We all have our favorite Liverpool player or the ones we rank as the ‘best’ throughout the club’s history, but how does Martin Skrtel rank the ones who played at Anfield?
Skrtel was on Liverpool’s books for eight years, featuring 320 times for the club alongside the likes of Steven Gerrard, Jamie Carragher, Fernando Torres, Luis Suarez and Pepe Reina.
The centre-back only retired from playing in May and is fondly remembered on Merseyside as a player always willing to risk his body for the shirt.
And that didn’t change when Liverpool Legends met Man United at Anfield during the international break, with Skrtel sent off the pitch after a clash of heads with Fraizer Campbell.
Six years after his last appearance for the Reds, some things never change!
This Is Anfield spoke to Skrtel at the AXA Training Center before the legends match, and he was asked burning questions about his ‘best’ Liverpool team-mates in various categories.
This is what he had to say:
Best Penalty Taker: “Stevie.” Free throw: “Stevie”. Midfielder: “Phil Coutinho”. Central defender: “I would say Carra”. Center forward: “Difficult choice, but I’m going for Suárez.” Side: “Glen Johnson”. Lefty: “Daniel Anger, sure.”
An interesting mix of players, some of whom appear in TIA’s recent Top 10 series.
But what do you think of Suarez on Fernando Torres as the best striker and Agger on Fabio Aurelio, Daniel Sturridge and John Arne Riise as the best left foot? Suppose the centrals always stick together.
