A marauding, attack-minded left-back, John Arne Riise was a constant for Liverpool during his seven seasons at the club.
Trending
Riise joined Liverpool from AS Monaco for a fee of £5.5 million in 2001. The Norway international was an immediate addition to the first XI, scoring important goals during his first season and impressing with his displays on the left flank for Liverpool.
The former Aalesund man made 348 appearances in all competitions for Liverpool, scoring 31 goals. He won the Champions League with the club before leaving Liverpool in 2008. After making appearances for the likes of AS Roma, Fulham, Delhi Dynamos and Chennaiyin, Riise retired in 2017.
#2 Keylor Navas | Real Madrid | 2014-2019
One of the most underrated players in Europe, Keylor Navas continues to operate under the radar despite playing for PSG, one of the biggest clubs in the world.
After an impressive World Cup campaign for Costa Rica in 2014, Navas joined Real Madrid from Levante on a £9 million transfer. He spent his first season at the club as second-choice goalkeeper, as club legend Iker Casillas was preferred to Navas.
However, after Casillas joined Porto in 2015, Navas became the starting goalkeeper at Real Madrid.
The Costa Rica international did not disappoint. An athletic goalkeeper with good reflexes, Navas starred for Los Blancos, winning three consecutive Champions League titles.
The arrival of Thibaut Courtois in 2018 once again pushed Navas down the pecking order, and the 34-year old joined PSG in 2019 for a fee of £13.5 million. He has been a key player for the Ligue 1 giants since his arrival.
#1 Kolo Toure | Arsenal | 2002-2009
A key player of Arsenal's 'Invincibles' side under Arsene Wenger, Kolo Toure enjoyed a fruitful career for club and country.
Toure joined Arsenal in 2002 and was utilised by Wenger in a variety of positions. However, in 2003, the Frenchman started using Toure as a centre-back, where the Ivory Coast international formed a strong defensive partnership with Sol Campbell in an unbeaten Premier League campaign for the Gunners.
The defender made 326 appearances in all competitions for Arsenal before joining Manchester City in 2009.
After more than 100 appearances for Manchester City, he enjoyed short spells with Liverpool and Celtic before retiring in 2017. Toure is currently a coach at Leicester City.
