Ranking Liverpool’s Premier League No.9s – with Benteke its new owner, including the odious El Hadji Diouf

2) Fernando Torres

‘El Nino’ has largely been forgiven for leaving Liverpool to join Chelsea in 2011, as it’s now widely accepted that we enjoyed Torres’s best years and actually got the better of the £50m deal. During his first three seasons, Torres had a rightful claim to the title of ‘world’s best striker’. 81 goals in 142 games see him go down as one of our most dangerous every strikers, best remembered for his lethal partnership with a peak Steven Gerrard during the 2008/09 title pursuit.

1) Robbie Fowler

Our highest ever Premier League goalscorer, Fowler was the automatic choice for top spot in the list. Fowler’s instinctive finishing and wonderful attacking movement saw him score 120 Premier League goals during his first Liverpool spell, before adding another eight in a second after Rafa Benitez romantically brought him back to Anfield in 2006. We can only hope Christian Benteke can do even half as well in a Liverpool shirt as the man known on the Kop as ‘God’.
