That's who I would have gone for too. Can't remember who scored our opener that day, Lennon? But remember we scored 8, of the 9, in the second half and Defoe scored 5.

Crouch.. world class ball in from Lennon, think he got a goal and about 5 assists that day, unplayable.

Defoe scored 5 goals and STILL didn't get man of the match.

Which Foreign player has made the most Premier League appearances for Liverpool FC?

 

[DubaiSpur]

Dietmar Hamann or Sami Hyppia, I think. Probably Hyppia.

 

[clownfoot]

Pepe Reina could be up there. Had 7 or 8 seasons, and keepers rarely miss games. Between him and Hypia, I'd gueess

 

[Mumorn]

Hyppia was there for 10 years, definitely him.

Although Reina is probably a full season away from overtaking him.

 

[THFC6061]

Yes, Sami Hyypia (Finland) with 318 Premier League appearances from 7th August 1999 to 24th May 2009.
