Brazilian acrobat, villain-turned-hero. Was signed by Spurs from the Eindhoven Circus in 2008 to be
long term replacement for fans' hero Paul Robinson. Spent early part of his career at the Lane
doing impressions of Manuel Almunia and was described by goalkeeping expert Alan Hansen as 'the
worst keeper to ever play in the Premier League'.
Unless we're watching an International friendly, the days of a football team donning the
traditional 1 to 11 numbering system is long behind us.
Since the Premier League switched to assigned squad numbering at the start of the 1993/94
season, you are just as likely to see a goalkeeper wearing the number 25 shirt as you are of
hearing Alan Hansen refer to defending as ‘catastrophic' on Match of the Day.
Liverpool Daniel Agger has reportedly challenged Roy Hodgson to "have the guts" to tell him if his
Anfield career is over.
Agger has been a frustrating figure during his team on Merseyside, drawing comparisons to legendary
Reds defender Alan Hansen with his early performances, before spending far too much of the past 18
months in the treatment room.
Alan Hansen played for Liverpool Football Club for 14 years. He is now one of the most respected
pundits in the game and says exactly what he thinks. But he still has LFC at heart.
This week, in his exclusive LFC Weekly column, Hansen reveals what he believes needs to happen both
on and off the pitch in 2011 at Liverpool FC.
