Liverpool transfer news
The video has been picked up by the Daily Mirror and shows the iconic forward selecting his favourite players from down the generations. However, in a surprise snub, he’s forgotten to include any Liverpool or England players… except of course himself!
Don’t worry Robbie, we still love you anyway! Here’s the XI in full…
GK) Peter Schmeichel
Best known for his eight year stay with Manchester United, which saw him win multiple honours including five Premier League titles and the Champions League. As far as ex-United players go he’s one of the more bearable.
CB) Paolo Maldini
Arguably the greatest player AC Milan ever produced. The veteran of over 900 first-team games and the winner of seven Italian league titles, as well as five Champions Leagues. Scored against the Reds in the 2005 final.
CB) Fernando Hierro
Played over 600 games for Real Madrid before finish his career with Bolton. A goal-scoring defender, he also netted close to 200 goals for club and country during his playing days, which came to an end in 2005.
CB) Fabio Cannavaro
The man who led Italy to the World Cup in 2006. The formidable defender also enjoyed a stellar playing career, starring for the likes of Juventus and Real Madrid. A former Ballon d’Or winner.
RWB) Frank de Boer
Robbie seamlessly teased us with selecting Gary Neville before thankfully ditching the United man in favour of this former Dutch international. The ex-Ajax and Barcelona man is now managing de Godenzonen in the Eredivisie.
LWB) Roberto Carlos
Arguably the most attacking-minded full-back ever, the Brazilian revolutionised the position during his playing days, becoming renowned for his bombarding runs forward and his impossible to stop free-kicks.
CM) Lothar Matthaus
The most capped player in World Cup history and one of the best players in German footballing history. The former Bayern Munich linchpin racked up 150 appearances for his country across a 20-year international career.
CM) Patrick Vieira
The touch-tackling French midfielder whose battles with Roy Keane have become the stuff of legend. The former Arsenal star, who also played for Juventus and Inter Milan, is now a coach at Manchester City.
AM) Luis Figo
Went down in history when he moved from Barcelona to Real Madrid in 2000. In truth, the Portuguese became a legendary figure for both clubs, winning major honours with both clubs, as well as Inter Milan.
ST) Robbie Fowler
The scorer of over 150 league and cup goals during two spells with Liverpool, as well as part of the treble winning team of 2001. Initially left us in 2001 but returned five years later to ensure his legacy at Anfield.
ST) Marco van Basten
Starred for Ajax and AC Milan before being forced to retire in his early 30s. Scored 218 goals in 280 league games for his two clubs, as well as 24 for the Netherlands. Second only to Johan Cruyff in Dutch footballing legacy.
