In 2017, a £10m deal for Andy Roberton saw the Scottish full-back sign for Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool. Not only does Robertson leave Anfield as a two-time Premier League champion, he also exits with a Champions League title, the FA Cup, two League Cups, Uefa Super Cup, Fifa Club World Cup and a Community Shield under his belt. Robertson told Radio Merseyside that he's had an "emotional week" as he prepares for the Reds' final game of the season against Brentford at Anfield.

"It is coming around quite quickly, but it has given me a lot of time to reflect and that has been the good part about this. I have been able to look back on amazing memories and the amazing people I have been able to spend it with," he said. From playing in Scotland's fourth tier in 2013 to his Premier League debut with Hull City on the opening day of the 2014-15 campaign, Robertson's rapid rise is truly impressive.

The 32-year-old has helped redefine the role of a full-back and in doing so has accumulated 60 Premier League assists, the second most of all-time by a defender in the Premier League, behind his former teammate Trent Alexander-Arnold.

The ultra-aggressive pressing full-back may be moving on, but the Anfield faithful will always hold Robertson's name in their hearts. "I have always tried to give them my all," he added. "The love that I have been getting is very emotional, and I am very happy that people think of me in that way.
