Spanish winger Albert Riera spent two years at Anfield after being signed by Rafael Benitez from Espanyol in September 2008.
The left sider had a point to prove in English football following an unspectacular loan spell at Man City in 2005-06 - and he wasted no time trying to convince the Kop.
An impressive debut in a 2-1 victory over Man Utd on September 13, 2008 was followed a few weeks later with a first goal against Wigan Athletic.
But ultimately Riera's time in L4 proved disappointing.
A lack of first-team opportunities in 2009-10 prompted an unsavoury spat with Benitez and a transfer was inevitable.
His move to Olympiacos was sanctioned by new boss Roy Hodgson in July 2010.
