Alisson Becker, Mohamed Salah and Andy Robertson are among some of the best players in world football, and, as English Premier League and UEFA Champions League winners, are bona fide modern day Liverpool legends.
In the club's latest Reds Roundtable production, all three talked through their favourite moments to date at the Anfield club, and spent a bit of time exploring their pasts, their routes to the top, and their inspirations along the way.
The likes of Ronaldo Nazario, Francesco Totti and Roberto Carlos were all named in the pantheon of superstars that influenced the three Reds in their formative years, while Scotland captain Robertson name-checked Celtic all-timer Henrik Larsson.

When asked about his football heroes growing up, Robertson said: "I think when I was really young, probably Henrik Larsson. He was the hero in Scotland, but as my career started moving on it was quite evident that I wasn't going to be a goal-scorer, so I had to shift my inspirations.
"As [Alisson] says, you look at the players in those positions who are the best in the world. I've loved watching Philip Lahm, I loved watching Ashley Cole, you know, the full-back position changed a bit, but I just loved the way they played.
"Roberto Carlos too… [these players] attacked as well as defended, and I always believed that was the best way to do it."
Robertson, of course, was let go by Celtic as a youth player, before spending time at Queen's Park, Dundee United and Hull City, before signing at Anfield in 2017.
In 2019, Robertson helped Liverpool win their sixth European Cup, and, the following year, helped them win their first English Premier League title in 30 years.
