Jurgen Klopp's first Liverpool team remembered as James Milner extends Reds contract

When Jurgen Klopp selected a team to face Tottenham Hotspur on October 17, 2015 little would he know that James Milner would be the only surviving Liverpool player heading into the 2022/23 season.

But with the imminent departure of Divock Origi, that is exactly the situation Klopp's 'Mr Reliable' finds himself in, after agreeing a new one-year that will keep the 36-year-old Yorkshireman at Anfield for an eighth season. The Reds played out a goalless draw at White Hart Lane in that first match, but have since gone on, with Milner, to win practically every major trophy on offer to them, including a first league title in 30 years and a sixth European Cup.

But while veteran Milner rests up ahead of another silverware-chasing campaign under Klopp, what became of his teammates from that first match against Spurs? Here we take a loot at where there are now.
