No.26: Andy Robertson

It has long been said that any successful Reds team requires a Scot within it, and in the whirling No.26 on the left flank they discovered one of the best ever to pitch up at Anfield from north of the border. “Life at this age is rubbish with no money,” Robertson, then 18, posted on social media late one night in August 2012. Within seven years, he was a Champions League winner with Liverpool. A lung-busting, crowd-rousing press up the pitch amid a 4-3 thriller with Manchester City in January 2018 captured Kopites’ hearts as Robertson began to exhibit his wide range of qualities and helped Klopp’s men reach the Champions League final.

Andy Robertson helped redefine the role of a full-back and was a pillar of Liverpool’s modern-day successes during an unforgettable nine years at the club.

It has long been said that any successful Reds team requires a Scot within it, and in the whirling No.26 on the left flank they discovered one of the best ever to pitch up at Anfield from north of the border.

“Life at this age is rubbish with no money,” Robertson, then 18, posted on social media late one night in August 2012. “#needajob”.

Within seven years, he was a Champions League winner with Liverpool.

Released by boyhood team Celtic, a journey via Queen’s Park, Dundee United and Hull City brought the determined defender to Merseyside in 2017 – in truth, with sober fanfare.

He featured little during his opening half-season under Jürgen Klopp, too, but having finally broken into the XI around the turn of the year, owned the position thereafter.

A lung-busting, crowd-rousing press up the pitch amid a 4-3 thriller with Manchester City in January 2018 captured Kopites’ hearts as Robertson began to exhibit his wide range of qualities and helped Klopp’s men reach the Champions League final.

Vigilant and disciplined when protecting his own box, the left-back was a huge threat when attacking the opposition’s, haring up and down, up and down, up and down the touchline.

He featured 97 times and set up 25 goals across the 2018-19 and 2019-20 seasons, which saw Liverpool accumulate 196 Premier League points, lift the European Cup, end the club’s 30-year wait for a league title and be crowned world champions for the first time in history.

Life was certainly not rubbish anymore.
