Following yet more heroics from Blackburn Rovers goalkeeper Brad Friedel against Liverpool on Boxing Day Mark Hughes has heaped praise on the American; ranking him up with the best.

Having been beaten six times (none down to Friedel I must add!) in the 6-2 thrashing from Arsenal just before Christmas the team and Friedel in particular responded fantastically during the 1-0 win over Liverpool. The former Liverpool goalkeeper put in an inspired display as he once again showed his former employers how wrong they were to write him off and discard him as they did.

Hughes has since rightfully praised Friedel, rating him alongside the very best he was fortunate to play with himself during his playing days, including the legendary Peter Schmeichel! The don’t get much better than the Great Dane do they? Sparky said:

I don’t think Brad has ever conceded six in his career so professional pride comes into it and it was a situation were we all needed to address that.

But you know to expect that from Brad.

He’s very much at the top end of all the keepers I was fortunate to play with including Peter Schmeichel. He is among that quality of keepers.”

An absolute legend, long may the reign of Bradley Friedel in the Rovers net continue. It will be a sad day when Bradders finally does hang up his gloves…
