Gerrard, Salah, Dalglish: Who is Liverpool's greatest player?
Mohamed Salah was named the Football Writers’ Association Men’s Footballer of the Year for 2021/22 on Friday morning.
The Egyptian forward has been tremendous for Liverpool this season, scoring 30 goals in 44 games.
Since signing for Liverpool in 2017, he has scored a total of 155 goals in 247 games. He’s also provided 61 assists.
His brilliance has helped Liverpool to five trophies, including the Champions League in 2019 and the Premier League in 2020.
More trophies are set to follow with Liverpool’s hopes of winning a historic quadruple in 2021/22 still alive.
Salah has been tremendous for the Reds and has already established himself as a club legend.
But where exactly does he rank among the club’s greatest players?
FourFourTwo have ranked the 50 greatest players in Liverpool history and you can view their list below…
50. Steve Nicol
49. Xabi Alonso
48. Steve McMannaman
47. James Milner
46. Tommy Lawrence
45. Albert Stubbins
44. John Aldridge
43. Fernando Torres
42. Steve McMahon
41. Gerry Byrne
Xabi Alonso and Fernando Torres are two of the best Spanish players to ever play in the Premier League.
Milner signed for the club in 2015 and, now 36, is still an integral part of the side.
40. Jimmy Case
39. Michael Owen
38. Sammy Lee
37. John Toshack
36. Roberto Firmino
35. Jan Molby
34. Jordan Henderson
33. Bruce Grobelaar

Lee was a key cog of the Liverpool sides that won the Champions League in 1981 and 1984. Grobelaar’s famous ‘spaghetti legs’ helped the Reds beat Roma in the shootout in the latter.
Alexander-Arnold is already ranked Liverpool’s 32nd best player at 23 years old. He has the talent to finish his Liverpool career as one of their best players ever.
