It was at a gym near Liverpool Street. I came off the street – I was just a kid – and I was just excited about getting to punch someone in the face.

Dillian Whyte

When a big player leaves, a big player leaves. You’re at a big club like Liverpool, another big player will come in the future.

John W. Henry

I knew about boxing, as my dad could fight. He had a successful security firm in Liverpool, and I’d see him come back from a jog before shadow boxing in the back yard. I’d watch and replicate what he was doing, as kids do. It’s funny how things turn out.

Tony Bellew

I’ve always liked Liverpool. I’d play a lot of video games, and I’d be them, because they played in red, like Independiente, my first club, Arsenal, or Chelsea.

Sergio Aguero

I’m not going to another club to hurt Liverpool.

Luis Suarez

Liverpool are a very good team everybody knows that and I am proud to be part of Liverpool.

Jurgen Klopp

Sadio Mane is an excellent player. Before I came to Liverpool, I saw him on TV, and I liked him a lot.

When I went in to Liverpool, my job in the first season was to cut the budget. You only need to look at the players who left. Maxi Rodriguez, Alberto Aquilani, Pepe Reina.

Brendan Rodgers

It was important for me, when I left a club like Liverpool, to one, have a breather, but then my next job, I needed pressure. And there’s a pressure at Celtic. It’s a huge club; there’s an expectancy to win every game.

Brendan Rodgers

We play for Liverpool. It is always our intention to win. All the players here want to compete at the top and win. The manager does not have to say to us, ‘We want to win a trophy.’

Jurgen Klopp

My family was going back to England to visit my mother‘s grandmother, who was very ill. We went up to Liverpool and I met my great-aunt, who was just a force of nature. She was an elocution teacher and a huge enthusiast for theater and the classics. I took her amateur acting class, and she was really impressed with me.

Kim Cattrall

The coaching staff expected us to show up on time, give it our all and leave nothing out there. By all means play hard but work harder. That was part of the Liverpool Way.

Steve Nicol

At Brondby, we had Daniel Agger, who came up from the youth. He had two years in the team, and then we sold him to Liverpool for nearly £7 million, which is a lot of money in Denmark. As a manager, that gives you even greater satisfaction that winning something as a player.

Michael Laudrup

Not playing for Liverpool would hurt me more than not playing for England.

Jamie Carragher

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.

Jeff Bridges

Divock Origi isn’t going to win Liverpool leagues, no disrespect. If he was better than Mohamed Salah or Roberto Firmino, he’d be playing every week.

My family are too grounded, and I will go home to visit. I always need my dose of Liverpool to keep me grounded.

I gave 100 per cent, 100 per cent of the time I played for Liverpool. Five years, I did everything I could possibly do. I love this club, but it is time for a new adventure.

Philippe Coutinho

I had the best three years of my career at Liverpool.

Fernando Torres

The only thing I want is the respect of the fans of Liverpool and the fans of the national team of Uruguay.

Luis Suarez

It’s a different playing style than at Monaco; there were two of us in midfield there, and here at Liverpool, there’s three.

Fabinho

In Brazil, the one who wears 10 constructs the attacks. That is what I will try to do here. The number I have at Liverpool does not give me any added pressure. The pressure I have is to play well and do my best for the team. I know that I am representing a huge club, and I want to enjoy my football.

Philippe Coutinho

Liverpool is a club with a big, big, big history, and all the clubs in the world have a big history if the present is not too successful. If you have never had success, then nobody knows how it is, but in Liverpool, everybody knows how it was.

Jurgen Klopp

You want to be able to look back and feel you were part of Liverpool’s great history – win something here, and they will always remember you.

Georginio Wijnaldum

From the moment I first spoke with him, I knew that I wanted to join Liverpool. I fell for Klopp – hook, line, and sinker.

Georginio Wijnaldum

My game is characterised by consistency, and that is what has brought me to Liverpool and helped me grow and develop. I like to make simple saves. I don’t make saves for the camera.

Alisson

I want to thank the Arsenal fans who’ve always supported me. But I can’t apologise for my decision to leave. I want to get more out of myself. I felt the main thing was taking myself out of my comfort zone. That’s why Liverpool shouted out for me.

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain

When I was 11, I was invited to be a ballboy at Stamford Bridge when Chelsea played Liverpool. I was a Liverpool fan, so I was gutted that they lost 2-0. Afterwards, I was introduced to the players – I found it terrifying.

Theo Walcott

From the first time I saw them, I knew they weren’t just five dirty little boys from Liverpool without an education.

Astrid Kirchherr

Football-wise, I help with my 12-year-old and his team, and I play football on a Friday with my mates and that’s about it. I always look out for results at Rovers and Southampton mainly, and I go and watch Liverpool when I can.

Liverpool has always made me brave, choice-wise. It was never a city that criticised anyone for taking a chance.

Finishing in the top four for Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea and Man United was easier before, but now it’s getting much more difficult with the emergence of teams like Manchester City.

Danny Ings

Since I signed for Liverpool, my dad has spoken to me a lot about how much he loved them.

When I was small, my local team actually played in Liverpool kits.

Conor Coady

A club like Liverpool has to be involved in Europe, whether it is the Europa League or Champions League.

Pepe Reina

When Jurgen Klopp came to Liverpool I was ecstatic. I knew his pedigree and what he did at Borussia Dortmund. What a job he did there.

Bruce Grobbelaar

We have to go into every game with the same mentality as we have for Liverpool. It can be different playing against Burnley to Liverpool. I understand for the fans it’s different but, for us, it can’t be because the result we want is the same and nothing else.

Bruno Fernandes

Liverpool followed me for a long time. When I arrived in the offices there, they showed me cassettes of me in the Under-15s. Everyone knew me. I couldn’t believe it.

Divock Origi

As a Liverpool boy, it is impossible not to think of the Beatles‘ question, ‘Will you still need me when I’m 64?’

Simon Rattle

It’s not easy when you lose Flamini, Hleb, Senderos, Gilberto, and Lehmann. When you lose all these players – and Flamini, for me, was the best player last year – it’s really difficult to compete against Chelsea, Man United, or Liverpool.

Patrick Vieira

Liverpool had a lot of success under Rafa Benitez, and that is difficult for anyone to follow.

Fernando Torres

Liverpool FC is a great club, and the fans are amongst the best in the world.

Ilkay Gundogan

Liverpool give young players a good opportunity.

Brendan Rodgers

Liverpool and London are two places I looked upon as home.

Pete Doherty

Liverpool is no different to any other city in the country for footballers. If you are famous and people know you have money, there will always be someone who wants to make a name for themselves.

Jamie Carragher

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.

Xabi Alonso

I recently started my own NP17 Academy within Liverpool Community College, which gives 16-19-year-old girls an opportunity to embark on a sports career, whether it be as a coach, player, physio, or nutritionist.

Nikita Parris

I was in Liverpool city center and I thought I broke one of my toes, just by jumping on buses. I put my arm in the door on the outside, and the bus just drives away with me naked.

Eight is a number I always liked. It’s also the number my dad wore when he played football, so it’s special to me. I am aware that it’s a big number here at Liverpool, and I am very excited to wear it.

A. L. Vijay asked if I could dance, and I just said yes. I didn’t tell him the only dancing I had done was on nights out in Liverpool. He said he would arrange workshops and help me with the scripts and the language. He liked the fact that I was English but had an Indian look.

Amy Jackson

102

You will always be judged as a Liverpool player but, as a captain, you will be judged on what you win, basically. If you’re doing well, and the team is winning everything, you become a very good captain.

Jordan Henderson

103

Liverpool will always buy good players, even if they already have good players. That’s normal. I think it has to be normal for a club like Liverpool because that means you’re a big club.

Georginio Wijnaldum

104

I suppose people lost interest in me when I left Liverpool; but it wasn’t me who left, it was other people who left me. If people had continued to follow me, they would have seen my two good seasons in Turkey which caught the attention of Besiktas and Galatasaray.

Ryan Babel

105

It was a difficult decision to leave Liverpool but I knew it was something I had to do to get playing regularly and improve.

Jurgen Klopp

113

Rhys Ifans

114

115

My favourite team is Liverpool. My favourite player is Michael Owen, and I would like to play there.

Toni Duggan

118

The stature of Liverpool means they want to win trophies.

Graeme Souness

119

A lot of my family follow Liverpool, including my dad Tero and my uncle. In Finland I would say Liverpool is the biggest team, it started in the 1980s with the games on the TV. And then obviously they have had two Finland legends in Jari Litmanen and Sami Hyypia.

Teemu Pukki

120

Leaving Liverpool was the toughest decision I had to make in football because I was in an exemplary club, a proper football club, with a lovely and sharing stadium that meant a lot of things to me. The fans are the best in the world, no doubt about that, and I was comfortable there.

Xabi Alonso

121

In Rome, I was already trying to help in shaping the game, but the style was a little bit different to what we do at Liverpool.

Alisson

122

Liverpool is a great club, and we have to put Liverpool back in the Champions League.

Philippe Coutinho

124

126

Jurgen Klopp is the perfect role model. He has won so much at Liverpool and for Borussia Dortmund but also he worked for a long period at Mainz 05.

Daniel Farke

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.

Rita Tushingham

129

It is obviously wonderful to be linked with a club with the history of Liverpool.

Jack Butland

130

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?

Esther McVey

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.’

Jamie Carragher

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.

Katarina Johnson-Thompson

135

I have improved since I joined Liverpool.

Virgil van Dijk

136

I want to thank my two English clubs: Liverpool for bringing me to the Premier League and Chelsea for the trophies I won.

137

My granddad used to mind me at weekends, and if the game was on, and you wanted to get across the room, you had to crawl under the TV. So I’ve always been a Liverpool fan, and meeting Steven Gerrard was massive for me. He knew who I was before we’d even said hello!

Katarina Johnson-Thompson

138

I feel as though I have established myself at Liverpool and I am enjoying it.

Adam Lallana

Because we were all from Liverpool, we favored people who were street people.

George Harrison

I was sold by Middlesbrough to Liverpool for a record fee between two English clubs and then won European Cups at Anfield, but I couldn’t have been prepared for Rangers. I was a fan as a kid and attended a lot of European nights at Ibrox. I knew the club were big. But not how big.

Graeme Souness

148

To follow in the footsteps of Dirk Kuyt would be sensational. He triumphed at Feyenoord and has had great success at Liverpool.

149

My wife is from Copenhagen and her father has been a huge Liverpool supporter since the early 1960s.

157

As a kid, I never once dreamt of playing for Liverpool.

Fernando Torres

158

When I’m out and about or walking my dogs, United fans are coming up to me saying, ‘We’d rather City win the league than Liverpool.’ It’s strange to hear, but I can assure you the United players aren’t going to leave a red carpet and say, ‘Go on, City, score past us.’

Kyle Walker

159

Liverpool is a family, it is not a club, you don’t come in and out of this club without it leaving a mark.

Bruce Grobbelaar

160

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

Graeme Souness

161

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

Kaka

163

I actually felt sorry for Liverpool bands like Bunnymen and Wah!, having this immense pressure of following the Beatles. I suppose I responded to that challenge by being nothing like them. I carved my own thing.

166

This is hard to say but I think Jurgen Klopp has been a bit blinkered at Liverpool.

Dejan Lovren

168

I have to cause a stir in Liverpool and do my job really well. If I achieve that, then – and that’s what I hope – I will one day get the call from Bundestrainer Joachim Low.

Loris Karius

169

I have played at Liverpool, a special club, grown as a player and won titles.

174

Liverpool stands for unity, Liverpool stands for ‘all together.’

Victor Moses

181

I don’t think any training session can get you ready for a game in the Premier League, never mind playing against Liverpool.

Phil Jones

182

Shinji Kagawa

183

Everyone that plays for Liverpool always stays in the Liverpool family.

Virgil van Dijk

185

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

Divock Origi

After winning the European Championship with Spain, I know exactly how it feels to win a major trophy, and I know that, if we can win at Liverpool, it will feel the same or even better than it did with Spain.

Fernando Torres

201

Looking back and knowing what I do, I believe the people who started the initial surge at Heysel were not Liverpool fans.

Bruce Grobbelaar

202

I am interested in how much and how quickly Klopp, the manager that I know, can change the team at Liverpool.

Shinji Kagawa

203

Of course it’s a big change from Stoke to Liverpool. Liverpool is a big, big team.

Xherdan Shaqiri

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.

Ryan Babel

205

For me, Raheem Sterling is a fantastic player, and he’s been brilliant for England. I hope he will stay at Liverpool.

Jordan Henderson

206

Liverpool was a special city that took to me; I will always remember how special that place was. I obviously don’t miss the rain.

Fernando Torres

207

It took time at Everton to build a team so that when we did go to United or Arsenal or Liverpool, we went with a good chance of getting a result.

David Moyes

208

I did ‘Formula 51′ because I got to run around Liverpool in a kilt, with golf clubs.

Samuel L. Jackson

209

I got the Liverpool job when I was 38.

Graeme Souness

210

Think about all the great boxers who have fought here, starting with Muhammad Ali. And as well as all that, I believe I will be the first boxer from Liverpool to appear at the Garden.

Rocky Fielding

211

Torres is a fantastic striker, and I think it was difficult for Liverpool to sell him because he’s such an important player for them.

Roberto Mancini

212

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

Simon Mignolet

213

I was only one year at Newcastle, but that time there meant a lot to me. I met some great people who helped me to play good games in the Premier League, and it was because of them I got the move to Liverpool.

Georginio Wijnaldum

214

I would say I am more comfortable in the centre of midfield. But when you are at a big club like Liverpool, you maybe get played in positions with which you might not be so familiar. But you have got to learn the different roles, because it gives you a better opportunity to play.

Jordan Henderson

215

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

Zinedine Zidane

216

Obviously, if you go to any football club in the world, you’re going to get guys taking the mickey out of one another, but I would say that in Liverpool it was a lot closer to the knuckle.

Steve Nicol

217

Chelsea gave me what I was looking for when I left Liverpool trophies. I’ll always see it as a success.

Fernando Torres

218

It’s quite telling that the really big comedians – like John Bishop from Liverpool, Kevin Bridges from Glasgow, Peter Kay from Bolton – stand out with their strong regional accents.

Ardal O’Hanlon

219

The big teams will want to avoid Liverpool. Everyone knows we are a very strong side.

Emre Can

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.

Fabinho

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.

Steve Nicol

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.

Raheem Sterling

223

We were at our best when we were playing in the dance halls of Liverpool and Hamburg. The world never saw that.

Pete Best

224

I didn’t have the chance to play at West Ham, but in football, you always have a chance. When I went to Liverpool, I had the chance to show my quality.

Javier Mascherano

225

It definitely isn’t true that I supported Liverpool.

Daniel James

226

I left in Liverpool a lot of friends. I have a very good relationship with all of them.

Fernando Torres

227

Liverpool midfielder Xabi Alonso was always bemused by our enthusiasm for tackling, because he saw it as the last resort.

Jamie Carragher

228

It is hard to leave your local club. All my family are Sunderland fans, and it is pretty tough because I have had some great years there, but I am looking forward to playing for Liverpool now.

Jordan Henderson

229

Fear is not something we feel at Liverpool.

Virgil van Dijk

230

I was raised in inner-city Liverpool, the first in my family to go to university.

Esther McVey

231

Playing for Liverpool at Anfield is a very joyous and positive experience.

Roberto Firmino

232

Liverpool will always be my home.

David Morrissey

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.

Steve Nicol

234

This is Liverpool, we will always come back when it’s tough.

Dejan Lovren

235

Playing for Liverpool, I know what the relationship between the fans and the club is like. With every player, you can see the desire to win, the desire to show that Liverpool are the best and deserve to win the league.

Fabinho

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.

Dwight Yorke

237

My heart was always set on Liverpool. I always loved the club.

Trent Alexander-Arnold

238

As a kid, Liverpool was big for us.

Nuno Espirito Santo

239

For a 20-year-old kid to be taking on Liverpool Football Club over a contract. To the pit of my stomach that just winds me up, it angers me.

Jamie Carragher

240

I have always felt like a Liverpool player.

Harry Wilson

241

I remember being coached at Liverpool, and there was another kid called Toni Silva, and they said, ‘You know, instead of blasting the ball, and it goes in, do like Toni does: pass it around the keeper.’

Raheem Sterling

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.

Adam Lallana

243

My family are from Liverpool, so I have some twang there – I have a Midlands accent, and I was raised about an hour north of London, so my voice is a mess. Although, to American ears, it sounds like the crisp language of a queen‘s butler.

John Oliver

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.

Marouane Fellaini

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.

Sadio Mane

246

I’d be happy if I was part of a Liverpool side that kept winning titles, cups, and made history. I just want to win and carrying on winning for Liverpool.

Philippe Coutinho

247

What Liverpool do really well is they try to get you inside but then close you down.

James Milner

248

I think you’ve seen the likes of Liverpool, Chelsea, Man City – the top clubs – all now tapping into the women‘s market and developing that side of the club. It’s great for women’s football, and I look at how far we’ve come, and it’s great to have teams like this.

Toni Duggan

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.

John Barnes

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.’

Ian Rush

251

I feel confident that I’m good enough to play a lot of games for Liverpool.

Ryan Babel

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.

Javier Mascherano

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.

Pepe Reina

254

I know how big Liverpool are – and it means everything to me – but I know what is important; I know it’s what I do on the pitch and the minutes I play. I know that’s what matters, and that’s what I’ll be focused on.

Rickie Lambert

255

I could have sat on the bench for a third year but I moved to West Brom from Liverpool to play. I love Liverpool and I’ve played a lot of games in my career so if I wanted to have a comfy life, I could have stayed at Liverpool.

Rickie Lambert

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.

Fred

257

Liverpool are a team that have no fear.

Paolo Maldini

258

I want to be remembered as a Liverpool player who was part of something special.

Georginio Wijnaldum

259

The Liverpool lad Darren Till looked unbelievable in his UFC debut, and he seems like quite a character.

Michael Bisping

260

We’ve spent more than 200 million dollars of taxpayer dollars to protect the Liverpool Plains.

Gladys Berejiklian

261

Everyone’s dream, growing up, is seeing themselves in an away kit somewhere in a sunny country. But, in reality, I’m happy to be playing for Liverpool and trying to win trophies.

Raheem Sterling

262

I left Liverpool during the 1993-94 season to join Notts County as a player-coach under Howard Kendall.

Steve Nicol

263

Bombay is different to Liverpool, or anywhere, really.

Amy Jackson

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?’

Richard Quest

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.

Jennifer Ellison

266

I would have liked to grow up in Liverpool and become a rocker. I would have put my boots on, jeans and a leather jacket, and long hair and played the guitar.

Hasso Plattner

267

Two of the first plays I saw after I arrived in Britain were ‘King Lear’ in Liverpool, and ‘Antony and Cleopatra’ at Stratford. One was produced with hardly a backdrop and the other with gigantic scene changes. I was impressed by what connected the two: the words and their life beyond the stage.

Romesh Gunesekera

268

At Liverpool, I studied Steven Gerrard all the time and improved my game that way. Here, I absorb all I can from Iniesta and Messi.

Philippe Coutinho

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.

Emre Can

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.

Georginio Wijnaldum

271

I always thought about working in England because of the kind of football, the intensity of football. Liverpool was first choice.

Jurgen Klopp

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.

Virgil van Dijk

273

Oh it kills me to see Liverpool lose.

Steve Nicol

274

My Dad was from Liverpool, and he picked it up in the army. He’d often come out with this stuff.

Mike Myers

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.

Ryan Babel

276

I grew up in an area of inner-city Liverpool. There were plenty of opportunities but also plenty of challenges – you could go down the right or wrong path, depending on one moment.

Nikita Parris

277

But Liverpool is a big club, and expectations are high, so it is normal that you are going to be criticised.

Dejan Lovren

278

I think the Brazil system is similar to the one we use at Liverpool, with lots of movement, players open out wide, and quality midfielders who join the attack and score goals.

Roberto Firmino

279

A little voice keeps telling me an Aston Martin really isn’t me, but a louder voice is telling me that, as an England international playing for Liverpool, the old rules no longer apply.

Peter Crouch

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.

Roberto Firmino

281

In Liverpool, where I live, we have a brilliant library which has been refurbished, and I like going there.

Shaun Evans

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.

Chris Lowe

283

I never thought being a Liverpool player would be easy.

Emre Can

284

Gothenburg is the Baltimore or Liverpool or Marseille of Sweden – plagued by the death of wharfs and other industries, and with complex segregation of the populace from southern Europe, which once brought in a labor force that suddenly found itself living in remote projects without jobs.

Johan Renck

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.

Alisson

286

I have always wanted to fight no matter what position I am in, and whether that is Liverpool or England, I need to do more, and I need to do better because you have younger players, or players get signed for the club who push you and want to take your place, and you have to be better than them.

Jordan Henderson

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.

Jordan Henderson

288

Liverpool is a great club and I always enjoyed playing at Anfield because the fans are so passionate.

Robert Pires

289

When you’re at a big team like Liverpool, you can’t expect to start every game.

Kolo Toure

290

291

To work with Brendan Rodgers and the players at Liverpool is an unbelievable dream come true for me, really.

Danny Ings

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.

Lucy Bronze

293

The power of Liverpool Football Club is the collective. We always do everything together; this is our power.

Sadio Mane

294

When I knew I had the chance to play for Liverpool I couldn’t refuse it.

Nicolas Anelka

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.
