Rating the 14 players to wear Liverpool’s iconic no.7 shirt: from Kevin Keegan to James Milner

Posted by

John Aldridge

Another Anfield favourite. He was signed to replace Ian Rush and did a very decent job of it as well – although thankfully Rush returned to the club following a year with Juventus. Aldridge scored 50 goals in 83 league games for the Reds, winning the first division and the FA Cup.

Number Seven Rating: 8/10

Peter Beardsley

A genius of a player in a similar mould to Dalglish. He linked up perfectly with Aldridge and John Barnes during his time at the club, as part of what was our last truly world class team. He scored 46 goals in 131 league games before eventually joining Merseyside rivals Everton in 1991.

Number Seven Rating: 8/10

David Speedie

Worked hard but lacked the quality to be a big hit at Anfield. He still managed six goals in just 12 top flight appearances and netted against both Everton and Manchester United, but Graeme Souness soon took over as manager and sold him to Blackburn Rovers.

Number Seven Rating: 6/10
