1) Dirk Kuyt
Another player who didn’t score as many as was hoped for ahead of his arrival, but won over many fans due to his work-rate and tendency to produce on the big occasion. The popular Dutchman scored 71 goals in 286 games for the Reds – only once failing to reach double figures – and proved a versatile option across a number of forward positions. Left us for Fenerbahce in the summer of 2012, but remains a key figure of our modern era success.
