Find all of the information that you need on the Liverpool squad numbers ahead of the 2024/25 Premier League season and which Reds shirts are currently still free to take.

A raft of Liverpool legends have become synonymous with particular shirts since long before players selected unique squad numbers. It was not until the 1993/94 Premier League season that squad numbers became the rule and the use of setting them by positions was scrapped.

Few squad numbers in the modern part of Liverpool’s history also hold more significance at Anfield than the #8 shirt Steven Gerrard wore. The midfielder was already largely associated with #28 and #17 from his emergence before lifting the Champions League title in 2004/05.

Gerrard was not the first Liverpool hero to adopt the #8 shirt as his squad number but made an ever-lasting impact in it. Modern heroes like Trent Alexander-Arnold are also forging their own history at Liverpool whilst wearing squad numbers now synonymous with their names.

So, with that in mind, Rousing The Kop has taken a look at everything that you need to know about Liverpool’s squad number history and their kit numbers for the 24/25 season as they stand. Highlighted are some of the most memorable and recent players to wear each jersey.

Liverpool awarded Dominik Szoboszlai the #8 jersey after his arrival from RB Leipzig in 2023 and big shoes to fill with the squad number. Gerrard made it iconic on Merseyside as one of their greatest academy products and captains yet, lifting a Champions League title in it, too.

10 – Alexis Mac Allister

Previously worn by: Sadio Mane, Philippe Coutinho, Michael Owen, John Barnes, Jimmy Melia

Midfielder Alexis Mac Allister wears the #10 Liverpool shirt today but the squad number was once synonymous with their iconic strikers. John Barnes made the shirt sought-after around the world before Michael Owen took it over as one of the Reds’ greatest ever No9s to date.

63 – Owen Beck

Previously worn by: Ben Winterbottom, Conor Masterson

66 – Trent Alexander-Arnold

Previously worn by: N/A

Alexander-Arnold has made the #66 Liverpool shirt extremely popular yet his squad number carries no significant meaning. He only became the first Reds player to wear the jersey after Lee Radcliffe, the kit management coordinator, gave him it after first joining the senior team.

“When we get any young lads that come down from the academy, we always deliberately try to give them a high-ish number,” Radcliffe explained back in April 2020. “We don’t like to give them a low number in case they sort of think they’ve made it straight away.”
