A Lad From The Glory Days Bringing Back The Glory Days!
We are here at Anfield day as we announce the arrival of new manager, Tom Hammond, Hammond was one of the unforgettable players from the glory days here at Anfield, playing Right Back from 1975 till 1987 where he won four Champions League trophies with the club, in 1987 he left the club for a resurgent A.C. Milan side.
Hammond was known by many people as, the soul of Liverpool Football Club and many Liverpudlians have been quoted as saying, its the best choice since King Kenny joined as a manager.
" I love and live for Liverpool FC, as a local lad I know how the fans feel about the troubled times we have been through over the last twenty years, I would like to return the club to the big time a time where I played and the club felt good about it self. The fans at this club deserve to have a team that play football worthy of winning anything, after all the fans are the most loyal and passionate supporters around. However it is deeply disappointing that I will have to speculate to accumulate. I like the team I have at the moment with strengthening in few areas I'm sure this Liverpool side can once again, reach the heights." Hammond had many drinking off his passionate words the only question now is, can he deliver?

Hammond's Notes On Pre-Season :
Honestly my pre season couldn't of gone better the lads are a really professional and loyal bunch. I used pre season to test my players they responded brilliantly, two goals conceded in seven games, had the mistakes been cut out then we wouldn't of conceded at all. A youngster called Lucas Leiva has impressed me to be honest, Rafa played him because he saw his potential, I can see the same thing he has the building of a top notch central midfielder, Emiliano Insua also impressed me during pre season playing solidly from the back. I am quite glad to see Albert Riera leave the club we gained Ten Million pounds from the piece of business. My captain's Steven Gerrard & Jamie Carragher have shown me enormous respect & have promised to stick around while I'm in charge. Things are looking good for my new look Liverpool side.[/b]

Hammond's Reign In The League Begins.
Game 1.
Liverpool vs. Hull
Game 1.
Liverpool vs. Hull
Hull City 0 - 1 Liverpool
Liverpool kept the ball to themselves during the first half and looked good on the ball, however without skipper Steven Gerrard they lacked the clinical edge. Again in the second half the lacked the clinical edge but in the 2nd minute of stoppage time and probably with the last kick of the game Martin Skrtel tapped in a rebound which fell to him, a deserved win for Liverpool who's crisp passing showed all afternoon but they just lacked the finishing touch.
