Greatest XI of all time - Liverpool 

Wide Forwards - Billy Liddle and Luis Suarez

Liverpool used to be referred as Liddellpool in the 1950s

It is not often that a player's name becomes a part of the moniker for summarizing the club. In the case of Billy Liddell, that is exactly what happened as Liverpool were often referred to as "Liddellpool", predominantly in the 1950s.

The Scot played his entire playing career at Anfield from 1946 to1961 scoring 228 goals in 534 appearances for the club. However, it would not have been the case if not for a certain Sir Matt Busby, who tipped off the then Liverpool manager George Kay about the 16-year old. Primarily a left-winger, he could play anywhere in attack and was the singular shining light in a poor phase for the club.

He retired just when the Shankly revolution was about to start and in the latter's own words:

"Liddell was some player... He had everything. He was fast, powerful, shot with either foot and his headers were like blasts from a gun. On top of all that he was as hard as granite. What a player! He was so strong – and he took a nineteen-inch collar shirt!"

Thus, Liddell occupies the left side of the attack in the greatest XI.

Suarez was one of the most talented players to don the Liverpool red

On the opposite side, he is joined by Luis Suarez who spent the least amount of time at the club compared to the rest on this list and has a solitary League Cup win in 2012 as his achievement. However, greatness is not limited to winning trophies and the Uruguayan ensured that in just three-and-a-half seasons at the club.

Suarez's transfer in the January of 2011 got lost amidst the turmoil surrounding fan-favourite Fernando Torres' move to Chelsea for a league record fee then and his replacement in a young Andy Carroll for a club-record fee. However, slowly but surely the brilliance came to the fore as the world stood up and took notice.

Donning the legendary no.7 jersey, Suarez scored on debut in front of the Kop and he continued to showcase his genius with simply unbelievable goals from every angle and in every way irrespective of the opponent and occasion. While he missed games due to bans from time to time for alleged racial abuse and biting, it all came together in the 2013/14 season.

Despite missing the first 5 games due to a ban, Suarez came back to score a whopping 31 goals in the remaining 33 league games. It was not just the goals but the nature of them as he single-handedly inspired a team with problems everywhere on the pitch to the brink of Premier League glory, a statement hardly any other player can make. The fact that he outscored the two best players of this generation, Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, speaks volumes about his ability coupled with a relentless desire to win.

The image of an inconsolable Suarez after a 3-3 draw at Crystal Palace in May 2014 which ended title hopes will remain etched in every Reds' fan's memory. Such was his talent and impact that he is considered among the absolute best to not only play for Liverpool but also in the Premier League by several experts and pundits.

He did go on to win everything at the club level with Barcelona, making a name of his own beside the magical Messi. Meanwhile, for Liverpool, he has done just about enough to see out his competition and get into the greatest XI.
