Despite Liverpool being one of the most successful clubs in history, it is surprising to think that the Reds only have one Premier League title to their name.

Liverpool have been part of the Premier League's traditional 'Big 4' since the league's conception in 1992. However, the Reds only managed to win their first league title in the 2019-20 season.

This means that many of the club's and the league's greatest players have missed out on winning English football's top prize.

This list will rank the five best Liverpool players who did not win the Premier League title while at the club. So without further ado, here are the

Top 5 Liverpool players who never won the Premier League title while at the club


#5 Jamie Carragher

Regarded as one of the best English defenders of his generation, Jamie Carragher played his entire career at Liverpool, but never won the Premier League title during his 17-year tenure.

Carragher started out at Liverpool's youth academy and took his time to establish himself in the starting XI. The Englishman played as a full-back at the start of his career, but really came into his own when he was converted into a centre-back.

Carragher was a no-nonsense, tough-tackling defender who was known for his work-rate and ability to read the game.

Although he wasn't the fastest defender, the Englishman's positional awareness helped establish himself as one of Liverpool's greatest defenders of all time.

Carragher is Liverpool's second-longest serving player of all time, having made 737 appearances across all competitions for the Reds.


#4 Robbie Fowler

Another one of Liverpool's youth products, Robbie Fowler, did not manage to win the Premier League title despite having two different stints with the club.

The Englishman is considered one of the greatest Premier League strikers of all time and is the seventh highest goal-scorer in league history, with 163 goals in 379 appearances.

One of the most clinical strikers of his time, Fowler, was known for his incredible finishing ability and his great positioning and movement in the box.

His performances for Liverpool earned him the nickname 'God' from supporters, but it was a shame that Fowler could never deliver them the Premier League title.

#3 Xabi Alonso

For a player that won everything in his illustrious career, it is very surprising that Xabi Alonso never got close to winning the Premier League title with Liverpool.

The Spaniard spent five years at Liverpool, winning the FA Cup and Champions League during his tenure at the club. Alonso struck up a great partnership with the likes of Steven Gerrard and Javier Mascherano, but could not steer Liverpool to a Premier League title during his time there.

Alonso was a quintessential deep-lying playmaker with incredible passing range and shooting ability. He was also adept at set-pieces and perfectly complimented Liverpool's style of play under Rafael Benitez at the time.

His performances for Liverpool earned him a move to Real Madrid in 2009, where he went on to win the La Liga title as well as another Champions League crown. He then moved to German powerhouse Bayern Munich, where he won three Bundesliga titles before retiring in 2017.


#2 Luis Suarez

Luis Suarez established himself as one of the best strikers in world football during his time at Liverpool. However, he only managed to win the League Cup during his time there.

The Uruguayan was unstoppable for the Reds, winning the 2013-14 Premier League Player of the Season and Golden Boot, as well as the European Golden Shoe.

Suarez tormented Premier League defenses with his dribbling and shooting abilities, but his goals never translated into trophies during his time at Liverpool.

Suarez left the club in 2014 to join Barcelona, where he would win four La Liga titles and one Champions League title in his six years with the club.


#1 Steven Gerrard

Perhaps the most notable player to have never won the Premier League title, Steven Gerrard is widely known as one of the greatest players of all time. However, the midfielder never got his hands on the Premier League trophy throughout his legendary career.

The Englishman was a Liverpool youth product who went on to captain the club to an FA Cup and a UEFA Champions League title, starring in both finals. Gerrard was known for his leadership abilities as well as his dynamic performances from midfield.

The Englishman had great passing range and a penchant for scoring spectacular long-range efforts. Despite all these attributes, Gerrard never led Liverpool to the Premier League trophy, in what is the biggest travesty in the league's history.
