Ireland – Steve Heighway
It’s actually been strangely long since we’ve had a great Irish player. Mark Lawrenson, John Aldridge and Ray Houghton were among the other candidates here. We’ve gone with the midfielder, who played almost 500 times.
Israel – Yossi Benayoun
Proved himself to be an extremely astute signing, playing 134 times in all competitions and scoring 29 goals after joining us from West Ham United in 2007. He’d go on to play for both Arsenal and Chelsea as well.
Mali – Djimi Traore
Something of a cult figure at Liverpool, having helped us win the Champions League in 2005. It’s probably fair to say that he wasn’t the best player we’ve ever had but at the same time he retains a special place in our hearts.
Netherlands – Dirk Kuyt
Another all-time favourite at Anfield. Kuyt’s work-rate made up for his lack of goals, although to be fair he got plenty of those during his time with us – 71 in fact during his 285 games. He’s well ahead of Ryan Babel anyway!
