This link contains a video tribute to Ronnie Moran.
Between 8 and 9 minutes (IIRC) there's an interesting comment by Ian Rush on why Hodgy wasn't a success at Liverpool:

He didn't score very often did he? About one in ten but won three trophies in his first season at Anfield!

Re: Why Hodgy didn't make it at Liverpool
For lazy gits like me - what did Rushy say?
I do recall someone saying LFC didn't think Hodgy was fit enough when he signed so he was made to jog / run to the training ground

Basically that Ronnie Moran used to take the piss out of him and Hodgson couldn't take it and one day snapped - after that he was never accepted in the dressing room.

Quakerz - if you actually attended games and spoke to people you might actually find our facts, rather than spreading s*** on this board.

Ta. I wonder if the p-ss taking was about his weight / fitness...(sorry, I'll stop being lazy and watch the interview)

I thought it was that Moran "bullied" him or was on his back pressurising him ( as he seemingly did to others) rather than taking the p*ss out of him

Hodgy was standing up to Ronnie Moran, Hodgy will always stand his ground as he always has, if he beleived he was being made fool of.
