#1 Luis Suarez
Luis Suarez's time at Liverpool was an extremely interesting one. It was filled with controversy and brilliance but in the end, one outweighed the other. The Uruguayan star signed for Liverpool alongside Andy Carroll. The English striker got most of the attention but on the pitch, it would be the absolute opposite. Suarez helped Liverpool rise from the ruins that Roy Hodgson left them in. He was their main threat heading into 2011-12 with Kenny Dalglish continuing on as the Reds manager.

Suarez would blow hot an cold throughout the season as he was involved in an ugly saga which took over the core of his season. He was accused of racially abusing Manchester United's Patrice Evra and got banned for eight games. Once he returned, he was in the news again for allegedly refusing to shake Evra's hand before the Reds' return game against United. Suarez would end the season on a high as he scored a terrific hat-trick against Norwich, a club that he would destroy every time he played against them.
The former Ajax hotshot enjoyed a much better season in 2012-13 as he scored 30 goals in all competitions, including some unbelievable strikes against Newcastle United and Zenit St Petersburg. But his end to the season was bitten off as he was banned for ten games because he bit Chelsea's Branislav Ivanovic during a match against Chelsea at Anfield. That game illustrated the good and bad sides of Luis Suarez like nothing else as after somehow avoiding a red card for biting, he scored a 97th-minute equaliser to save the game for Liverpool.
That summer he wanted to leave and was desperate to do so. However, Steven Gerrard helped to convince the Reds' star player to stay put for at least one more season. And it was the right decision. Suarez enjoyed an unbelievably fantastic season as he scored a then-joint record of 31 goals in the Premier League, despite missing the first five games due to suspension. The Uruguayan was consistently phenomenal as he came close to driving Liverpool all the way to the Premier League crown, but it all ended in tears for him.
After another biting incident at the World Cup in 2014, Suarez ended up getting a move to Barcelona. The Reds received £75 million for him but could not find a way to replace him in any way. Suarez has been constantly missed at Anfield until the combined strikeforce of Salah, Firmino and Mane took England and Europe by storm. Not in a very long time did Liverpool see an individual striker so ridiculously talented and complete. He was one-of-a-kind. Luis Suarez might have had his downside. But it was all worth it because he was just that damn good.
