Formidable attacker returning to Liverpool is now inevitable An attacker returning to Liverpool is now inevitable. During the rich history of the club, the Reds have rarely brought back former players. It tends to be the case that when you leave Anfield, that chapter is closed forever .
But not for everyone. There have been notable exceptions. Ian Rush has probably been the most famous example after the Reds brought him back from his time at Juventus.
He went onto become the most prolific goalscorer in the club's history spending a fair few years on Merseyside before leaving the club again. Steve Staunton is another player who was re-signed after he left the club in 1991. He returned seven years later and spent two more seasons at Anfield.
More recently, Robbie Fowler made a return from Manchester City under Rafa Benitez and Craig Bellamy came back on a free transfer after spending the previous season at Cardiff City in the Premier League. Notice a pattern here? They tended to be attackers, and half of them have been Welsh.
