10. Jordan Rossiter
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xa4FGWaFKpM Jordan Rossiter has scored for Liverpool and was born in 1997. If that doesnt make some of you more seasoned readers feel old and wizened, nothing will. The 17 year old was an unknown outside of Merseyside quarters when he was handed a debut for the first-team against Middlesbrough in a Capital One Cup tie in September. The teenager - who was eight years old when Steven Gerrard held aloft the European Cup in Istanbul - swept home the opener from 25 yards after a shot was parried by Middlesbrough goalkeeper Nathan Blackman. It was a huge moment on a momentous occasion for the boy, and he duly wheeled away in sheer delirium. The game finished 2-2 after extra-time, but the Reds progressed to the next round courtesy of a bizarre 14-13 penalty shoot-out in which several players were forced to step up to the spot twice. The tie will be remembered for a crazy shoot-out that seemed like it would never end, but for Rossiter, it is a game that will understandably live in the memory for an entirely different reason.
