Around the world in 22 Liverpool players – picking the best of the best from Argentina to Zimbabwe

Posted by

South Africa – Barry Nieuwenhuys

You have to go back to before the Second World War to remember this South African star. He played 239 league games for the Reds, scoring 74 times. He died in 1984 at the age of 72, almost 40 years after his final appearance.

Spain – Xabi Alonso

One of our best players in the modern era. His midfield partnership with Gerrard is one that will always be fondly remembered. He scored the equaliser in Istanbul and made 210 appearances before joining Real Madrid in 2009.

Switzerland – Stephane Henchoz

The full-back remained with Liverpool from 1999 until 2005, leaving just six months before our Champions League triumph. He lost his place in the side after the emergence of Jamie Carragher and never returned.

Alonso is in a class of his own
