Hindsight's lovely

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

I remember there was a Guardian article, in the summer of 2004, don't know how to even contemplate searching for it - Will probably knows it by memory. Anyway, Rafa had just joined, Owen left & Stevie granted us a year to see how things shaped up. The article's basis was:

 

May 2001, and a not-yet-21 year-old Steven Gerrard had just scored in the UEFA Cup final helping his club to an historical treble. This should have proved to be the launch-pad to a career littered with honours and medals, league championships aplenty.

 

Little over 3-years later and one of his primary foils - Michael Owen - has moved on to pastures new, to join the Galacticos at Real Madrid, Liverpool have continued to be perennial underachievers & Stevie promises to be yet another fantastic talent wasted at a club these days associated with being the nearly-men.

 

blah blah blah

 

...and that's why Stevie should leave Liverpool & join Chelsea, to fulfill his dreams & potential.

 

 

Since then? Owen's won nothing, left Real & now plays for Newcastle.

 

Stevie has won the EC, an FAC & been player of the year.

 

How times change
