The word 'legend' can often be handed out rather frivolously in the modern age.
Many players have certainly lived up to that billing on the red half of Merseyside in years gone by - think Steven Gerrard, John Barnes, Ian Rush, Robbie Fowler.

Some modern heroes have been named in the squad, from Istanbul icons Jerzy Dudek and Xabi Alonso, to 'treble' winners Sander Westerveld and Stephane Henchoz.
