Team Legend – Xabi Alonso
Midfielder Xabi Alonso was a true Kop favourite with a reputation as one of the best passers in the game. Alonso made his debut at Bolton's Reebok Stadium on August 29, 2004. Two months later he put in a dazzling performance against Fulham at Craven Cottage which had Kopites purring. With the Reds 2-0 down at half-time, Benitez threw on his new boy. The midfielder duly inspired a miraculous comeback, with the game ending 2-4.
