In the summer of 1999, Liverpool were in transition from the ‘Spice Boy’ side of the Roy Evans era to the more pragmatic squad of internationals that Gerard Houllier would eventually leave behind for Rafa Benitez.

Jaap Stam had set a world record for a defender when he moved from PSV to Manchester United the year before, in the summer of 1998. The big Dutchman had been brilliant at Old Trafford, looking worth every penny of the £10.75million United paid for him.

Splitting his tra...
One of those unknowns was Sami Hyypiä, brought in from Willem II for a fee of £2.6 million. Any Liverpool fan who would claim to have foreseen what was to follow is lying. The colossal Finn went on to be the foundation the new-look Liverpool was built upon.
Aug 10, 2021 · Both Alexandra Burke and her final rivals JLS have enjoyed incredible success since leaving the X Factor - but it was ultimately Ms Burke who stormed to victory.
Earlier a 'Sami' mosaic was held aloft by the Kop, and at the final whistle the No.4 broke down in tears. History will undoubtedly judge Hyypia to be one of the club's shrewdest pieces of business. His collection of winner's medals is in double figures and in 2006 fans voted him 38th in Liverpoolfc.tv's 100 Players Who Shook The Kop series.
