4. Pepe Reina – Having just reached his 100th clean sheet in record time, this man needs no introductions to Reds fans. Well on the way to becoming our greatest ever ‘keeper (after hardly 5 years at the club), Reina has cemented himself as a Liverpool legend in the flesh. As a modern goalkeeper, he has the lot: handling, agility, strength in the air, the ability to dominate his box and distribution that any Barca player would be proud of. If there’s a Liverpool fan who doesn’t think that Reina is the best in the world then frankly, you’re an idiot. Pepe’ greatest moment (so far) has to be his FA Cup final penalty heroics.

Top read.
Hyppia was bought in 99 right?
yes, both Hyypia and Hamann were bought in the summer of 99 so i’m not sure what the writer is using as his criteria for the last decade
With those 2 removed Alonso has to be in the list. Then take your pick out of Masch, Finnan, Riise, Garcia or Poulsen
poulsen..ha ha ha…
might top the list for “one of the worst players to play professional football”..
So – what’s in a year eh! Let’s make it the last 11 years then. I can forgive the writer for that. Can’t forgive you for putting Poulsen in your list! (unless it was a joke). I can’t really think of Finnan as a foreign import either.
whr’s mascherano???
alonso..??
who are your favourites Stan? – I think a lot depends on age as well. I’m in my 50’s so Molby high on my list. Got to agree on Hyppia though.
Enjoyed this. Sami also my favourite “import” for all the reasons you’ve mentioned. @stan asks “whr’s mascherano” and we all, depending on our age, will have different opinions. Masch probably went down in the estimation of many fans because of the way he left.
Nice read this. Well done! I agree with all your mentions mate. All great buys and good servants to the club esp Hyypia…I would have put him number 1 myself.
sure, the way masch left was not right but when he did play, he was usually the most effective player on the pitch…and i still think he is one of the best, if nt the best defensive midfielder in the world..
Alvaro Arbeloa was a good signing but when it comes to the top five then he should make way for John Riise or Alonso.
