Profile

Thomas 'Tom' George Bromilow was a legendary England international left-half who played for Liverpool between 1919 and 1930. He was virtually ever-present during the back-to-back League title triumphs of the early 1920s.

Bromilow was signed by Liverpool after the 24 year old turned up at Anfield one afternoon in 1919 asking for a trial. He had only recently been demobilised from the army. George Patterson, the then Liverpool assistant manager, agreed to give him a trial and was impressed by his skill. Tom was signed and a legend was made.

Bromilow soon became an established member of the side that was to win back-to-back League titles in the early 1920s. A fine tackler and distributor of the ball, Bromilow was regarded as the brains of the team and blossomed into a full England international within three years of turning professional. He continued to be an influential first team regular until the latter part of the decade, serving the club with distinction and leading by example as team captain.

Team Lineup (4-1-3-1-1, which becomes a 3-2-3-1-1 when in possession with Bromilow playing next to McMahon, as a left sided DM)

_____________Clemence______________

Neal (C)__Henchoz__Bromilow__A.Kennedy

_____________McMahon_____________

Goddard_______Barnes_______R.Kennedy

________________Chambers__________

___________Toshack________________


Player roles

Neal and Kennedy...attacking full-backs, providing the genuine width on the pitch, hugging the touchline and linking up with Goddard and R.Kennedy respectively.

Henchoz to focused on defence solely, while Bromilow has the role of DLPM (very similar to the way Agger plays).

McMahon has the role of protecting the back 4 centrally...sitting in front of Henchoz and Bromilow. Goddard and R.Kennedy to track back if a full-back is out of position.

McMahon and Bromilow are responsible for distributing the ball to the attackers ahead of them.

Barnes to play with a free-role...allowed to roam from left to right flank and through the centre at the feet of Toshack.

Chambers and Toshack will play as the small and big combination with Toshack playing as a traditional centre-forward...bringing the four quick attackers (Goddard, Barnes, R.Kennedy and Chambers) into the game with knock-downs and assists.

26, is this definitely the last round?

Date of Birth: 22-11-1946
Birthplace: Glasgow
Debut : 7th April 1969 v Stoke City (A) Football League Division One: Drew 0-0
1st team games: 222
1st team goals: 21

He and Steve Heighway ushered in an academic 'first' for Liverpool when they appeared together as university graduates in the team that played Mansfield Town in a League Cup replay at Anfield in September 1970.

It was Bachelor of Science Hall's first senior start for the club and Bachelor of Arts Heighway's first team debut - and the Kop celebrated the occasion in typical apt and witty style by labelling the studious pair 'Big Bamber' and 'Little Bamber' after Bamber Gascoigne, who presented the popular TV show "University Challenge"!

Hall, at 5ft 6ins the smaller of the two, posed problems for defences with his flank runs and crosses and a terrier-like ability in midfield. His energy seemed boundless and the most famous of his 21 Liverpool goals was his first one. It was the winner in Liverpool's 2-1 FA Cup semi final defeat of Everton at Old Trafford in March 1971.

Glasgow-born, Preston-raised Hall left Liverpool for Plymouth in a £35,000 move in 1976, having collected a batch of major medals. He later became a schoolmaster before returning to Anfield to become the club's public relations manager.

Peter Cormack

Date of Birth: 17-07-1946
Birthplace: Edinburgh
Debut : 2nd September 1972 v Derby County (A) Football League Division One:
1st team games: 178
1st team goals: 26

Honours with Liverpool: First Division Championship 1972/73 & 1975/76, FA Cup 1974, UEFA Cup 1973, Charity Shield 1974

Profile from LFC.TV
A skilful, high-stepping Scotland international signed by Bill Shankly as the last piece of his double trophy-winning jigsaw in 1972-73. The elegant former Hibernian midfielder cost £110,000 from Nottingham Forest after being recommended by Shankly's brother Bob.

Cormack, menacing in the air and packing a powerful shot, made a telling contribution to Liverpool's capture of the League Championship and UEFA Cup in his first season at Anfield.

He scored eight goals in 30 outings to help secure Liverpool's first championship for seven years while he figured in 10 of the club's 12 games in a thrilling UEFA campaign which landed d Anfield's first European trophy after a two-leg conquest of Borussia Moenchengladbach in the final.

The following year Cormack collected a FA Cup winners medal after the Wembley defeat of Newcastle and earned a second title medal and another in the UEFA Cup under Bob Paisley's management in 1976. In November that year he joined Bristol City for £50,000, later managing Partick and in Cyprus and Botswana, before becoming an after dinner speaker based in his native Edinburgh.

Vladimír Šmicer

Club Appearances: 183
Club Goals: 19

Country Appearances: 73
Country Goals: 26

Vladimir Smicer may be leaving Liverpool in the summer of 2005 but he signed off in fine style by playing a crucial role in the Champions League win over AC Milan.

Coming on as a substitute for Harry Kewell Smicer scored and also scored a vital penalty in the shoot-out.

It was a sweet reward for Smicer who returned to action in February 2005 after missing most of the 2004/05 season after a knee operation.

Smicer played for Rafael Benitez in the pre-season win over Celtic in the USA but then suffered a nightmare when he needed an operation on his knee.

Smicer first arrived at Anfield in 1999 and joined his close friend Patrik Berger at Liverpool.

An attacking midfielder Smicer is agile, skilful and creative. He first shot to prominence in 1996, helping Slavia Prague reach the semi-finals of the UEFA Cup and then starring for the Czech Republic during their surprise run to the final of Euro 96.

He then moved on to French club RC Lens where he enjoyed more success - inspiring the club to a first ever-French title in 1997/98.

In June 1999 he was recruited by Liverpool to fill the void left by the departure of Steve McManaman to Real Madrid. His first campaign in the Premiership was a difficult one as he struggled to come to terms with the pace of the English game and his cause was not helped a succession of injuries.

The 2000/2001 season saw Vladimir fare much better, whether it be on the flanks or behind the front two. Having got to grips with life in the Premiership and regaining full fitness he showed in glimpses just what he is really capable of and played an important role in the Reds treble cup triumph.

My Fantasy Team

-------------------------Scott--------------------------
--------------Raisbeck---------Paisley-----------------
Finnan------------------Molby--------------Hughes (C)
----------Callaghan--------------Gerrard--------------
-------------------------Garcia---------------------------
------------Beardsley------------St. John----------------

Subs - Murphy, Smicer

Paisley would manage the team, and Hughes would captain it and Gerrard would be the vice-captain.

Raisbeck, Paisley, and Scott would be a solid center defense pairing and goalkeeping combo.

Since this is fantasy I would take Finnan and Hughes when they are at their respective peaks. So they would be able to fly up and down the wing to provide solid defense while providing delivery to Beardsley, St. John, and Garcia.

Molby would sit in a deep/defensive role for this team. He would be helped by Stevie G, while Callaghan would drift out to the right to help Finnan offensively and defensively. Gerrard would not be given a total free role as he would have to help Molby hold down the center of the midfield.

Garcia however would be given a free role up front. Hopefully Beardsley and St. John would hopefully form a solid partnership. Beardsley would be the SS.

Murphy and Smicer are two versatile subs, and they could be used to fill in all of the midfield roles and the SS role.

With Paisley as the player-manager and Hughes as the captain, explain to me how this team wouldn't win a ton of trophies?

Birthplace: Glasgow
Debut : 31st March 1984 v Watford (A) Football League Division One: won 2-0
1st team games: 108
1st team goals: 42

Honours with Liverpool: Division One 1983/84, 1985/86;
PROFILE
The Scotland international was signed by manager Joe Fagan for £450,000 from Ipswich in March 1984 to re-inforce Liverpool's midfield armoury which was being depleted by Graeme Souness' impending departure to Sampdoria.

The Glaswegian won impressive notices at Portman Road during Bobby Robson's management era. He had arrived as an apprentice and won FA Cup and UEFA Cup winners medals with the Suffolk club, for whom he became a formidable marksman from midfield, revelling in their contests against Continental opposition who found him an elusive player to mark.

Wark was voted 'Player of the Year' by his fellow professionals of the PFA in 1981. His ability to make telling runs from deep positions and strike crucial goals was instantly evident after his arrival at Anfield. He scored against Watford on his debut and scored again against Leicester as Liverpool went on to retain the Championship.

The following season he scored five times in 10 European outings, including the winner in the away leg against Lech Poznan and a hat trick against the Polish side in the Anfield return. He broke a leg in 1986 and rejoined Ipswich for £100,000 two years later after scoring 42 Liverpool goals in 108 appearances.

HONOURS: Division One 1983/84, 1985/86; Scotland Under-21.

Wark was a guy I wanted if Ray Houghton hadn't been available. Good player and versatile.

Edit: Bonus points to Dakota for using all the proper punctuation marks on his players' names. :)
