This is a tumblelog, kinda like a blog but with short-form, mixed-media posts with stuff I like. Scroll down a bit to start reading, or a bit more to read more about me.
Alex: To be honest when I first met him he was dead like, not cheeky but just really confident, do you know what I mean? Just like… he didn’t shut up. He came to my mum’s house when I was baby-sitting and he just told me he was coming and I was like ‘woah, what’s going on now?’ Because I thought I haven’t even met him before and the last thing you want when you first meet someone is to be stuck in a house baby-sitting
Stevie: It was harassment, I think

I don’t think you could use any other word for Sami than legend. If you look at the standard of his performances ever since he came to the club, his level of consistency then you would have to say he is up there with the very best centre backs we have ever had.
And when you take into account his transfer fee you’d have to say pound for pound he is one of the club’s greatest ever signings. He is definitely one of the best foreign players to play in the Premier League and he is arguably Liverpool’s best ever foreign signing.

My own abiding memory of Hyypia came in the days leading up to his final appearance in a Liverpool shirt. Being fortunate enough to be offered the chance to interview him for the Liverpool Echo, I arrived at Melwood on the Thursday morning before his last game at home to Tottenham Hotspur and spent the best part of half an hour discussing the career highs and lows of a soon to be former player. As usual, Hyypia was honest and forthright, his respect for the club he was leaving as evident as the emotion that he was doing so. But it was when the interview came to an end that I realized just what Liverpool meant to him. I thanked him for his time, wished him luck for the future and then expressed my gratitude for everything he had done for the club. Hyypia didn’t buy into the latter, though, for him it was the club that had done everything for him and he just felt fortunate to have been a part of it for as long as he had. But as he went on to talk about his affection for the fans, his eyes began to fill up. In a hard bitten industry like football, people don’t reveal their emotions too often but here was one of the game’s finest exponents showing exactly how much Liverpool Football Club and its fans meant to him.

What’s it like playing alongside Jamie Carragher and Sami Hyypia?
When I came to this club I knew there were two world class defenders. First of all I said I wanted to fight for my place, but then I also said I could learn lots from them. If you learn from the best you can be the best. They have been here for many years and have lots of experience, so I can still learn a lot from them. Every training session and every game I try to listen to them and do what they tell me to do. I know I play in my own way and that’s why Liverpool bought me, but I try to pick up pieces from their games and mix it all together. (14 december 2006)

I was Sami’s room-mate for my first four years at Liverpool.He has been a good performer on the pitch and also off it. His attitude is always to be totally respectful and honest with everyone. I like this way.He has been a great player, a great person and a great servant to the club.
Sami has been the perfect example and also a fantastic Liverpool player. Because of that, all the players here have a great affection for him. His attitude and honesty have always stood out.
He is always in a good mood around the place. Sami is the model professional and will be remembered for years by the fans, players and staff alike.
Whenever he has played this season he has done very well.
Whenever he was needed he was there. His level of performance has always been very good. That is what you can expect from a model professional, as Sami is.

“Sami is simply one of Liverpool’s greats. He is the best central defensive partner I have ever played alongside and he is one of the greatest signings the club has ever made. When you think of the performances he produced so consistently and the longevity of his career, for that price tag, it was phenomenal business.”

“Sami has been an absolutely magnificent servant to this football club. He came in and showed his worth immediately. He was made captain of the club and even when the decision was taken to make a change and give the armband to Steven Gerrard, the dignity he showed was brilliant and reflected tremendously well on him as a person. To spend 10 years at the same club is a remarkable achievement, and even more so when that club is Liverpool and the demands to succeed year after year are exceptionally high. But Sami’s performance levels have always been very, very high. When he first arrived people commented that he wasn’t quick - but over the years he hasn’t lost any of that pace because he didn’t have too much to start with! He reads the game so well and has made a massive contribution - at both ends of the pitch - to Liverpool Football Club.” - King Kenny
