Istanbul Heroes: Where Are They Now?

Found an interesting article on the web that once again reminded me how much truth there is in the slogan, "It's not a Badge, it's a Family Crest". :)

zomg... the memories. I miss them. :( Sometimes I look at the lineup and I realise suddenly it's not the same team I used to know at all and I feel sad.

I seriously feel like crying when I read this... I miss them. all of them.

Sami Hyypiä, Jamie Carragher, Xabi Alonso, and Steven Gerrard are the only ones left in the squad from that magical night.
this is pretty shocking, only 4...

this just remembers me how much I miss Finns (I adore Alvie, but god Finns was amazing for us)...

I've become a fan last october, so I know very little about these guys, yet it feels like they were on their way to building a great team... I hope the boys that are with us now will help create something stable, because losing someone important is definitely no good.
I'm only watching Momo in Juve (as a Juve fan), but I'd never want Xabi to go to Juve, and I don't wanna know what it's like when a player you adore moves from the team you support... so new Dan deal is the perfect thing... I hope I'll never know...

Nah, we've got a much better team now. Don't get me wrong - they did us proud in the CL that season and Istanbul was pure magic, but the side is miles better now. The team was quite piecemeal back then.

Prepare yourself now because, if you hang around long enough, your favorite players will leave Liverpool one day, and yes, it's just as heartbreaking as you can imagine. I think from that squad I miss Garcia or Hamann the most.

God, this really is supposed to be *that* heartbreaking, isn't it? I mean, I'd cry my eyes out if Danny left, that would be a disaster.
I hope Rafa knows what he's doing and the team he's trying to build will become a champion really soon, because I understand that he sort of inherited most of those players and they just didn't fit... or that we were out of money... so now he's trying to do what he feels is best, well, I'm glad that the players I like are also the players Rafa likes, well, maybe with some exceptions, but anyway, you get the point :)

Finnan left Anfield last summer to Espanyol where Albert Riera came on the other way.
This line broke my time the most.
I mean, it's almost a year,right?
But I still miss Finns so much:/

I really like that article,because despite making me sad it also made me smile,all those wonderful memories...
