The perfect Liverpool squad – with each number’s greatest owner – Rush and Fowler battle for 9

Posted by

11) Robbie Fowler

He missed out on the number nine shirt, but thankfully we’ve still managed to sneak Fowler into our squad. He didn’t have much competition for this one, with Jamie Redknapp and Maxi Rodriguez is strongest challengers.

12) Ronnie Whelan

Dani Pacheco and Victor Moses are the two most recent owners of this shirt number. We’ve had to go back to the very start of the Premier League era for a suitable candidate, with the veteran midfielder getting the nod.

13) Danny Murphy

Six players have tried the unlucky number in the Premier League era, the last of which was Anthony Le Tallec. While the Frenchman struggled to impress, Murphy had plenty of fine moments in a Liverpool shirt.

14) Xabi Alonso

A tough one this. Jordan Henderson has done a lot for us in recent years to suggest that he deserves to keep his number, but it’s hard to forget the magic that Alonso brought to Anfield, something that’s still sorely missed.

15) Daniel Sturridge

Sturridge took the number vacated by  Yossi Benayoun and has certainly had a superb impact on Merseyside – scoring 40 goals in his first two-and-a-half years with us. How many more could it have been if he’d stayed fit?
