The point still stands. Who the fcuk were the bunch of nobodies who lined out for Liverpool Myths at the Brandywell....? :confused:

Maybe this is why you didn't know many of the players that lined out for them :D

Ah the real legends were promised a trip to Ireland. You lads got the scraps. :)
Seriously though its gonna take a few 'names' for this type of thing to take off. A repeat of what happened in Derrry would be a disaster in terms of ticket sales.
Already a E500 bid in for the spot on the bench so in fairness its been a positive start. (wont be long before everything goes tits up :o)

Aldo, Whelan, Babb and Don Hutchinson confirmed apparantly

Only a true Limerick fan would have such optimism!

Honestly - most of them weren't even household names in the North-west of England back at the height of their playing careers, let alone now.

As per friday night's match programme, confirmed 'Legends' so far:
Ronnie Whelan, John Aldridge, Phil Babb, Jason McAteer, Don Hutchinson, Michael Thomas, Jan Molby, Gary Gillespie and Bob Boulder.

Not a bad selection, with more to be added yet.

Auction closes next sunday night.
Winning bidder gets to play at least 10mins with Liverpool Legends and will have his picture featured in the match programme in the Legends squad.

I'm moving this post from the thread that was closed earlier!

Is the Lims selection also including legends? The attraction of Finucane, Kennedy, Fitzpatrick, Wardy, etc even for a few minutes, may entice fans of the 70s and 80s?

I read this on another forum on foot.ie

Limerick FC auctioned a place on the Liverpool team on Ebay which closed on Saturday night, another such auction will take place for another place with Liverpool FC next week. Winning bid will be in the Liverpool squad, in the Team photo and play 10 minutes with the Liverpool Legends. Keep checking [COLOR=#005600]www.limerickfc.ie[/COLOR] for details or contact 061 324 563.

so does this mean there will be 2 subs from Limerick that win a place on ebay playing for Liverpool Legends

Mark Lawrenson and Phil Neal confirmed now.
