Luis Suarez Appreciation Thread

Maybe but to have a player worthy of the debate wearing the Liverbird is a privilege we thought we had lost forever until Luis showed up and led us back towards the promised land

I fucking hate liverpool. And everyone who follows them. That is all.

[SIZE=4]A fantastic image that shows the other side to Luis SuĂĄrez[/SIZE]
Luis Suárez has had a season to remember, not only for how brilliant he’s been on the pitch, but for the fact that after a difficult summer and after serving a ban, he’s on top form and has been on his best behaviour.
That has seen him become better liked across the board, and this picture, uploaded to [U]a Liverpool subreddit on Reddit.com[/U] shows the striker in a great light.
According to the uploader, the picture was taken in a park in Liverpool with SuĂĄrez and his young cousin who is just seven-years-old and has Down Syndrome. SuĂĄrez approached the boy and his father who were playing football after spotting that they had a Liverpool ball, and began to have a kick around with the young boy.

Redditor [U]benjibean[/U], who uploaded the photo gave some background to it, saying that at first the boy’s father didn’t realise who it was and thought he was messing around with his kid, before realising it was Suárez, and that the Uruguayan “was interacting with my cousin and letting him nutmeg him. Yes that’s right, my seven year old cousin has nut-megged Suarez”.
His uncle then asked for the snap and the Liverpool star duly obliged, ball in hand and all. Although the picture was taken around the time of the Ivanovic incident in Calderstones Park in Liverpool, it was only uploaded last night, but has already become a hugely shared image already. It’s a truly lovely gesture from the star, who has given the young boy a great memory that he will treasure for years to come.

What a guy :clap:

Overlong, but I found this an interesting read about Suarez’s background

Excellent sports writing.

He could have done with a good editor. As an aside, an excellently laid out format on that site. Would have been a shame to copy and paste it.

One of the greatest love stories ever told.

These bog Irish and their English masters just don’t get a winning mentality- they’d rather be heroic in defeat, the fucking toss pots.

What a man.:clap:

“Emotionally, I’ve felt fine; psychologically, I’ve been spectacular,” Suarez told several national newspapers.

“I could have really cried (in pain) because of this injury but I didn’t, because I knew. I knew. When the doctor first spoke to me three little tears fell, but no more. My wife said, ‘I can’t believe how strong you’re being’ but I knew I’d make it.

I bet Shefflington said the same just before he togged out for that All Ireland Final.

Signing in.

Liverpool fans are in a tremendously difficult position here but the world class calibre of the squad meant it was inevitable something like this would happen.

I may be late to the game but, by god, do I love this man.

It’s never too late, love knows no boundaries, mate
