- John Aldridge recalls his first visit to Anfield and how he fell in love with Liverpool Football Club as a young boy growing up on Merseyside. 'Aldo' also talks about his days playing around the amateur scene in Liverpool in the 70s before signing for South Liverpool in 1978, a move that would eventually lead to him being one of the top strikers in European football.
The former Ireland international was speaking to Tommy Martin for our Sports Stories: John Aldridge episode.

The sign of a legend at a club or any club is they are always remembered from childhood i grew up in the 70s and when you say legends at anfield you have these guys st john hunt keegan toshack rush dalgilsh barnes beardsley and aldridge you dont get in that company and adored by the kop if you are not top quality to be in that list tells you everything abut john a real top class goalscorer aldo you are loved from afar by fans of all clubs
I grew up watching the Liverpool videos and Roger Hunt was brilliant to watch on it. The goals he scored were incredible.
Aldo is bringing out the 8 year old in me now , watching The Cup Final v Dons when he missed the penalty and I cried for hours , from my couch presently in New York YNWA
I’m a lifelong Newport County fan remember him making his debut, he came just at a classic period for the club - promotion to the old third division, winning the Welsh Cup and narrowly going out of the European Cup Winners Cup in the quarterfinals. He’s quite rightly regarded as a County legend.
A fairy tale in the making ❤
Tough days when Aldo come through the ranks
Don't forget Jimmy Case played there too. Steve Heighway at Skelmersdale.
Still a Newport County legend to this day. Len Ashurst gave him a stepping stone to playing for Liverpool.
must have been tough for him, where the violin? playing for the top team for a hefty salary then paid off with a six figure sum when his services were no longer required, then goes on to earn more than when he was at Liverpool and living in Spain...it must have been so tough! heart bleeds.
A little bit jealous are we?
