Liverpool v Bolton Wanderers - Premier League
The Destroyer

Mascherano arrived in England as part of controversial transfer dealings between West Ham and Corinthians in August of 2006. He only made 7 appearances for the east London Club before eventually moving to Liverpool in February of 2007.

Mascherano, in his three and a half year long stay at Merseyside, played 139 games in all competition. Known for his tough tacking, passing accuracy and distribution, mostly played as a defensive midfielder alongside Steven Gerrard and Xabi Alonso. With tackle success rate of 78% in the league, he is still considered as the best defensive midfielder to grace the Premier League.
