About this deal

A redesign in 1955 added ‘LFC’ to the crest, which appeared on home shirts for the first time – and has done so ever since. The design remained essentially unchanged in future years, with the exception of the removal of the oval enclosing the Liver bird in 1968, and kits created between 1976 and 1985 reproducing the logo in yellow stitching. As rumoured on social media, Szoboszlai confirmed that he has a tattoo inspired by the Liverpool legend on his arm. This includes pictures of both his mother and father and a message in German that translates into English as "Family unending love".

There is more of an awareness now of the damage caused by the cortisone injections many players of the 1960s and 70s used to regularly take to get them through games, with many suffering severe mobility problems in retirement as a result, but there is perhaps a misguided perception that in the modern game with all the sports science and top-level medical expertise involved that players can now continually smash through their physical limits without consequence.

On top of that, a number of high-profile exits from Anfield upon the expiry of their contracts left a selection of famous squad numbers up for grabs. Alexis Mac Allister snapped up the no.10, vacated by Sadio Mane one year ago, whilst Luis Diaz coverted his no.23 to no.7 last week.

(Photo by Laurence Griffiths/Getty Images) The club’s first insignia was the coat of arms of the city of Liverpool. The artwork depicts Neptune, the Roman god of freshwater and the sea, and Triton, the Greek deity and messenger of the sea. They are flanked by two Liver birds, or cormorants, with the Latin words “God has granted us this ease” underneath.

The Dane was benched for the next match away at Sunderland and would have to settle for infrequent appearances thereafter, the mistrust between player and manager again coming to the fore during a fractious exchange during half-time of Liverpool’s eventual 4-3 victory over Swansea in late February. With the Reds 3-2 up after a topsy turvy first period which saw the Swans draw level after going two behind early on, Agger along with defensive partner Skrtel were criticised for letting Ivory Coast striker Wilfried Bony have too much of the ball. “Everyone was quiet”, Agger remembered, “but I stood up and said, ‘How can you stand there and say that when we are only doing what you have been going on about all week.’ Rodgers just looked at me and muttered, ‘Whatever.’ I was substituted 12 minutes later.” My head went as my hero was battering me' - Kenny Dalglish scathing phone message to Liverpool defender who proved him wrong It is unacceptable to play for one of Liverpool's arch rivals”, Agger said afterwards."For a Dane, it's about having respect for the club you play at. I am proud to be able to pull on my Liverpool jersey and will never go to another club in England. I would never go to Manchester United or Everton, for example. It's about a form of respect for the club. I suppose Liverpool got a lot of money for him and, if the player doesn't want to be there any more, there is no reason to keep him. I should say I think everyone at Melwood liked him and still do, because he is a good guy and we wish him all the best in a blue shirt - except against us. Why has Torres been so poor? That is a big question isn't it? How to explain that. But look at the team. We played awful, we were s***. He is a part of the team so, when everything is playing well, normally he plays a lot better. It is the same for everybody, for me, for Stevie, it is the same.” With no.8 still vacant, Szoboszlai wasted no time claiming his new jersey, and there was none more perfect than the eight due to his likeness to the Reds' former captain, both having played as a right midfielder in their younger years and the new signing likely to follow in his predecessor's footsteps by converting to central midfield.

Previously, the club had gone with a more simple logo that featured a single Liver bird. This was the first logo to appear on a uniform, appearing on the white jersey worn in the 1950 FA Cup final defeat to Arsenal. Not a special reason but of course it’s a great number, a lot of great players had this number," he said. "And also I have a tattoo from Steven Gerrard, what he said – I don’t even remember when but before. It was also a reason why. The club also had an alternate crest in the late 1940s, which was used on goods, matchday programmes, letterheads, and other items. It may be recognisable to followers of a particular East Lancs Road team, who went on to adopt a similar design in the 1960s. Liverpool’s last recorded use was in the early 1980s.
