Most despised opponent


He single handedly changed the mood of Merseyside derbies. The exceptions were 84 Milk Cup and Charity Shield, and 89 Cup Final.

Otherwise a nastiness came over many rs that was not there before his 'tragic' blurting in front of many Evertonians who had come out to congratulate the rs EC win.

From this is anfield:

"(Tommy) Smith has since said he believed this caused bad blood with the Everton fans and spoilt the attendance at his testimonial shortly afterwards."

Still, may he RIP. Apparently he apologized afterwards.

…..Smith and Hughes didn’t get on so you have factor that into quotes from either.

I knew Hughes a little from my time at LFC. I’d started having hamstring troubles and would be taken from school to Anfield for treatment of a lunchtime and Emlyn Hughes would invariably come into the treatment room after training to put Vaseline on his hair.

As I’ve posted before, he was always friendly and courteous to me.

I have long ago forgiven him and pray that he is at peace.

His petulant comments were damaging but I acknowledge that he apologized.

Not sure about forgiving anyone for putting Vaseline in their hair though!! 😊

Gerrard, Suarez and Carragher. All from the same team, shows how much I despised them around this time.
Honourable mentions to Robertson and Henderson from more recent sides.
 

1. Diego Costa
2. Bruno Fernandez
3. Jordan Henderson

Costa was one of them that I wished played for us though, you could see him bully our defence and just admire him for it.

Rush ruined many a weekend for me, but as a bloke and a footballer I could only dispise him for his ability. Bit like when Ferdinand played against us.

gerrard and suarez for me, just horrible both of them.
