Sadio Mane departs as the greatest of the seven players to have worn the No. 10 shirt for Liverpool in the Premier League era. He joined from Southampton in 2016 and scored 120 goals in 269 games for the Reds, picking up every available major honour in an Anfield career that surpassed the wildest of expectations. John Barnes is a close second, having hit double figures in each of his first four seasons at Liverpool and remaining a crucial part of the club on and off the pitch. Philippe Coutinho and Michael Owen are also remembered fondly for their respective spells at Anfield, while Luis Garcia’s ‘ghost goal’ against Chelsea and iconic song will live long in the memory. Joe Cole and Andriy Voronin had mixed fortunes during their time at Liverpool.
