4. Jerzy Dudek
Mike Egerton/EMPICS SportYet another member of the 2005 Champion's League dream team, Dudek racked up 186 official games for the club over the course of six seasons with Liverpool, and one of the best goalies we've had in recent years (sorry, Pepe; Mignolet, we'll see). Having began in his home country of Poland with spells at Concordia Knurów - where he set a record of 416 minutes without conceding a goal - and GKS Tychy, he played four seasons at Feyenoord and then settled at Liverpool in 2001. Replacing Sander Westerveld as Gérard Houllier's first choice keeper, Jerzy Dudek kept some clean sheets and performed well enough to be nominated for the UEFA Goalkeeper of the Year award. After a rocky start the next season was a strong one for Dudek too, and by 2005 he was perhaps the most important part of Liverpool's Champions League victory, blocking both of Andriy Shevchenko's attempts on target during extra time and saving shots from Andrea Pirlo and Shevchenko during the ensuing penalty shootout, thanks partially to some classic Grobbelaar spaghetti legs. Somehow, however, Dudek was dropped in favour of Reina as the team's go-to goalie, and quite rightly raged against Rafa Benitez's decision. So perhaps his departure from Liverpool wasn't surprising, but it was certainly the death knell for his career as a keeper. A move to Real Madrid beckoned, but he only managed to play in two games, again being the back-up choice behind Iker Casillas. He was, technically, signed to the club for four years but made no further appearances, retiring from the sport completely in 2011. Dudek went out with a whimper, rather than a bang. Perhaps if he'd stayed at Anfield, it might've been different.
