El mejor delantero que ha pasado por la Real, lo tenia todo, rápido, oportunista, definidor, inteligente y de cabeza no perdonaba. 25 años han pasado y hoy en día se hincharia a meter goles
Recuerdo la polemica que trajo su fichaje, meses despues vimos lo buen jugador que era (venia del Liverpool) y se nos olvido un poco. Un futbolista que, aunque supuestamente venia ya en el ocaso de su carrera demostro su gran calidad, lastima que su mujer no fuese feliz y decidiese volver a las islas a acabar su carrera en el Tranmere Rovers.
From a Tranmere Rovers fan this brings tears to my eyes!! He carried on this form for us scoring 40 goals in his first season…..I had never seen these highlights before today, what a player Liverpool let go, what a player you had and what a player we signed!! Because of his Real Sociedad connection I’ve always looked out for your results my favourite Spanish side!
Considering the past records of players from the UK playing in big European leagues, Aldridge's time at Real Sociedad feels very under-rated. The likes of Rush, Hughes, Owen, Law, Greaves, Gascoigne and many others have struggled in one way or another (culture, style of football, language, difficulties adapting, whatever) or they've just been generally underwhelming, but Aldo seemed to take to it with ease. He kept playing the same aggressive way he always had and banged in two very decent seasons. In fact, he's just very under-rated, full stop.
I remember John giving the Mexican players a hard time in Spanish when Ireland played them in the World Cup. No doubt he was using some Basque stuff on them!
John was a proper fox in the box and Daglish was a fool to sell him because of a stupid 4 - 4 - 2 system. He should have kept Rush and Aldo together for at least another season.
Better than Rush💯. Aldo scored 31 goals in his final season @ Anfield absolute disgrace to sell him and so cheap. A natural born goalscorer who should have had more years @ the top divisions. Didn't understand why Arsenal or Spurs didn't go in for him. He would guarantee you 30 goals a season.
