http://www.liverpoolfc.com/news/have-you-seen/kop-10-honorary-scousers-10 So many foreign players have shook the Kop throughout Liverpool's 121-year history â but which 10 have made more appearances than the rest and are thus deserving of the title 'honorary Scouser'? Daniel Agger's commitment to the Liverpool cause was acknowledged this week when a banner in his name got its first showing during the Reds' 4-0 triumph over Wigan. Lucas Leiva and Martin Skrtel both passed the 200 games mark earlier this season and Pepe Reina is now a seven-year custodian between the sticks at Anfield. And with the lethal Luis Suarez racking up the appearances and goals and declaring his love for the city and the club in each interview, the current Reds squad is hardly short of 'honorary Scousers'. But just one of the four aforementioned have made our countdown of foreign appearance-holders. The list has been based on the amount of games played for the club, so fans favourites like Xabi Alonso (with 210 appearances) and Stephane Henchoz (with 205) have also narrowly missed out. Our countdown excludes those who are UK or Ireland nationals and stretches right back to a South African international who played his first Reds game in 1925. No.10: Craig Johnston (271 appearances) No.9: Dietmar Hamann (283 appearances) No.8: Dirk Kuyt (285 appearances) No.7: Jan Molby (292 appearances) No.6: Arthur Riley (338 appearances) No.5: John Arne Riise (348 appearances) No.4: Gordon Hodgson (378 appearances) No.3: Pepe Reina (386 appearances) No.2: Sami Hyypia (464 appearances) No.1: Bruce Grobbelaar (628 appearances)
Seriously though, Deitmar Hamman is a legend for his loyalty he shows towards us. He even watches cricket, Germans don't watch cricket FFS.
Jan molby surely he even has a scouse twang to his accent. In the way schmeichel has a manc twang to his You're forgetting Torres.. As Didnt he say he wanted his kids to grow up to be scousers??
If this listing is to be done properly then it has to include all those former players who were not born in either Liverpool or what has become Merseyside. After all We're not English. We are Scouse"
What a crock of **** : No Ronnie Whelan Whelan was signed for Liverpool by Bob Paisley for a bargain £35,000 1979-1994 (362 apps)
Didi Molby and Hypia, couldn't choose between the 3 of them. honorary mentions would be Johnston (he was a joy to watch) and Bruce, loved his antics of clowning around, not so much in the middle of a ****ing game though! Cup finals after we won. shame reina never had the opportunity, he could have been as much of a laugh as Bruce if we had given him more chances to win things. Whelan wouldn't be included as it says Our countdown excludes those who are UK or Ireland nationals, i would have put him in myself even though he was a fecking utd supporter! but not for long
Ronnie Whelan, Liverpool's mystery man. Nobody knew what the **** he did but everybody noticed when he wasn't there to do it!
