Since making my Scottish debut, I always thought I had my first Scotland shirt at home on the wall
Today I took the shirt out of the frame & realised I’ve had Gordon Strachan’s shirt on my wall since 1985
I sat next to him & accidentally picked his shirt up instead of my own 😂
My comment saying in 1991 I signed for the biggest club in British football has triggered
@ManUtd
fans.
I understand why they are all annoyed, football only started in 1992 for them 😂😂😂
Pipe down, any sane footballing person knows
@LFC
over Man Utd!
Really sad to hear
@AVFCOfficial
legend Gary Shaw has passed away.
He was a fantastic footballer who was a worthy winner of club footballs greatest prize.
My thoughts go out to the family and friends of Gary at this difficult time.
Good win for
@LFC
, young Elliott is back, new signing Diaz has shades of Suarez, Thiago is also on the comeback trail
All in all, a fantastic weekend for Klopp and co
I guess beating a Championship team in the cup isn’t for everyone in the 4th round, isn’t that right
@ManUtd
😂
Pep Guardiola: "Liverpool has an incredible history in European competitions - not in the Premier League because they've won one in 30 years.
Someone tell Pep football didn’t just start in 1992, for such an intelligent coach, he’s awfully deluded.
I’m getting lots of mentions in “players we forgot ever played for Liverpool” thread.
Weather it was 1, 100 or a dozen games in my case, I got to play for Liverpool. Not many get that chance.
It’s very sad to see someone’s hard work to achieve dreams being tarnished.
Since who is David Speedie is being searched by
@ManUtd
fans at a rapid rate since yesterday, I thought I’d share the goal I scored on my debut for
@LFC
vs Utd at Old Trafford.
Most Utd won’t remember this as it happened prior to 1992 before “football” started 😊
I feel ashamed of
@ChelseaFC
tonight, I cannot believe the scoreline vs Arsenal.
The whole squad needs changing, we’ve become a big joke, it’s shameful.
I couldn’t care less what people say about this tweet, I love Chelsea and we deserve better.
Get your act together!!!
Here’s another armchair football expert who thinks it’s okay to belittle my career.
How did you get on in your career pal?
Just for the record, playing for Liverpool was an honour, it doesn’t matter how many games I played, I got to play for Liverpool, many don’t.
Lots of salty Man Utd fans on my feed today, not surprised they don’t know who I am as most of them only started supporting
@ManUtd
from 1992 onwards.
@paddykenny17
it’s not just you who Utd fans “love” 😂😂😂
Well done
@SouthamptonFC
I did say earlier Old Trafford was once the Theatre of Dreams, these days it’s The Theatre of Nightmares for the home fans.
@ManUtd
have a clueless manager, a hopeless team and a moaning set of fans!
Long May it continue!
Very sorry to hear legendary Liverpool captain Ron Yeats has passed away.
My thoughts go out to his family and friends at this difficult time.
You’ll Never Walk Alone Ron
It really upsets me seeing my beloved
@ChelseaFC
struggle like this.
Back when I played for this great club, we played for the badge, the fans and we made sure we always gave a 100% for each other.
Sadly the majority of the current lot are overpriced and overpaid primadonnas.
Diogo Jota is a fine example of a modern day transfer and scouting system.
@LFC
have been very shrewd and have turned him into a world class forward all whilst paying Tesco club card transfer fee.
Clearly he’s the best Portuguese player in the Premier League by a country mile.
There’s always a time and place for everything. Sadly this is not that occasion.
Shameful comments from Trevor Sinclair who is desperately trying to stay relevant at a time when our nation and the world is in mourning.
@talkSPORT
it’s time to end his reign.
Really sad to hear Alan Hansen is currently very seriously ill in hospital.
Wishing him a speedy recovery, my thoughts are with Alan and his family at this difficult time.
If anyone can fight back from this, it’s you Alan. Rooting for you pal.
Just come across Jeff Stelling’s comments regarding
@ChelseaFC
& the CWC.
To say they only beat Ali Hilal and no one else to reach the final is disgraceful.
Jeff is deluded, Chelsea beat likes of Atletico, Porto & Real Madrid to enter this competition.
Shameful from Jeff.
Just heard Gary Shaw is still alive but very poorly in hospital.
I’m incredibly sad to see people spread false news and those who know Gary like myself have been very upset.
I was with Gary a couple of months ago in Portugal. He’s a wonderful man and I’m praying he recovers.
Really sad to hear John Hollins has passed away.
Long before the days of big money, social media and billionaire owners, John cemented his place as an all time
@ChelseaFC
legend.
He’ll be missed by everyone who knew him. My thoughts go out to his family & friends.
💙
We may not have been the best, nor the most glamorous, but we always gave our all for
@ChelseaFC
The current lot could learn a thing or two from us lot.
Very sad to hear Trevor Francis has passed away.
My thoughts go out to his family, friends and well wishers at the extremely difficult time.
A truly sad day for the footballing family.
RIP pal.
Devastated to hear Kevin Campbell has passed away.
A brilliant striker who entertained fans leaves being a legacy which will inspire generations to come.
My thoughts go out to all his family and friends at this difficult time.
Lots of people laying into me in the comments, it was never a red
For those calling me all sorts of names, grow up! You all hated me until I joined your team, then you realised what I was all about.
It’s nice to know after all these years I can still wind a certain section up.
Today marks 34 years since The Rumble at Roker Park.
David Speedie leaves one on Gary Bennett, who springs up and chokeslams him into the crowd.
Chaos ensues… before Big Cyrille Regis steams in to restore order.
Bring yer dinner.
Sad to hear former
@England
manager and ex
@ChelseaFC
@SpursOfficial
legend Terry Venables has passed away.
It was an honour for me to wear his legendary no 10 shirt at Chelsea.
He was ahead of his time as manager and never got the credit I felt he deserved.
RIP EL TEL
30 years ago today I started my
@LFC
career. It may have only been a short stay but scoring at Old Trafford and a couple past
@NevilleSouthall
at Anfield will forever remain special.
Scoring vs
@ManUtd
&
@Everton
in same week as a Liverpool player? ☑️
@LivEchoLFC
On this day in 1991, David Speedie signed for Liverpool from Coventry City for £675,000.
But what has always blown my mind is that Speedie is only 30 years old in this photo.
Today was the anniversary of my hat trick
@wembleystadium
for
@ChelseaFC
vs
@ManCity
in the Full Members Cup Final.
I cannot begin to thank everyone for the kind words, memories and photos from that historic day
The love by the Chelsea faithful is unreal, it’s made me emotional
Surprise surprise, Graeme Souness has singled out Kobbie Mainoo for 'not understanding his position' during England's heartbreaking Euro 2024 final defeat by Spain
We’ve been here with Pogba before, Souness is a bully, he should be ashamed of himself.
Leave the lad alone.
Congrats to
@chelsea
on reaching another FA Cup Final.
Once again the boys showed why they are the biggest team in London.
London will always remain blue!
#EmiratesFACup
I was apprehensive when I joined Twitter, along the ways I’ve made mistake as well, that’s human nature
But the outpouring of love & being tagged in so many wonderful memories is just remarkable
My grandkids get shocked when they see my old goals on here.
Grandad was alright 😂
Homeless, broken, down and out…no no! We are Coventry City we do what we like!!!
Get in lads!! What a win!!!! We are going to Wembley! I say we are going to Wembley!
One win away from the Premier League…Believe! Believe! Believe!
Sky Blues WE CAN DO THIS!
#pusb
@Rovers
can we organise a charity game to raise funds for Tony Parkes?
Can you imagine a full Ewood Park, £10 an adult, £1 a child 😍
All proceeds going towards looking after Mr Blackburn, it’s the least we can ALL do for the legend.

Just when I thought the day couldn’t get any worse, I’ve heard the devastating news Chris Bart-Williams has passed away.
My thoughts go out to the family and friends of Chris at this difficult time.
RIP Chris.
Never give up, even when those around you think you can’t reach their level.
I’m often mentioned amongst the worse
@LFC
signings, 6 goals in 14 games, 3 man of the match awards suggest otherwise.
Souness had his own agenda and booted me out, he ruined Liverpool as a manager.
I love this photo from 7th April 1984, it was an honour to play for
@ChelseaFC
, even more so when I shared a dressing room with legends like Kerry Dixon and Joey Jones.
On this day in 1991 I made my
@LFC
debut. My stay at the club wasn’t a long one but I’m proud to have made an impact
I was gutted Kenny left, he was special, Souness came and set the club back 30 years. He single handily destroyed quality squad. Thank god Jürgen put that right.
David Speedie was King Kenny's last signing. Liverpool FC bought him from Coventry City and paid £675,000. On this day in 1991, Speedie scored on his
#LFC
debut in a 1-1 draw with Manchester United at Old Trafford.
I genuinely love
@Rovers
But no one, & I mean no one deserves to see the rubbish we’ve seen tonight.
Losing is part of sport, but a 7-0 defeat at home is nothing short of disgraceful.
Uncle Jack did not build this beautiful club for it to be embarrassed like this.
Fuming 🤬
It was a short stay
@Rovers
but one I thoroughly enjoyed, since joining
@Twitter
the love I’ve been shown by fans of my former clubs has been nothing short of immense. I’m truly humbled to be remembered so fondly even after all these years.
Not a bad home debut for
@LFC
even if I say so myself.
People may mock my stint at Liverpool, but to play at Anfield and wear the famous red shirt was truly special.
14 games and 6 goals; I’ll take that any day of the week.
It was an honour to play for
@kennethdalglish
Regardless of the result, the boys have done everyone proud. 3-0 down to almost winning it with the last kick of the game
Today will go down in history when David almost slayed Goliath.
I will always be proud of
@Coventry_City
HOLD YOUR HEADS UP HIGH BOYS AND BE PROUD
#pusb
I had the honour of becoming a
@Coventry_City
player in July 1987 when manager John Sillett and MD George Curtis signed me, my time at the Sky Blues was very special and to this day Coventry hold a special place in my heart, memories most defiantly last a lifetime.
#PUSB
What a magnificent game between
@ChelseaFC
and
@ManCity
It’s great to see Chelsea show such heart, courage and fighting spirit.
For a second I thought it may end up 5-4, I wonder if these 2 teams have ever had a 5-4?! 🫣😂😂😂
Get in
@Coventry_City
!!!!! What a remarkable comeback!!!
A historic victory against all odds in the FA Cup quarter finals!!!
@wembleystadium
HERE WE COME!
The Sky Blues are soaring as the Wolves are crying!!!
#PUSB
Happy birthday to the King, the one and only
@kennethdalglish
Sir Kenny will always be the greatest footballer to have played for
@ScotlandNT
and
@LFC
Have a great day pal.
Talking of the 92 play-off Final
@wembleystadium
yesterday got me reminiscing, so I decided to dig up my
@Rovers
shirt from that memorable day.
It was a special moment which will live with me forever.
Plastic cup? They earned the right to be there by beating that very same Man City!
Throw in Atlético, Porto and Real Madrid into the mix and you’ll realise it takes a hell of a lot to reach to CWC.
It’s shameful to see the media and so called pundits belittling Chelsea.
Whilst Chelsea were winning that plastic cup and it was lapped up like a World Cup win. Man City were racking up a sixteen point gap on them, in a competition that really matters. Let that sink in.
Really sad to hear
@AVFCOfficial
legend Gary Shaw has passed away.
He was a fantastic footballer who was a worthy winner of club footballs greatest prize.
My thoughts go out to the family and friends of Gary at this difficult time.
I always get a lot of stick from
@LCFC
fans for the play off final
@wembleystadium
against
@Rovers
but I must set the record straight, I really enjoyed pulling on the Leicester shirt and it was an honour to play at Filbert Street.
My debut for
@Coventry_City
at the home of football,
@wembleystadium
My stay at Coventry was special, from the first day till the last, the fans were nothing short of fantastic towards me.
#PUSB
Surely it’s time Venky’s sold
@Rovers
and allowed someone else to take the club forward
They’ve let this club down badly year upon year that they’ve now become a joke and could potentially get related to League 1 if they aren’t careful
Uncle Jack will be turning in his grave
It’ll be a shame if Jon Dahl Tomasson left
@Rovers
, I rate him as a manager, I think he’ll go far in his career.
Sadly he’s been let down by the owners who haven’t financially backed him.
If JDT does leave, I wouldn’t blame him, he’s deserved better.
Venkey’s SELL THE CLUB!
Delighted to have met my former
@ChelseaFC
teammate Paul Canoville after a very long time.
It was an emotional meeting which was long overdue.
We both look forward to an exciting future.
#ChelseaFC
I want to say a MASSIVE thank you to everyone
@Rovers
for an amazing day, it was wonderful to revisit some very special memories, meet former teammates and legends of the club. Also a BIG shoutout to the
@Coventry_City
fans who joined in giving me a warm reception at half time.
Sometimes I look back on these old clips and it makes me realise how lucky I was to have the career I had.
It’s nice to see I scored the odd goal or two along the way as well. This one wasn’t too shabby
Happy birthday to my former club
@Coventry_City
It was a privilege and honour to wear the sky blue shirt, playing over 120 league games during my 4 year stay at Highfield Road. Proud to have played a small part in the history of this amazing club
Here’s to another 138 years!!
On this day in 1987 I made my debut for
@Coventry_City
My time with the Sky Blues was nothing short of fantastic.
Thank you to all my team mates, fans and managers for giving me memories to last a lifetime.
#PUSB
Wearing the no 10 shirt
@ChelseaFC
was an honour for me, many great names have worn that shirt, but for me
@hazardeden10
was the greatest to have worn the iconic no 10 shirt
Thank you for the wonderful memories, the Chelsea faithful will never forget what you did.
#EdenHazard
I’m Scottish and proud but there’s no way on gods green earth Josh Taylor won that fight.
If that’s not match fixing, then I don’t know anything.
British boxing, whoever was in charge should be ashamed of themselves.
Flipping disgraceful
#TaylorCatterall
From the moment I arrived at
@Coventry_City
when John uttered the words “For too long this Club has shopped at Woolworth’s, from now on we’ll be shopping at Harrods.’ Till the day I left, the City fans where unbelievable to me.
I miss those amazing days.
This was one of the best days of my career. I was humbled to become the first senior player to score a Wembley cup final hat trick since Sir Geoff Hurst did it in 1966.
I may not have won much silverware but I’m incredibly proud of my career.
Thank you for all the support.

Saddened to hear Gianluca Vialli has passed away.
He was a fantastic footballer who made a lasting impact on the game.
His stint as a player & manager
@ChelseaFC
was beyond special. He was a pioneer for the blues.
My thoughts go out to his family and friends.
#GianlucaVialli
Since I joined Twitter, I’ve been lucky to relive many special moments from my career.
Scoring at the bridge was always special and playing for
@ChelseaFC
was an honour.
Shot Of The Day.
On a half frozen pitch covered in sand and straw, David Speedie snatches a dramatic equaliser for Chelsea in the 88th minute of the game against Arsenal at Stamford Bridge on 19th January 1985. The goal secures a point in the 1-1 draw.
#CFCHeritage
I’m 30 away from 10,000 followers.
Whoever’s my ten thousandth follower, I’ll send them a signed limited edition Speedie 7 Liverpool poster.
This has been done in collaboration with
@memorabiliaicon
A few years ago I made a Twitter account (I won’t reveal which one, it wasn’t this) I had no clue how to use it and I had a grand total of 8 followers.
The fact I’m now 80 away from five thousands is remarkable. I thank each and every single one of you for being so kind to me.
I’ve worn some amazing and some not so amazing designed shirts in my career.
But this
@hummel1923
@Coventry_City
shirt ranks amongst my absolute favourites.
It’s genuinely a thing of beauty in my opinion.
“For too long this Club has shopped at Woolworth’s, from now on we’ll be shopping at Harrods.”
John just knew what to say & when. My time with
@Coventry_City
was special because of him & his incredible love for the club.
Once a Sky Blue, always a Sky Blue.
I’ll miss you John.
Sad to hear one of the games all time greats Franz Beckenbauer has passed away.
Der Kaiser was ahead of his time, he changed the way the we played football.
He leaves behind a legacy many of can only dream about having as a footballer.
RIP Franz Beckenbauer
This is the only photo I found of myself playing football which looked all Christmasy.
I do like that
@ChelseaFC
shirt!!
Hope everyone had a good day yesterday.
Stay safe
It was great to catch up with
@LUFC
legend Paul Reaney this afternoon.
People talk about club legends, this man is a real Leeds United legend.
I spent many an hour watching him and his iconic team at Elland Road in my youth.
I just don’t get what’s going on with
@ChelseaFC
I understand it’s a new owner. manager and a squad but these results are unacceptable.
This season is a total nightmare, I worry what will happen from now till the end of the season.
I feel sorry for genuine Chelsea fans.
I might have been forth or fifth choice for
@Rovers
but it become a dream for us both.
That one season at Ewood was truly magical.
It makes me smile to this very day.
Not On This Day:
In the summer of 1991 lowly Blackburn enquired about a certain Gary Lineker...spurs didn't think they were serious and were in for a shock
Uncle Jack's boys were just getting started
They landed David Speedie
Nice suit
@WelsbyElton
What a win!
@Rovers
I think it’s time everyone added Diaz to their name!! What a brilliant hat trick from a fantastic player. 5 goals, 3 points and one very happy ex Rovers striker!
So it’s the David Speedie League Cup Final on the weekend. Who do you think will win?
RT for

Like for
@ChelseaFC
I’ll give you my prediction just before kick off!
The highlight of my career, scoring a hat trick in a

Very sorry to hear legendary commentator John Motson has passed away.
He was wonderful behind the mic and leaves behind a legacy which will live on forever through his iconic voice & words.
My thoughts go out to his family & friends.
#RIPMotty
Plenty of fighting spirit shown by
@WestHam
today
I only spent a short time at the club but as always when I stepped on to the pitch I gave it my all
The hammers have amazing quality in their squad and I’m confident they’ll be fighting for European places come end of the season
