I come from a family of teasers myself. My grandfather was from Liverpool, and he had a dry sense of humor, and he would tease us terribly. My brother Beau was so skilled in his teasing that he could get a rise out of me by simply pointing at me.
33

82
83

The only thing I regret is not winning the Premier League with Liverpool. I’ll never know how that feels and experience the reaction of the city, as I did after Istanbul. It hurts because I know the people want the league title more than anything.

114
115
116
As a performing group, the Beatles began by playing old rock favorites, for dancing, to tough audiences in Liverpool and Hamburg. When they began writing seriously, they discovered that they couldn’t compose in the early American rock tradition.

127
Liverpool are one of the greats in Europe, and being able to be part of the history of such a great club is gratifying to me.
128
129
130
131
When I think of how special Anfield is and how special Liverpool is, everywhere around the world everyone is talking about Liverpool, it is because of the fan base.
132
I guess, as a young girl growing up in Liverpool in the ’80s, when unemployment was high, my ideal job would have been to have been Minister for Employment to see, can you solve these problems? Can you get people into work?
133
There are times when I watch Jurgen Klopp leaping around after Liverpool have scored and I think to myself: ‘I wish that was me.’
134
For me, I can’t see Liverpool without him because he’s just been there since I was a kid. I had him on the back of my shirt. He’s always been on the team every time I’ve watched Liverpool. It’s going to be really weird next season, a Steven Gerrard-less Liverpool side.
135
136

143
144
145
For me, there is only one club in England, and that’s Liverpool.
146

159
160
I joined Liverpool in 1978. I was the record signing between English clubs.
161

162
My best Champions League moment was when Milan won in 2007 against Liverpool. That was the biggest moment for me in the Champions League.

170

Liverpool will always be a very special place to me.
172
173
174
Liverpool stands for unity, Liverpool stands for ‘all together.’
175
Alisson arrives at Liverpool with much more experience than De Gea had when he first went to United so I don’t think there will be anyone out there who doesn’t feel Alisson shouldn’t be here.
176
177
178
I’d like Everton to be known as the better team in Liverpool.
179
My feeling for Liverpool does not mean I’m tied to them.
180
181
182
183
Everyone that plays for Liverpool always stays in the Liverpool family.

I am feeling comfortable at Liverpool, and I think that’s important.
186
187

Liverpool, Manchester, Newcastle and Leeds have successful financial services sectors. There are good universities there which provide great opportunities for local technological innovation. And there are strong multinational and family businesses.

201
202
I am interested in how much and how quickly Klopp, the manager that I know, can change the team at Liverpool.
203
Of course it’s a big change from Stoke to Liverpool. Liverpool is a big, big team.
204
Moving to Liverpool was a new world for me. I had been living with my parents in Holland, and all of a sudden I was living in a foreign country on my own.
205
For me, Raheem Sterling is a fantastic player, and he’s been brilliant for England. I hope he will stay at Liverpool.
206
207

208
209

210

212
To be the first Belgian to play for Liverpool is a big thing.
213

214
215
I think Marseille is probably a place like Liverpool, very vibrant and very tough.
216

Chelsea gave me what I was looking for when I left Liverpool trophies. I’ll always see it as a success.
218
219
The big teams will want to avoid Liverpool. Everyone knows we are a very strong side.
220
Liverpool are known for this ‘rock and roll‘ football. I think I’ve adapted well to this even if, as a player, I like to hold onto the ball longer.
221
Playing for Boston Bulldogs in front of 700 to 800 fans was obviously different from playing for Liverpool in front of the Kop and 40,000 passionate Reds.
222
I don’t want to be the one that says Liverpool can go on and win the league. But there’s a real belief and togetherness in the squad; we’re all working for each other. We all know what the dream is at the end of it.
223
We were at our best when we were playing in the dance halls of Liverpool and Hamburg. The world never saw that.
224
225
It definitely isn’t true that I supported Liverpool.
226
I left in Liverpool a lot of friends. I have a very good relationship with all of them.
227
Liverpool midfielder Xabi Alonso was always bemused by our enthusiasm for tackling, because he saw it as the last resort.

229
Fear is not something we feel at Liverpool.
230
I was raised in inner-city Liverpool, the first in my family to go to university.
231
232
Liverpool will always be my home.
233
The problem I had with Raheem Sterling when he left Liverpool was not the fact that he was leaving Liverpool. Any professional footballer wants to go to where they think they’re going to win things, where the money is and everything else and that was Manchester City.
234
This is Liverpool, we will always come back when it’s tough.
235
236
I remember when we were playing Liverpool away from home and we recorded one shot in the whole match. That’s not Man United. You want people go out and express themselves.

238
As a kid, Liverpool was big for us.
239
240
I have always felt like a Liverpool player.
241
242
It is something you can’t quite explain unless you have experienced it. There is that difference when you pull on a Liverpool shirt.
243
244
When I am out in Liverpool, the fans come up and talk to me. But I cannot take in everything they say because I don’t understand all of it.
245
A good thing for footballers is not to think too much, especially when you’ve got to move to a big team like Liverpool, because that’s when you start to confuse your mind.
246
247
248
249
I got racist abuse at Liverpool when I played for Watford. Then I played for Liverpool and didn’t get it. If I had played for Everton against Liverpool then maybe the Liverpool fans would have racially abused me.
250
Mainly it’s the parents who remember me. But the kids today, what they do is go and Google you. A lot of them turn up and they know everything about me. They say: ‘You scored 346 goals‘ or ‘You wore the No9 shirt for Liverpool.’
251
252
I lived three unforgettable years with Liverpool. I will always be grateful for everything to the club and, especially, the fans. From day one, they behaved impeccably and were amazing.
253
My time in England is where I have felt truly like a footballer, and I have put my name among the best players. I’m very proud to have played almost 400 games with Liverpool.
254
255
256
It’s hard to pick out a single team, because there are so many big games here in the Premier League, obviously there are the top teams like Liverpool, City, Chelsea, I think those big games, the ‘big six‘ are always good. We always look forward to them, we all want to be on the pitch and to win them.
257
Liverpool are a team that have no fear.
258
I want to be remembered as a Liverpool player who was part of something special.
259
The Liverpool lad Darren Till looked unbelievable in his UFC debut, and he seems like quite a character.
260
261
262
I left Liverpool during the 1993-94 season to join Notts County as a player-coach under Howard Kendall.
263
264
I have always loved broadcasting – as a child in Liverpool, I would wake up and listen to Morning Merseyside on BBC Radio Merseyside and wonder, ‘How do they do that?’
265
I was born and brought up in Liverpool with my clever little sister Jemma, who is 14 and wants to be a vet. My mum Jane is an administrator and my dad Peter is a taxi driver.
266
267
268
269
Without being disrespectful to Leverkusen, playing for Liverpool helps me more because I am playing for one of the biggest clubs in the world, and I have no regrets making this step.
270
I remember my last game for Newcastle in the pre-season, when their fans were singing that they wanted me to stay, but when the opportunity came to play for a great club like Liverpool with such a great history, I had to take it. I hope they understand why I made that choice to go to Liverpool.
271
I always thought about working in England because of the kind of football, the intensity of football. Liverpool was first choice.
272
We can do what we love to do and also to play for Liverpool – they are such a big club. You need to enjoy it but the pressure will always be there.
273
Oh it kills me to see Liverpool lose.
274
275
Yes, there is a lot of competition for places at Liverpool but that’s the same at every top club. It was like that when I was at Ajax and that isn’t a problem for me.
276
277
But Liverpool is a big club, and expectations are high, so it is normal that you are going to be criticised.
278
279
280
I love playing for Liverpool FC. The fans are excellent and fantastic in how they support us all the way. They support us throughout the games, and the work they do during the match is beautiful.
281
In Liverpool, where I live, we have a brilliant library which has been refurbished, and I like going there.
282
When West End Girls came out on import, I was a student at Liverpool University. I’d go to a club in Liverpool and it would come on, and I’d be really embarrassed.
283
I never thought being a Liverpool player would be easy.
284
285
If not the biggest, the Premier League is one of the biggest leagues in the world. It’s very competitive, and I find that exciting. I like challenges. I came here because it will be a great challenge for me at a very high level of football and be among these great players in a great team like Liverpool.
286
287
Obviously, it was an amazing feeling to play for Liverpool for the first time. It was a little bit funny to be playing against Sunderland, but it is still an amazing feeling every time I put on the Liverpool shirt.
288
Liverpool is a great club and I always enjoyed playing at Anfield because the fans are so passionate.
289
When you’re at a big team like Liverpool, you can’t expect to start every game.
290
If you play for Liverpool, for such a big club, it is always the target: it has to be always to win silverware.
291
To work with Brendan Rodgers and the players at Liverpool is an unbelievable dream come true for me, really.
292
I moved to Liverpool in 2012, and they were really ambitious, bringing in top players. In 2013, we beat Arsenal – who seemed invincible – 4-0. It was the shock of the century.
293
The power of Liverpool Football Club is the collective. We always do everything together; this is our power.
294
When I knew I had the chance to play for Liverpool I couldn’t refuse it.
295
Why Galatasaray and not Liverpool? Because I am a winner – I play for prizes – so I went to Galatasaray because I thought that I would win more at Galatasaray and be champion than at Liverpool, and I think afterwards that I made the right choice.
