such a shame rob jones had to retire so early due to injury. if he'd stayed fit gary neville would have about 50 less england caps than he actually has :angry:

We signed him from 4th division Crewe, in his first season with us he was picked for England.

A great prospect, career blighted by injuries but when fit one of the best FB's around.

Had to retire at only 27

A brief reminder Liverpool v Leeds 1993

What is wrong with some people on here.

Firstly 20 years ago = 1991, that means forget about Barnes, Beardsley and Souness (FFS

)
Secondly you cannot include homegrown players as "brought in"

My pick of the top ten best signings since 2001 -

Redknapp - A Dalglish signing in 1991, club captain, great player but unlucky with injury. Lower league signing (Bournmouth) to international regular.

Hyypia - Arguably the best centre back we have had in the last 20 years

McCallister - Such an impact in such a short time frame, performed a role that essentially allowed Gerrard to develop into the player he is today.

Murphy - Another lower league signing (Crewe) that became a firm favourite with the Anfield faithful. Fans player of the season twice over Gerrard.

Hamann - Single handedly changed the game in Instanbul allowing Gerrard the freedom to influence as he did best. Maybe Lucas can become the same reliable player?

Alonso - Nothing needs to be said.

Reina - Until Reina we went from calamity to calamity with keepers.

Kuyt - Took a couple of years to get the player we recognise today. Workhorse, gives everything.

Torres - I despise him for the way he left. Regardless he set Anfield alight with his 81 goals in such a short timeframe.

Suarez - Setting the club alight alot like Torres did. No one though we get better than Keegan until Dalglish came in. Lets hope history repeats itself.

Semantics mate, I focused on the best buys and most difficult to replace.

Nothing to do with semantics, the remit was "brought in".

I agree with SCS, I won't include homegrown in my list

Not in particular order:

Gary Mac
Luis Garcia
Hamann
Alonso
Hyypia
Torres
Suarez
Reina
Riise
Mascherano

If we limit it to the last 20years, my list would look something like this:

1- Hyypia
2- Torres
3- Alonso
4- McAllister
5- Hamann
6- Litmanen
7- Luis Garcia
8- D.Murphy
9- Redknapp
10- F.Aurelio (funny one because hes not as good as the others on the list (neither is Garcia arguably) but im a huge fan of his)

6- Litmanen

A no doubt skillfull player who in the autumn of his career played less than 50 games for Liverpool and you have him as one of your faves

I guess Pete Best was also one of your favourite Beatles

Its not about appearances or skill though is it ? All about your favorite players and for me he was a joy to watch..

Personally cant understand the inclusion of Enrique and even Suarez given the fact that they've only been at the club a few months but there you go...

Yeah OK, I get your point but what about Pete Best ?

Markus Babbel would have been another one if he hadn't got that mystery illness. He was immense in the treble season. Nearly got double figures from fullback. Free aswell.
