Making it at Liverpool is tougher now than ever before when you consider the quality within their squad, but throughout the years there have been many successful players who never quite secured their first-team spot at Anfield.
From forgotten loanees to youth teamers who didn’t quite make the grade, we’ve listed nine players who once played for Liverpool… not that you’d remember.
A few of these players went on to win major trophies. But do Liverpool miss any of them? Probably not.
Victor Moses
A loanee from Chelsea in 2013-14 when he was 22, the Nigerian winger didn’t pull up any trees under Brendan Rodgers as Liverpool narrowly missed out on the Premier League title.
With just two goals in 22 appearances, this was not the ideal campaign for Moses to try and impress his Chelsea bosses but he would eventually find his feet in west London, winning the title in 2016-17 playing as a right wing-back under Antonio Conte.
The 31-year-old now plays for Spartak Moscow after spells all over Europe, and his time at Anfield was forgotten almost instantly.

Scott Carson
The journeyman goalkeeper who currently warms the bench at Manchester City is technically a Champions League winner, having been backup to Jerzey Dudek in Liverpool’s 2005 run to victory when he was a teenager.
Carson made nine appearances in two seasons, including a Champions League quarter-final, before going on to play for eight more clubs during his long career.
The 37-year-old later revealed that he tried to give his winners medal to second-choice goalkeeper Chris Kirkland after the final in Istanbul, where he was an unused substitute.
“When we got the medals, I tried to give mine to Chris,” Carson told The Guardian in March 2022. “He played more games in the group stages than me. So I felt that he deserved it more.
“But Chris, as anyone who knows him will say, is a really nice lad and he said: ‘No. You were on the bench, you played your part as well.’
“I’m delighted I’ve got it, but a medal is a lot more valuable to you if you played. For me, just to witness that night was good enough.”
