Liverpool have signed many iconic goalscorers over their history, so Rousing The Kop has taken a look into the 10 record players with the most goals for the Reds of all time.

Some of the most prolific players to ever grace Anfield have even graduated from Liverpool’s academy. Michael Owen became a homegrown hero for club and country with endless goals after his emergence on Merseyside. The striker also won the Ballon d’Or at the Reds in 2001.

But while the likes of Owen learned their trade with Liverpool, the Reds have signed a raft of potent goalscorers, too. Mohamed Salah is the most recent name to get into the top 10 best goalscorers in the history of Liverpool despite the Egyptian becoming a king from their wing.

One of the many Liverpool captains in the Premier League era also features among their top 10 record goalscorers from their midfield in Steven Gerrard. He offered a flurry of legendary strikes from their engine room to help to deliver multiple titles to Liverpool’s trophy cabinet.

So, with that in mind, Rousing The Kop has taken a look into the top 10 record goalscorers of all-time for Liverpool and what their efforts in the final third helped the Anfield side achieve.
