7. Luis García
Barry Coombs/EMPICS SportWe guess left wingers have a thing for peaking whilst they played for Liverpool and then seeing their football career go down the pan, because that's exactly what happened to Luis García, too. Having never made it to Barcelona's A team, despite starting off in their prestigious academy, García instead parlayed his skilfull, dedicated style of play into a series of loans from Barca's B team, a respectable year at Camp Nou that saw Atletico Madrid ending second place in the league, and finally a move to Anfield. Originally intended as a stand-in for El Hadji Diouf, García soon proved himself to be so much more, becoming a key part of Liverpool's attacking force, scoring seven goals in the 2004-2005 season, including the winner in the year's Merseyside derby. He was a vital part of that aforementioned Champion's League winning team, scoring the infamous "ghost goal" against Chelsea that kept Jose Mourinho up at night for months after. García made less of an impact for the next couple of years, and suffered a major injury to his ACL in 2007. Still, he was a fan favourite, inspiring one of our favourite chants from the Kop: "Luis García, he drinks Sangria! He came from Barça to bring us joy! He's five foot seven, he's football heaven; So please don't take our Luis away!" Unfortunately, he did go away, returning to Madrid where he rarely made the starting eleven. He bounced around to Racing de Santander, Panathinaikos, and Puebla before retiring after an unremarkable season with Pumas UNAM, aged 35. He never had it as good as at Anfield.
