Ian Ladyman names the best five Liverpool strikers he has ever seen

Who is the best Liverpool striker you've ever seen?

It's a debate that can run long into the night for any fan who has watched the Kop's electrifying forwards over the years, a tradition stretching throughout the 20th century until the present day involving names who have set a city on fire.

Ian Ladyman took on the task of naming the best five Reds forwards he's ever seen - and it's a mix of old blood with modern names.

Mo Salah was, unsurprisingly, the only player out of their current crop to make the list as the others still have some way to go to catch the all-time greats.

Chris Sutton, Ladyman's sidekick on It's All Kicking Off, was surprised at one major omission - as well as his pick for number one.

In fifth place for Ladyman was Kevin Keegan, who scored 100 goals across six seasons and helped Liverpool to their first European Cup as well as three First Division titles.

Ladyman's fourth-choice pick was Luis Suarez, who bagged 82 goals in a prolific three-and-a-half years on Merseyside and numerous individual awards.

The bronze medallist in this intense competition was Ian Rush, Liverpool's all-time top scorer with 346 goals and 20 trophies to his name from a stunning career at Anfield.

Sutton was surprised that Rush, whose most formidable season saw him score 47 goals, did not reach top spot.

Ahead of him was Kenny Dalglish, who scored 172 times for the club after joining from Celtic and helped to define their dominance in Europe in the late 1970s and 1980s.

But top spot was reserved for Salah, who has 204 Liverpool goals to his name and 88 assists, dazzling fans with his combination of skill, speed, strength, and deadly finishing, seeming to create goals out of the impossible.
