football fan first and an MU fan to be noted,honest about talent !
Should never have gotten rid of him. Dont get me wrong, rush was amazing, but the system worked with better with aldridge, barnes and beardsley.
I agree
always in the right place at the right time
Loved aldo !
one of the great goalscorers, everywhere he went
Magnificent football from that Liverpool side. John Barnes - John Aldridge - Peter Berdsley probably the best attacking line in the history of the sport. Look at the pace of the game, look at the long passes, pure quality and entertainment. Today's game is a joke compared to what was played 30 years ago.
Those who say Messi is the greatest player in history haven't seen John Barnes.
The reason why they don't talk about Barnes is prabably because Liverpool was banned from european football that time and he couldn't show his class in the european cup.
His goal scoring record for every club he played for is outstanding
The first foreign player in the Real Sociedad modern era. Aldo was a genuine goal poacher, always in the right spot willing to score. True legend with us and I suppose there near the Merseyside.
I am lucky enough to go and meet with this Anfield LEGEND in December, I am really looking forward to that.
1st goal in that vid. Hillsborough 88. Superb. Limbs
John Aldridge was just as integral to this team as any other Liverpool player. I recall thinking as a 10 year old when Rush moved to Juve: "Who the hell is going to replace him" and not only did he look like Rush, he was arguably as good as him during his time there. It's funny because i was actually disappointed when Rush rejoined because I knew he'd only go on and replace a man who gave us so much during that time. So it was a mixed bag of emotions. My only crititicism of him was that penalty miss in the 88 Cup final. It was a pretty tame effort. He was normally so confident with those but the run up he took against Beasant just didn't look right.
Aldo is a true anfield legend dispite his cup final penalty miss
True Newport County legend too!
Great striker, I remember how devastated he must have been after cup final penalty miss in the 88 cup final.
Great days then for Liverpool .ynwa
I liked players like Aldridge and McMahon who seemed to step down off the Kop put on a pair of boots and play for their idols
McMahon was Everton mad
Aldo was very underated
Nothing short of scandalous how Dalglish treated him at the end.
Legend a proper goalscorer
If only he'd scored the the 88 final goal.
Aldridge liverpool legend Ynwa96
A true legend
Well known bellend aswell
good player
You should tweet him this
Legend.
what a irishman.
I never understood why we got rid of him, I know rush was back with the club but aldo was dropped like a hot brick.
He probably wasn't going to get first team football with Rush back, who was also 3 years younger than Aldo. And back then, football wasn't as much of a squad game as it is now. Nevertheless, I was also disappointed when he left, although not on the same level as when Beardsley left. We replaced Aldridge but you couldn't replace Beardsley. That really was scandalous.
Its a pity aldridge didnt play more games with ian rush ....as great as rush is the best of the best ..when he went juventus and liverpool bought beardsley..barnes and aldridge ...it fitted like a glove ....when rush came back yes the return of a legend but why they sold aldridge .
I never could understand..?? ⚽️🏆✨
Aldo 💥Goal simply wonderful 🇦🇹
When did players stop giving each other handshakes and start high fiving?:)
Lovely fella I work in David Lloyd and he goes the gym in there a genuinely nice lad, (plus he’s a Garston boy like me 😉)
Good in the air for is size
Selling Aldridge was pure madness. I’d have sacked Dalglish for even suggesting such a stupid sale.
why oh why did we ever sell Aldo??
Why why why did Liverpool let him go?
And why not resign him after Spain?
was it Fog by Radiohead?
2 fantastic years dalglish dropped a bollock when he sold him
You can see why Liverpool ushered him off to a foreign country they couldn't afford him going to a top English club
He shud of got a medal for the 1989/90 season
He was useless at darts and table tennis though
בית"ר בישראל. בית"ר בחו-"ל. 💛🖤🤲
What a player the way the treated him at the end disgraceful
Was room enough for both also and rush and beardsley rotate and let them fight for their place
