“To captain Liverpool in any game is special, but to do it in a final, particularly an occasion like this, would be one of the proudest nights of my life,”
Jamie Carragher
“This city has two great teams - Liverpool and Liverpool reserves.”
Bill Shankly
“Pyramid of piffle [no, not his views on Liverpool but a report Petronella Wyatt was his mistress]”
Boris Johnson
“I spoke to Liverpool and unfortunately that deal could not come off,”
Michael Owen
“I have an obvious attachment to Liverpool and, if that deal could have happened, it would have been one big option. But, as the deadline approached, it didn't seem that would be possible.”
“[The Liverpool, N.Y., native has had his ups and downs, seeking a chance to stick in the AHL. He was the MVP of the 1998 Memorial Cup as his Guelph team lost in overtime in the championship game. He has one appearance already, a 32-minute relief stint opening night. He allowed two goals on 12 shots in the Sound Tigers' 8-1 debacle. In the preseason, he stopped 22 of 26 shots in two halves of games.] (Playing opening night helps) a little bit. Exhibition is not bad, but the regular season is a quicker game, ... It's good to get out there and get a feel for the game a little bit.”
Chris Madden
“Our first objective is to try to maintain the 0-0. That's all we need to eliminate Liverpool and that is what we are going to play for.”
