Mane, Gerrard, Salah: Liverpool's 50 greatest players of all time as voted by fans

Sadio Mane has played his last game for Liverpool.

The curtains have been drawn on a spectacular six-year stint on Merseyside in which time Mane has lifted the Champions League, Premier League, FA Cup, League Cup and FIFA Club World Cup titles.

The Senegalese forward has won the Premier League Golden Boot and scored more than 100 goals in England’s top-flight, but has now turned his attention to pastures new with Bayern Munich.

And while Kopites are still digesting the news that Mane has pulled on the famous red jersey for the final time, there’s no denying that he’s left many incredible memories for them to remember him by.

After all, it’s no small statement within the context of Liverpool‘s rich history that Mane genuinely ranks amongst the greatest ever players to have turned out for the men’s senior team.

Even if you brushed aside the statistics, records and silverware, the simple fact of the matter is that Mane brought a kind of magic to Anfield that only the world’s very best players can deliver.

But don’t just take our word for it because the will of thousands of football fans also perpetuates the frankly uncontroversial argument that Mane is one of Liverpool’s finest ever footballers.

Over on ranker.com, their interactive list titled: “The Best Liverpool Players Of All Time,” sees Mane rubbing shoulders with the likes of Steven Gerrard and Sir Kenny Dalglish after no less than 77,000 votes.

However, while Mane’s rightful place on the list might be beyond reproach, the exact position that he’s assumed amongst the pantheon of Liverpool greats is far more worthy of debate.

Well, we can inform you that – at the time of writing – Mane places as the 16th best Liverpool player in history, which is no small statement
