13) Vladimir Smicer
Probably one of the most injury prone players to have played for Liverpool, Vladimir Smicer's role in the final started after 22 minutes into the first half when an injury to Harry Kewell forced him off the field. Smicer marked his final appearance for Liverpool that night with a goal.
He moved to Bordeaux in 2005 where he suffered more injuries including one that would have him out of the game for nearly a year resulting in him missing the 2006 World Cup in Germany.
In 2007, he returned to SK Salvia Prague where he won a league title. Just a day after he retired he was made sports manager of the Czech national football team alongside manager Michal Bilek.
