List of Liverpool F.C. players

Liverpool Football Club are an English professional association football club based in Liverpool, Merseyside, who currently play in the Premier League. They have played at their current home ground, Anfield, since their foundation in 1892. Liverpool entered the Lancashire League in their first season, winning the league. The club applied to The Football League, to become members of the Second Division in the following season, their application was accepted. Since that time the club's first team has competed in numerous nationally and internationally-organised competitions. Since playing their first competitive match, more than 800 players have made a competitive first-team appearance for the club, of whom almost 200 players have made at least 100 appearances (including substitute appearances); those players are listed here.

Liverpool's record appearance-maker is Ian Callaghan, who made 856 appearances between 1958 and 1978. Current player Jamie Carragher has made the second most appearances with 681. Seven other players have made more than 600 appearances for the club, every one of them being part of at least one European Cup winning team from the 1970s or 80s. Ian Rush is the club's record goalscorer; he scored 346 goals in his 16 years at Liverpool. Rush is the only player to score more than 300 goals for Liverpool; only three other players have score more than 200 goals for the club.

In 2006, a list of 100 players, known as "100 Players who Shook the Kop" was compiled by LFC TV as the result of a fan survey: "Over 110,000 supporters all nominated their own personal Top 10 players in order of impact made".^[1] Kenny Dalglish finished top of the list, with Steven Gerrard second and Ian Rush third. The highest-placed "overseas player" on the list was Danish midfielder Jan Mølby, at 16th.^[2]
