The Hungary international also revealed a special link Gerrard, when asked by the club why he opted to take no.8. 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. He'd go on to establish himself as a huge Liverpool fan favourite, spending eight and a half years with the club.
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. He said: "After tattooing this piece and through conversations with Javi, the club started to interest me.Ael ( pictured ), 31, said: "In the past I've done quite a lot of scripts bearing You'll Never Walk Alone. Szoboszlai also spoke highly of his new club's history as a factor that led him to sign on the dotted line.

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.”
Chief among the Dane’s frustrations at his treatment was the fact he had twice turned down moves to Barcelona after seeking assurances from the Northern Irishman he was part of his plans. The Catalans had been keen to sign him during the two previous summers, with Manchester City also wanting to take him to the Etihad. “Whenever I had a good offer to go, I told Brendan that if he didn’t see me as part of his plans I’d leave but if he wanted me to stay then I’d fulfil my contract”, Agger said. “I loved being at Liverpool. My family loved it there. But if Brendan had said to me he wasn’t 100 per cent sure I would have gone. Brendan said he wanted me there but I don’t think he really did. How close was I to Barcelona? I had the contract in front of me. I just needed to put the signature on it. I could have done it as Liverpool actually agreed a price with Barcelona and I accepted my terms. I remember I had to go down in salary but I was fine with that. The tattoo in question is scrawled in his native Hungarian across his arm, with the phrase: "Talent is a blessing from God, but without incredible will and humility, it is worthless." 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. I was petrified’ - Liverpool star went from Champions League heartbreak to tearful exit as a club legend When I was a child, to be honest I didn’t watch that much football but of course when it was Champions League or a big game, I was watching Liverpool, the big teams and also the big players – and he was one of the biggest."In previous interviews, the striker has said that the inkings on his right arm represent his parents and family members.
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 only has he been giving tattoos but he's also been adding to his own extensive and creative collection.

A Joe Cole effort decided the first leg at Stamford Bridge in favour of the Londoners and Agger endured a difficult night after being targeted by Didier Drogba, coming in for criticism afterwards particularly from the Danish media who questioned the 22-year-old’s ability to play at the highest level. “You don’t need to worry about Daniel Agger, he’s going to be a top player for years to come”, Jamie Carragher told the assembled media before the Anfield second leg with manager Benitez also offering a ringing endorsement and big show of faith in his young defender’s capabilities. “Agger will learn from his experience against Drogba”, the Liverpool manager asserted. “Drogba can cause problems for some of the best defenders in the world. Daniel will be an even better player every time he plays in games such as this. He’ll have an outstanding game in the second leg. I’m sure of this. He’s that type of character.”
