The beginning of July 1 marked the official departure of four players who lived the long goodbye at Liverpool.
It was known for some time prior to the club's official announcement on May 17 that James Milner, Naby Keita and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain would be leaving Anfield at the end of last season.
That confirmation came over two months after it was revealed that Roberto Firmino would be ending his own eight years of decorated association with Liverpool and it was an emotional day for those inside Anfield on Saturday May 20 when all four were given classy send-offs by the club.
