A look back at a Liverpool legend

LIVERPOOL legend Sami Hyypia turned 38 on the 7th of October and we here at OurKop hope he enjoyed a fantastic birthday. To celebrate let’s take a look back at his successful time at Anfield. The giant Fin was a rock at the back for Liverpool for almost 10 years. He signed for the Reds for £2.6 million from Willem II in 1999 and...

Liverpool Greatest XI – Centre-Back – Jamie Carragher

Posted by Alan in Carragher, Featured, Hyypia, LFC Greatest XI

LFC have had many quality players in the centre half position. I have changed my mind a few times over the last few days who will be playing in the centre of my defence. I have decided to go with Jamie Carragher. This decision is partly because he has played in my era so I have seen more of him than his main rival for this position...

Certainly not a Sami Hyypia. In 1999 Ron Yeats scouted Sami Hyypia whilst he was still playing for Dutch side Willem II.

Sami has been with us for 10 years and has been an outstanding player. It is amazing that we only spent 2.5m pounds on him when we signed him but he went on to become one of the greatest...

Thank you Mr. Hyypia

There is a quality article up on the Liverpool Echo’s website about Sami Hyypia that I read today and it really got me thinking about the big Finn. It’s hard to imagine that he has been at the club for going on 10 years now, one of the only remnants from a previous time for our side, it truly does speak to his...
