4. Ray Clemence and Emlyn Hughes

We have two Liverpool legends tied at 4th position with 665 appearances for Liverpool. Ray Clemence and Emlyn Hughes played together at times in that impressive backline of a champion Liverpool squad during the 1970s.

Both of them joined Liverpool in 1967 from Scunthorpe United and Blackpool respectively. While Ray Clemence established himself as one of the best keepers in Europe, Hughes became one of the best centre-backs to ever play for Liverpool. Both players guided Liverpool to several trophies during the 1970s. These included a few league titles and European Cups in their golden era.

Hughes became the first Liverpool captain to lift the European Cup, doing so in 1977. Hughes left Liverpool in 1979 for Wolves while Clemence left in 1981 for Tottenham, a move which took him to the next step of his already impressive career. Clemence is one of the few players in football’s world history to have played over 1000 professional matches in total.

Both Hughes and Clemence were regulars for England during their international careers. Hughes made 62 appearances for England from 1969-1980 while Clemence made 61 appearances from 1972-1983 before being outcasted by another England great Peter Shilton. Hughes was a part of England’s squads for the 1970 World Cup and Euro 1980 while Clemence featured in England’s squads for Euro 1980 and the 1982 World Cup.

3. Steven Gerrard

Perhaps Liverpool’s greatest footballer ever, Steven Gerrard joined Liverpool’s youth team in 1989 and played there until he joined the senior team in 1998.

Gerrard made 710 appearances for Liverpool till 2015, scoring 186 goals. He guided Liverpool to several titles during his career, leading them to Champions League glory in 2005 single handedly. The midfielder was the Man of the Match in the memorable final at Istanbul where his team made a comeback from 3-0 down thanks to inspiration from Gerrard.

Gerrard left Liverpool in 2015 to join LA Galaxy where he played till 2016 before announcing his retirement from professional football. Gerrard also made 114 appearances for England from 2000-2014, scoring 21 goals. He featured in four World Cups and three Euros for England.

2. Jamie Carragher

Like Gerrard, Carragher was also a one-club footballer, spending his entire playing career at Anfield. Carragher joined Liverpool’s youth setup in 1988 and joined the senior team in 1996.

He started as a full-back but later became a centre-back and one of the finest in the Premier League. This was thanks to Rafa Benitez who realised the potential of Carragher as a world class centre back.

Carragher developed a strong partnership in central defence with Sami Hyypia, something which helped the Reds in lifting the Champions League in 2005. He won a total of 11 trophies whilst at Liverpool.

Carragher announced his retirement from football in 2013 with 737 appearances for Liverpool to his name. Carragher also made 38 appearances for England from 1998-2010. However, his international career never really took off due to the presence of John Terry and Rio Ferdinand.

1. Ian Callaghan

One of the best England midfielders of all-time, Callaghan is the leader in appearances for Liverpool. He joined Liverpool in 1959 at the age of just 17 and played for the Reds for almost two decades.

Callaghan was brought in by Bill Shankly and helped Liverpool gain promotion to the First Division in 1962. He won a total of 17 trophies with Liverpool during his time there.

Callaghan left Liverpool in 1978 with 857 appearances and 68 goals to his name. Ian Callaghan also made 4 appearances for England and was also a part of the squad that won the World Cup in 1966. Callaghan retired from football in 1981.
