Liverpool Squad Numbers: The Number 5
This week we focus on the number five shirt, a digit that has been represented all over the field. From Mark Wright, the towering centre-back, not the reality TV “star”, all the way through to a certain Czech striker up top. To fill in the gap between the two, current holder Georginio Wijnaldum has embedded […]

Where Are They Now? – David Ngog
When a footballer is described as a divisive player, it generally refers to the wide polarisation of esteem in which they are held by their club’s supporters. A player who is regarded as a demigod by one fan could be on the ‘I’d drive them to their next club’ list of another. David Ngog, who […]

Season in Review: 2006/07
When a team wins two major trophies in as many seasons, the pressure to maintain that trend can be immense. Most buckle spectacularly under such strain. They will try too hard to ensure that they end the season with silverware and when they inevitably win nothing, the inquests can be harsh. Liverpool were in such […]

Liverpool Squad Numbers: The Number 1
In recent years, Liverpool have struggled to maintain a solid and reliable presence between their sticks.
