#6 Dietmar Hamann (Newcastle United, Liverpool, Manchester City)
Trending
Dietmar Hamann is a much-loved figure at Liverpool, courtesy of his game-changing performance for the club in the UEFA Champions League final in 2005 against a dominant AC Milan side. However, it was not Liverpool but Newcastle United who first brought the German to England when Kenny Dalglish decided to spend £5.5 million to sign the midfielder.
Hamann had impressed after rising through the ranks at Bayern Munich and had established himself as the side’s leading defensive midfielder. His performances were duly rewarded with a call-up to the German national team and the player soon established himself as a key figure in their midfield.
He enjoyed his greatest stint as a player while plying his trade at Anfield. He was a beloved and an ever-present figure in the Liverpool midfield during his seven years at the club, a stint many Liverpool fans collect with great joy to this date.
During his time at the Merseyside he won everything there was on offer in England except the Premier League title. While he wasn’t able to replicate his performances at his subsequent club, Manchester City, he still remains one of the top Germans to have set foot on English soil.
