Top players of all time
1. Steven Gerrard
Steven Gerrard is widely regarded as one of the greatest Liverpool players of all time. He spent his entire playing career at the club and made a total of 504 appearances, scoring 120 goals for the team. The Academy graduate’s leadership, passion and commitment to the team was unparalleled, and he had a huge influence both on and off the pitch.
The ex-England international has enjoyed mixed success in his managerial career, following up a Scottish Premiership title with a sacking at Aston Villa.
2. Alisson Becker
Arguably Liverpool’s most consistent player of the Jurgen Klopp regime, the Brazilian was seen as one of the ‘final pieces of the puzzle’ alongside Dutch colossus Virgil van Dijk.
The signing of a world-class ‘keeper genuinely catapulted the club to the next level, leading to a period of domestic and European dominance as the Reds lifted both the league title and Champions League (amongst a host of other silverware) in two years.
3. John Barnes
Considered one of the greatest English footballers of all time, John Barnes was already a seasoned international by the time of his arrival at Anfield.
The former Watford man’s exploits in London caught the eye of Kenny Dalglish’s Liverpool side, joining alongside Peter Beardsley and quickly established himself as a key component.
The 59-year-old secured two league titles and as many FA Cups during his time at L4, amongst a host of personal awards.

4. Virgil Van Dijk
Virgil Van Dijk is a Dutch defender who has been a key member of the Liverpool squad since his arrival in January 2018. He has been instrumental in helping the team to win the Champions League, Premier League and FIFA Club World Cup. Van Dijk is known for his leadership, composure and defensive ability, and he has quickly become one of the best defenders in the world.
5. Kenny Dalglish
Kenny Dalglish is undoubtedly one of the greatest players of all time. He is a Liverpool legend, and has had a massive impact on the club in his time as both a player and a manager. Dalglish was an integral part of the team during the club’s most successful era, winning six league titles, four League Cups and three European Cups. He was an inspirational leader, both on and off the field, and his passion for the club was evident for all to see.
6. Fernando Torres
Fernando Torres was a great success for Liverpool Football Club. During his time at Anfield, El Nino scored 81 goals in 142 appearances, making him one of the most prolific strikers in Liverpool’s history. He was a key player during the club’s run to the Champions League final in 2008, and was named the Premier League Player of the Year in the same year. Torres’ tireless running and goalscoring ability made him a fan favourite, and his legacy at Liverpool will never be forgotten.
7. Ian Rush
One of the greatest goalscorers to have ever graced the pitch in the famous red shirt. Ian Rush amassed a stunning 346 goals in 660 matches for the club from the early 80s to the late 90s – a record that still stands today despite the ongoing best efforts of Mo Salah.
