Steve Nicol Bruce Grobbler Ian Rush
Steve Nicol declared that day that he did not care where he would play for Liverpool as long as he was playing. Nicol had become a utility man for the club fitting in at any position that the team needed and admitted that he enjoyed the most when he was a central defender when he was playing with John Barnes.
Steve Nicol said “I class myself now as a central defender. That’s where I started my career. My debut for Ayr was as centre half against Falkirk, and then I moved to left-back. When I was playing behind John Barnes a few seasons ago, we were both fired up. That’s down to your attitude if I am picked in a particular position I just go and get on with it. It’s for the good of the team and it’s a team game, so you can’t really say you don’t. Want to play here or you don’t want to play there. I think being versatile has helped me over the years.”
