1. Ryan Babel /// 146 appearances /// 22 goals /// 1 #Babelcopter

Before we get into his time at Liverpool, it must be said what he’s up to now: getting paid to do nothing. He’s under contract through 2017 with United Arab Emirates side Al Ain and is currently just told to stay away from the team after breaking their social media policy and other disciplinary infractions.

Before we get into his on-field exploits at Liverpool, it must be said what he’s most remembered for: #Babelcopter. There was a story that on deadline day in 2010, Babel took a helicopter to London to secure a transfer to an unspecified London club. He never made a move.

Oh, Ryan Babel.

It’s insane he’s got to be the most successful number 19 in Liverpool’s history compared to the other garbage behind him on this list.

Sadio Mane, you’ve chosen a number with the least amount of expectations. Solid choice, but you’ve got to break this trend.
