Many players signing from overseas for Liverpool have often used the same phrase upon their arrival at the club.
"I didn't realise just how big the club was", are nine words that have been uttered countless times in years gone by, though new recruits quickly learned all about the demands of representing the Reds after spending a matter of weeks on Merseyside.

Indeed, the English goalkeeper left Watford to join the Reds' ranks and admits he underestimated just what he was getting himself into.
