#3 Fabio Aurelio
He is often a forgotten man when it comes to former Liverpool players, but Fabio Aurelio sits pretty near the top of this list. Despite having multiple injuries at Liverpool, he made 134 appearances for the Reds. Perhaps people tend to forget him because he was never a star at the time. The Brazilian played in a team with the likes of Fernando Torres, Xabi Alonso and Dirk Kuyt, which is maybe why he hasn't been looked at as one of Liverpool's key players.
Aurelio was the first ever Brazilian to play for Liverpool, as he signed from Valencia in 2006. He was not exactly a pacy full-back, but he made up for it with excellent positional and tactical awareness. He was one of Rafa Benitez's most efficient players during his reign as manager on Merseyside. He was a solid hand, as he had helped Benitez's Valencia side to win two La Liga titles. His departure from Liverpool actually sparked the recently concluded left-back crisis.
His best moment came when he smashed home a free-kick at Old Trafford en route to a 4-1 victory over title rivals Manchester United. His stunning set-piece at Stamford Bridge also sticks out as he caught everybody off guard, especially Petr Cech, to squeeze home an extremely innovative goal. Injuries robbed him from having a much more fruitful time at Liverpool, but he will always remain the first ever Brazilian to play for the club.
