EPL Talk recently had the chance to interview one of the Liverpool legends, Jan Molby, when he was in New York City to attend an event sponsored by the Liverpool FC New York Supporters Club.

Jan Molby was a legend at Liverpool and played at the club from 1984 to 1996, making more than 211 appearances in the red and white. At the Reds, he won two league titles, two FA Cups and three Charity Shields. Before joining Liverpool, Molby played at Ajax alongside Johan Cruyff.

During the interview, I asked Jan several questions about topics including:

• Why Liverpool is in such poor and inconsistent form this season,
• What it was like to play alongside Johan Cruyff,
• His memories of the first Liverpool FC match he played,
• Whether he sees parallels between the way that Ajax played and how Arsenal play now,
• His memories of that wonderful goal for Liverpool against Manchester United in the 1985 Milk Cup,
• The rivalry between Denmark and Holland – who will be facing each other in World Cup 2010,
• Favorite memories of Kenny Dalglish,
• And much more.

Thanks to the Liverpool FC New York Supporters Club for making the interview possible.

Jan Molby is a player that I have a lot of time for. The Danish footballer was a maestro in midfield. While he’s best remembered as being a pivotal player for Liverpool during his time there between 1984 and 1996, he has a special place in my heart for being a pioneer with the club I support, Swansea City, where he introduced a beautiful style of play as player manager which laid the groundwork for Roberto Martinez’s arrival, much later, in 2007.

Judging by Molby’s artistry on the pitch with Liverpool and Swansea, it’s no surprise then that Molby’s early part of his career included two years playing with Ajax where he won the Dutch Championship in 1983 and played in the Ajax youth academy alongside Marco van Basten, Frank Rijkaard and Jesper Olsen. For those of you who had a chance to watch him play, either in person or on television, there was something magical about the way he played and how adept he was at passing the ball. To see just one example of his skill, watch the video above.

Fortunately for us, Molby will be visiting the United States next month where he’ll be making an appearance in New York City on December 19, 2009 at the 11th Street Bar. Molby will be available to sign autographs and memorabilia, as well as to pose for photographs.
