Peter Gulacsi, a member of the RB Leipzig team that earned an unprecedented promotion to the Bundesliga in 2016, was bought by Liverpool as a teenager in 2007 from MTK Budapest.

Gulacsi was at Liverpool for six years and did not make a single first-team appearance. Eventually, the Hungarian left Anfield on a free transfer in 2013 following series of loan spells with lower division clubs.

His career revival from a third choice goalkeeper at Anfield to a Champions League and Europa League starter for Die Rotten Bullen has truly been a dream come true for the player who at one point of time looked sure to go down as one of the many young talents who never realized their potential.

This season, he has been an impenetrable wall at the back of Leipzig defence, having kept 6 clean sheets in 11 league matches and shipping in only 9 goals in the process.

Last season, the reputed German magazine, Kicker voted him as the best in the business for the first half of the season, ahead of the likes of Horn, Casteels and Baumann.
