ynwa sami.

Liverpool have a habit of signing defenders with hard to read names. (L) Skrtel (R) Hyypia


It's been confirmed. At the end of this season, Sami Hyypia ends his 10 year association with Liverpool Football Club to join up with Bayer Leverkusen. The term "Legend" is loosely thrown around these days, but I'm sure it would be more than appropriate used on big Sami, a true gentleman both on and off the field. What he takes away is his aerial presence- that blond mop rising above many other heads to get to the ball first, his impeccable reading of the game, his great attitude both on and off the field, his cheeky smile when he knows he's made a foul and gets caught. But what he doesn't is the memories, winning everything except the league with us and serving as captain for many of those years, including the treble season. His 10 years of distinguished service is well and truely appreciated.

You'll Never Walk Alone Sami.
