For Alexis Mac Allister, there was only ever going to be one winner when he was presented with the options for his Liverpool squad number last week.
For some, the allure of the No.7 at Anfield carries the most weight. It's enough to evoke memories of Kevin Keegan and Sir Kenny Dalglish from a glorious and trophy-laden past, while Luis Suarez wore it with some distinction in more recent times before James Milner forged a reputation as arguably the greatest free transfer in the club's history.
The No.9 is another laced with history for the Reds. From Ian Rush - the all-time leading scorer at the club - through to Robbie Fowler and Fernando Torres, Liverpool have a number of prolific marksmen who have done justice to the digit best associated with goalscorers in football. Roberto Firmino, who took the No.9 shirt in 2017, will become known as another legendary figure to have turned out with it.
