Liverpool FC are indisputably one of the world's and the Premier League's biggest football clubs.
Boasting a storied 134 year history, the Reds are among England's most successful clubs and have won a record-equalling 20 top flight titles.
From all-time top goalscorer and Anfield hero Ian Rush, to the iconic figure of Ian St John; throughout history a number of famous names have worn the iconic number nine shirt at Liverpool, the number usually reserved for the team's main goal-scoring threat.
Here we detail the most recent players to have worn the famed Liverpool number nine shirt.
Swedish forward Alexander Isak is the latest, and current, recipient of the Liverpool number nine shirt. The 27-year-old joined for a British-record £125m from Premier League rivals Newcastle United, but has suffered an injury-strewn start to his Anfield career.
The Swede received the number that was departed by former holder Darwin Nunez; who seemingly found the iconic shirt a heavy burden, and did not quite hit the expected heights during his time with the Reds.
Directly before Nunez, Liverpool's number nine was Roberto Firmino, who enjoyed a successful eight-year stint on Merseyside. The popular Brazilian forward won both the Premier League and UEFA Champions League during his stay at Anfield.
