It is a patch of land that players such as Billy Liddell, Steve Heighway and John Barnes graced and made their own as they attacked the Kop End on their way to becoming club legends. A winger with guile, pace and invention who is not afraid to take risks is the sort of player the Anfield faithful quickly embraces and takes to their hearts.
