FONDLY remembered as one of the toughest players to wear the red of Liverpool, Jimmy Case won four league titles, three European Cups, a UEFA Cup and a League Cup in his 269-game Anfield career. Bought from South Liverpool for just £500, the midfielder from Allerton,...
THERE are raw materials, and there is end product, writes JAMES OWENS. None who saw Divock Origi’s displays in the 2014 World Cup could fail to have noticed a decent quantity of the former. Few within these shores had heard of Origi before his substitute...
NEWCASTLE. Like a bizarro world Liverpool. Geordies. Like Scousers, and yet totally different. They’re a lot nearer Scotland for a start. That changes things. An old mate, a Merseysider born and bred, once worked among the North Easterners (actually he was in the jug...
