It truly is strange how football works. Fernando Torres, Michael Owen perhaps, debatably even Luis Suarez, were never accepted as Liverpool greats by a sceptical fanbase, despite all-time goalscoring exploits.
Divock Origi on the other hand, has finally left Anfield - after agreeing to join AC Milan on July 1 when his Reds contract officially expires - with one word unanimously aired in celebration of his status: “legend”.
Jurgen Klopp used the phrase several times when he confirmed the striker would be leaving the club, after eight eventful years - and that is an understatement - on Merseyside, suggesting: “he’s one of the most important players I ever had.”
