Actually, it is quite standard for Scandinavians to speak excellent English. They actually teach the language better, focussing properly on grammar in Scandinavian schools than we do in England.

it wasn't just his passing it was the weight of the pass. Uncanny. Never seen a player like it. Very humble for the talent.

Was Jan's paperboy from around 91-94 in Wallasey and every Christmas, I'd get £70 cash in a little envelope on the doorstep for me. Both him and his wife were absolutely lovely to me whenever they saw me. I cannot tell you all how amazing it was to see my hero quite often!!! What an absolutely lovely man. YNWA 🟥

That’s a real judgment of a character how they treat those around them, especially those who provide a service. Comes across as a proper genuine guy. I’m 45 and as a kid remember he seamed to have magnets on his boots. Fall just stuck to them.

Proper legend, used to live in Wallasey, and go to my local the Kings Arms pub most evenings in his playing days, he used to live in shell suits all different shades of grey and different coloured stripes etc. Had time for anyone for a chat about football and his other love horse racing. Wonderful man very friendly and approachable.

When he first came to England, he actually spoke with a Received Pronunciation (BBC) English accent like most Scandinavians. We corrupted that, ha ha

Loved watching Jan as a player and love listening to him now, a fabulous addition to a fabulous team in the 80's........that scouse accent still cracks me up though even now. Thanks for everything you have contributed to LFC Jan YNWA

51 i am now and for me Jan Molby is true LFC Royalty,it’s great to see him as eloquent/passionate and emotional about LFC,great interview YNWA

We always love Robbie Fowler he's the best striker

Finest passer of a ball i have ever seen

Great player. Great Guy. Great episode isn’t it😊. Legend.

Loved Jan as a kid, one of those rolls royce players you just loved to watch and try imitate. Great interview.

Brilliant player, totally sound man. He smiles at the right place and says the right things. WHAT a midfielder...

What a fantastic human being, a seriously great football player, and one of the very best for LFC. Very lucky to hear and see him every week on Danish tv, one of the best football commentator experts out there these days, always a pleasure. Thank you Jan. All the best from a Faroese LFC fan.

Two of my all time fav's Robbie and Jan. Tremendous interview. Will never forget that 86 cup final, legend.

Same here, that goal at the kop vs united in 85

Saw him once in Liverpool city centre. I said “y’alright Jan?”, he said “yeah!”. Classic banter.

One of purest two footed players I've ever seen, loved watching him. i remember an early season game against palace toward the end of his career and he had all the youngsters around him saving his legs and he sat in the 6 position putting on a passing masterclass.

He will be remembered as one of us, maybe Danish but a scouser through and through.

Jan left the club around the time I started supporting Liverpool. Grew up on stories about Jan the legend, one of the best ever to play in a reds shirt. Agger followed in his footsteps. Now we have Sofie Luundgaard doing the same, proudly representing her native Denmark too. We’ve got a huge support group in Denmark, with an OSG in Copenhagen. YNWA 🇩🇰

This episode is so amazing, what a great man. I’m 48 and I remember him and Barnes picture on my wall. Legend 😊

He's very humble, but without question my favourite player of that mid-80s team -- a classic footballer with tremendous technique and a rare eye for a pass! I also love listening to him talk about the game. None of the routine cliches that you hear from most footballers

Remember standing on the kop in '86 with me Dad watching the Danish Scouser. What a player!!!

Lucky enough to have watched Jan play, great memories - class act

Same here, watched Molby play but towards the end of his career around 1994. He was world class, great passer and a midfield legend.

Loved listening to big Jan, what a player he was, one of my favourite players in the 80s...Legend!

What an ICON. Jan you were my idol back then.

Love Jan. Im born in 78 and watched the 86 finale and final then watched him for years. One of the best weve had

One of my all time favourite players, he had such insane accuracy from 25+ yards out. Complete legend!

This was a great watch. When I heard "last question..." I checked the time and it was 51 mins in... felt like I'd only been watching for 10 mins. The way he described Anfield made me tear up lol. Jan left just around the time I started really getting into football and LFC but I love educating myself on the history and the success from before my time. Would have loved to have watched those mid to late 80s teams.

I love how ingratiated into our culture he is, how he embraced our city probably more than any other foreign player in the history of the club. Unbelievable player too, vision and technique was unparalleled. A genius with the ball.

How has Molby not been a major TV pundit? He’s played with Cruyff, Laudrup, Dalglish and speaks with such knowledge. Meanwhile Robbie Savage…..

Wonderful full length interview with the head of the Greeter’s Guild.

This is such a fascinating watch/listen. Thanks for the quality content! YNWA.

Loved watching this dude and also listening to his Scouse accent with a hint of Dane. He was a truly amazing player who could find space and pick a pass in the Chaos that was 1980s Football.

A superb player. Loved watching him stroke the ball around from the midfield.

One of the best passers I have ever seen. Midfield maestro and as Robbie says, LFC royalty.

He was a penalty master that could pass the ball on a sixpence and I love the fact he was able to make a life in the city that he is loved in, he should be talking to the kids about what it takes to be a Liverpool player and how to deal with not being wanted, all the past players have a role in bringing on the future stars, he was a player for us so thank you Jan for all the hard work you gave to the team and I hope maybe one day to see a younger Molby member putting on the red shirt of Liverpool

Our Legend & Icon Jan Molby 🔥

I just can’t believe how someone that is 100% Danish becomes a 100% Scouser! Beautiful to watch Jan play football, a complete Liverpool legend!

Lots of place names on Merseyside are Scandinavian, you know. Huyton, Greasby, Pensby, to name but a few. Even our dish lobscouse is labskaus in reality and gifted to us by the Norwegians. And it is commonplace for Scandinavians to speak excellent English. We are not talking about bloody Chinese or Albanians here, y'know!

Wonderful player, Big Jan. Maestro. The timing of his broken foot is an interesting one. As good as Jan was, I think alongside new signing Barnsey the balance of the midfield was probably better with Whelan and McMahon's partnership in the centre.

Jan , very generous man my brother in law was his minder in 80's , my sister had all his winners medals in her house in Wallasey

Very insightful. Great point from Robbie about the influence of social media and how 84/85, which Jan speaks about in a very measured manner, would have been represented as a disastrous campaign these days.

Tons of stories about the man when he managed Kidderminster Harriers into the league in 1999. Legend.

Proper LFC podcast this one. Not one just massaging Robbies ego,lol. 👍👍👍

I've always liked Jan Molby - the Danish Scouser, he even has the accent! What he said about the city of Liverpool is true - it is the most welcoming place on earth. I've lived my whole life in Derbyshire but as a child from age 3 to 18 I was a patient at Royal Liverpool Children's Hospital, which used to be on the corner of Myrtle Street and Mulberry Street where the art college is now and some of the best memories of my childhood were spent in Liverpool. I love the city, the people - they are so warm and welcoming and such a brilliant sense of humour - and most of all I love Liverpool FC! They may not be doing as well this season, but they're still the best team ever! ❤ YNWA

Be remembered as a player who made a difference, no matter how small, but a difference.

... and now sitting at the top of the 'Greeters Guild' Legend!

Jan was a brilliant player. I remember always wishing he was quicker as he would have been a world beater. On another note, the hybrid Danish/Scouser accent he had in his playing days always made me smile. Now, it's pure scouse! I wonder how Hamman's German/scouse accent is getting on.

Class act on and off of the pitch

Mølby. The King of the center circle. There was Footbal Leauge/ Premier Leauge shown on danish public TV, from 1969-1996, so we followed Liverpool even back then. I'm sure Jan just forgot.

I have over 100 questions for Jan - so many , from his feet, playing pool and his slippers

If people haven't seen it there is a great clip on youtube of Jan doing after dinner speaking and telling the story of Johan Cruyff's last game at Ajax.

I went on a legends tour specifically with Jan. I think he thought I was a stalker because I knew everything about him. Apart from The King he is my favourite player of all time. Legend Jan.

Love ❤

Just noticed Robbie you were left footed predominantly (awesome) yet you write with your right hand! 😂

Love Jan’s Scouse accent!

Did Jan marry a Welsh girl, I wonder? There's an awful lot of 'isn't it?' In his speech pattern, dead Welsh that! He lived or still lives on the Wirral, a yob's golly across the Dee to Wales and Welsh Wales at that....The ball loved the feel of his boot, the man...One of the best midfielders I ever saw and a true lover of the Holy city, too...The Scouse love you big Jan, well, the Red half, anyway.

Gotta laff at everyone being so surprised about a native Scandinavian having an excellent command of English. It is the norm for Scandinavia. Schools in those countries actually teach English the way She should be written and spoken with proper grammar in place. Something we have abandoned in England. They generally have an excellent command of the English language in all Northern European countries, anyway.

@eightiesmusic1984

Precisely. It is a badge of pride to not care about grammar in the UK. Many do not know that they are unable to speak and write properly. Others are aware that they do not speak correctly but do not care anyway. It should be a source of national embarrassment but anything goes in Britain where there are few agreed standards in society any longer. There are many teachers who do not speak properly and cannot spell accurately too. It is no barrier to promotion but it beggars belief that many of those in the education system cannot model the language correctly. The situation has deteriorated markedly in the last twenty years. When I was at school in the eighties every single teacher's written and spoken English was exemplary.

Shocking accent.

Molby was never the best substitute for Graeme Souness. His level is unstable and he does not play consistently in seasons after 86.

Absolute legend

top lad robbie from a great family/families,used to play up front with him for my school.i've ran that claim to fame into the deck over the years haha,you couldn't get the ball off robbie in 2nd year junior he was that good.was doing the doors. years later and me and my dad were working the queens(james st)jan was in there and got a bit angry(more than likely getting wound up by fans)me and my dad intervened "jan just calm down mate,just get yourself going" as he was with alan kennedy."ok i calm down my friend" he was a gent to the end and suprisingly big,he left with alan who was volleyed and normal service resumed.he was one of my idols when i was a kid and it was a weird but rememberable sitch.hope you and the fambo are well rob
