ON THIS DAY: JUNE 8, 2000

Gerard Houllier announced the capture of France World Cup winner Bernard Diomede on this day back in 2000.

/noticias.info/ The left winger made his Reds debut in the 1-0 UEFA Cup win over Rapid Bucharest but his first team opportunities were to prove limited because of injury problems and difficulty adjusting to the pace of the English game.

Diomede came close to scoring what would have been a goal to remember at Anfield against Sunderland, but he saw his spectacular overhead scissor kick superbly pushed onto the post by Thomas Sorensen. If that had gone in who knows how Diomede's Anfield future would have mapped out?

We say many happy returns to Javier Mascherano as our Argentine star celebrates his 24th birthday today.

Our dynamic midfielder was born in San Lorenzo, Sante Fe, Argentina in 1984. notas_de_prensa_archivo
