News about John Aldridge

Former Liverpool striker John Aldridge has criticised Jack Grealish and Declan Rice for switching their international allegiances. The two England stars were met with a hostile reception from Irish fans during Saturday's Nations League clash.  It didn't faze them, however, as both netted in an impressive 2-0 victory fro the Three Lions.

England face Ireland on Saturday and the game will have more meaning for Three Lions manager Lee Carsley and one of his players. Carsley will take charge for the first time since taking the reigns from Gareth Southgate as the Three Lions get their Nations League campaign underway in Dublin. Carsley is a former Irish international who led the England Under-21s to glory  in the European Championship.

Sven-Goran Eriksson's children have paid tribute to their 'brave' father and thanked all those who created 'positive memories' with him during his illness. Today, the former England manager died aged 76 from pancreatic cancer sending shockwaves across the footballing world.

A young fan pitch invaded Liverpool legends' match with Ajax and then took a selfie with Steven Gerrard. Gerrard led a team of former Reds players to face their Ajax counterparts in a charity game to benefit the LFC Foundation at Anfield. After he revealed his terminal cancer diagnosis in February, Sven-Goran Eriksson was joined by Ian Rush, John Barnes, and John Aldridge in the dugout as he fulfilled a lifelong desire to coach the club.

Sven-Goran Eriksson continues to be a gentleman who does everything possible to have a happy life two months after discovering his terminal pancreatic cancer diagnosis. When England boss Terry Morgan said he had 'about a year' to live, he would live to play for Liverpool Legends against Ajax Legends at Anfield on Saturday. He is now back in Sweden receiving medical attention, and he has admitted that his shock cancer diagnosis brought his life into sharper focus.

On social media, a rundown of Liverpool's salaries since 1960, exposing the huge disparities between current and former players' salaries. Former Liverpool star John Aldridge shared the paper on X, the internet formerly known as Twitter, on the same day Jose Mourinho received another multi-million-pound payout after being barred by Roma. It reveals the shockingly low wages earned by Reds legend Bob Paisley, who is widely regarded as one of the best managers of all time, winning six league titles and three European Cups.

After being tricked into believing he had Covid, one former Liverpool star was left red-faced. The ex-striker, who scored more than 300 goals in his career, said his wife was the one behind the trick, according to a post on X. 'So the wife told me four days earlier that I had Covid...' he wrote.' With more than 94,000 views on social media, the post attracted the attention of followers quickly.

John Aldridge, a former Liverpool striker, has advised the Reds to sign Everton centre-back Jarrad Branthwaite. The Toffees star was part of the team that lost the Merseyside derby on Saturday but has since being on Sean Dyche's team this season. Having not participated in Everton's first two games of the season, the 21-year-old has started the last six games, and Aldridge believes he should be a target for Merseyside's red side. I don't want to upset any Evertonians by saying this, and whether Liverpool will purchase from Everton is another question, but I do agree he has the potential to go on and become a leading figure and a starter for England.

In a smattering over Chelsea's signing of Moises Caicedo, Liverpool legend John Aldridge has slammed Chelsea. Jurgen Klopp's side had reached an agreement for the 21-year-old from Brighton but only for the Ecuadorian to snub the Reds in favour of a transfer to Stamford Bridge. Chelsea reported a British record £115 million contract for Caicedo on Monday, dealing a huge blow for Liverpool, who are desperately looking for a defensive midfielder before the summer window expires.

For several footballers, how they leave a club influences the light and shadow of their legacy. Fernando Torres was branded a "fake and a fraud" by John Aldridge when he left for Chelsea, despite the joys he had brought Liverpool fans. This stuff matters. Much has and will be written about Henderson's impending transfer, lines of hurt, apprehension, counter-argument, and knowledge. Let us examine the moments he has lived at Liverpool, both highs and lows, as his time comes.
