Dinho lad Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 I can remember the day it happened too. Scousers gloating that it was Riise's power that broke his leg. Classy. Actually, they applauded him when he was stretched off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 He only wanted to leave though because of the way Ferguson was towards him. He'd agreed terms with juve a year and a half before his contract expired. Two sides, depends which one you believe, no concrete proof either way just speculation.

Interpolic Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 His career was ruined more by injury than anything else. 100 percent. He was largely awful after he came back from that and a canny player beforehand, although not a worldbeater. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Fwiw I think it's a combination of injury and Fergie moving him deeper that ruined smith. Can't rule either out IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 In the spirit of truth and justice that has enveloped Liverpool and Manchester United in recent days, Alan Smith insists no-one rocked his ambulance at Anfield as it tried to take him to hospital in 2006. 'Everyone at Liverpool did as much for me as any club possibly could,' said Smith. 'I was disappointed the story blew up about rocking an ambulance. That was never the case. Liverpool and Man United did everything to get me to the hospital and everything in their power to make sure I was OK. 'I thank them for that. Sometimes it's nice to say that because people have read that they were rocking my ambulance and throwing stuff at it, which is so untrue.'

Tooj Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 IMO especially towards the end of his tenure with us Smith was the ultimate fraud whilst out on the pitch. For somebody that came with a reputation of giving it his all he was a coward on the pitch as he shied away from all responsibility and when he was playing in midfield all he done was stand on the toes of our central defenders and didn't look interested in receiving the ball (which is key for that position) and whenever he got it he just looked to pass it sideways or backwards. He never showed that work-rate that he was "famed" for either. People thought that he was good when we were in the Championship for the first couple of months but he wasn't. He did exactly that yet seemed to gain favour from the crowd for putting his foot in and making a slide tackle that more often than not came about because of his poor first touch.

Froggy Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 I can remember the day it happened too. Scousers gloating that it was Riise's power that broke his leg. Classy. Actually, they applauded him when he was stretched off. I remember the game extremely well, like yesterday. If you find a video of the incident you'll hear the song, and you'll hear their boos drown out the applause of our fans and a small portion of theirs. Trust me. EDIT: Drown out is the wrong description, but the boos are loud and clear. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neesy111 Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 I honestly thought Smith was a coward in the way he went into challenges. Going in gung-ho with no thought of how he was going to win the ball with most of his challenges. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
