Xabi Alonso
Xabi Alonso joined Liverpool from Real Sociedad in 2004 and became one of the most elegant deep-lying midfielders of his generation, dictating play with his exceptional range of passing. The Spaniard was a central figure in Liverpool's remarkable 2005 Champions League triumph in Istanbul, scoring the rebound after his initial penalty was saved to make it 3-3 against AC Milan before Liverpool won on penalties. Alonso also won the FA Cup in 2006 and formed a celebrated midfield partnership at Anfield before leaving for Real Madrid in 2009. Renowned for his composure and vision, he is remembered as one of the finest passers of the ball ever to play for the club.
