Daniel Agger's thunderbolt on Saturday brought back memories of Jimmy Case and Graeme Souness in their pomp. But by the end, Kopites were comparing the young Dane to a very different Liverpool legend.

Agger's coolness in bringing the ball out of defence was reminiscent of Alan Hansen in his prime. The unflappable 'Jocky' launched many a Liverpool attack with his forays from centre-half and Agger had that same look about him in the West Ham match.
