With Liverpool fresh off their Champions League trophy success in Istanbul, the club signed Bolo Zenden on a free transfer from fellow Premier League side Middlesbrough on July 4th, 2005. Zenden had just won the Boro fan's Player of the Season award before departing the North Yorkshire club.
Multiple knee injuries cut Zenden's time at Liverpool short.
