He’s a whining cunt IMO i can’t be having him at all. I respect all he did as a player and everything, but he just seems to have a chip on his shoulder and i can’t warm to him as a person.

Liam Brady’s arrival in Turin dates back to the summer of 1980, when he left Arsenal for Juventus and became the Bianconeri’s first ever foreign signing after the reopening of the frontiers.
Brady has retained a warm place in the hearts of Juve fans everywhere, not only for his unmistakable class, but also for the supreme elegance with which he played the beautiful game. Winning over the fans was no easy feat, however, for one as shy and humble as Brady. But within just a few months of his arrival in Turin, he had already become a fundamental component of the side under coach Giovanni Trapattoni, fortified by his experience at Arsenal, and by the fact that he made his international debut at the tender age of 18.
The 1980/81 season was a fantastic one for Brady in every way possible. He was outstanding in front of goal, where he always managed to create space for himself where previously there had been none, and finished the season as the League’s top scorer with eight goals. He added a further five to his tally during the following season, bringing his total to 13 goals in 57 games. But Brady’s strengths did not stop there: in addition to his undeniable prowess on the pitch, he was also an all-round decent bloke, polite and kind. Good manners were extremely important to him: he used to say that he considered them to be essential equipment for every professional footballer - as well as for life in general.
Sadly, Brady’s departure from Juventus was not a happy one: his farewell came as a surprise to no one more than to Brady himself, particularly since he had contributed to two successive championship-winning seasons since his arrival. Indeed, he learned of his move from a friend, although it was clear that the rumours surrounding the imminent arrival of Michel Platini threw Brady’s presence in Turin into grave doubt. He officially learned of his move from chairman Boniperti. Their meeting took just 15 minutes, and Brady’s career in Bianconero - though not in Italy - was over. He now moved to Genoa, to join Sampdoria.
Brady left Juventus having taken his total of League goals to 13 in 57 games. Perhaps none was more important, though, than the penalty he scored in Catanzaro in the last game of his final season with the Bianconeri, which ultimately gave them the League title, beating Fiorentina into second place with just one point less. Brady’s goal becomes even more admirable when you consider that when he drove the ball into the back of the net, he already knew that he had lost his place to Platini. A true champion, if ever there was one.

Why are you showing Marco Tardellis career stats in a post about Liam Brady?
Just reading about Chippy’s antics last night. Outstanding stuff - I’d even consider watching his part of the show on RTE Player. My good pal Richie Sadlier told me a while back that he has no relationship with Chippy whatsoever. Chippy gave him a curt “hello” when Sadlier first worked on the same RTE pundit panel as him. Sadlier criticised Trap on that show and Chippy hasn’t spoken to or acknowledged him ever since. Wonderful.
Trap is some man to wire a stereo.
Great interview with Marco Tardelli on the guardian website. No surprise to see him speak glowingly about his good mate Chippy
As usual, Chipy absolutely nail it
beautiful
