There are few players in Liverpool's history who could match Luis Suarez for drama.
The Uruguayan forward's three-and-a-half seasons at Anfield may only have yielded a solitary League Cup winner's medal, but his stint on Merseyside was littered with sensational goals, performances and controversy in equal measure. When the player nicknamed 'El Pistolero' wasn't being suspended for one reason or another, he was banging in goal after goal, each one more outrageous than the last, as former Norwich City goalkeeper John Ruddy would surely testify.
Despite the apparent baggage that came with Suarez, his stock in European football soared at Anfield. And with the talisman figuring in what was, initially at least, a pretty underwhelming Liverpool team, other sides became very interested in prising him away from Merseyside.
