#4 Kolo Toure
The two-time Premier League winner came to Anfield as the Reds' first signing of the 2013 summer transfer window. At 32 years old he was brought in to be a squad player and provide cover for the first-choice centre-backs.

His experience was also valuable to the squad as Brendan Rodgers was aiming high. Kolo Toure still played a lot because of injuries to the likes of Daniel Agger and Mamadou Sakho. His fighting performances for the Reds were enough to endear him to the hearts of the Kop.
Kolo Toure’s passion for the game was infectious as he still looked up for it. His on-field leadership and off-field lightheartedness gave Liverpool a positive injection. His experience did prove important as the young and dynamic Reds came so close to winning the Premier League title. Only in recent months has the atmosphere around the club been as positive as it was during those electric few months. Toure's enthusiasm played a big part in that challenge.
His performances were either rock-solid or ridiculous. There were a couple of terrible errors from the Ivorian, but he was often the one to remain calm and keep his teammates in check. When Liverpool faced Real Madrid away in the Champions League Toure managed to keep Ronaldo quiet throughout the game, putting in a terrific display.
He was at the thick of the transition from Rodgers to Klopp and continued to show how good he really was. Through it all, he played with a huge smile and pure love for the game. Toure’s excellent attitude and his love for life was a breath of fresh air and a delight to see at Anfield.
