Players who have played for both Liverpool and Tottenham

Many of the world’s top footballers have plied their trade at Liverpool or Tottenham at some point of their careers. However, there are a number of players who have played for both these clubs at some time in their careers. So, without any further ado, let’s take a look at the players who have played for both Liverpool and Tottenham.

10. Brad Friedel

One of USA’s finest goalkeepers, Friedel joined Liverpool in 1997 from MLS club Columbus Crew. He played as a second fiddle to David James at the time of his joining.

Despite James departing in 1999, Friedel could not be a starter and became the second-choice keeper to Sander Westerveld. Friedel eventually left Liverpool in 2000 with 30 appearances to his name.

After leaving Anfield, Friedel enjoyed a long stay at Blackburn Rovers whom he helped win the League Cup in 2002. Friedel left Blackburn in 2008 and had a spell at Aston Villa after which, he joined Tottenham Hotspur.

Despite being 40, Friedel was a regular for Spurs in his maiden season, the 2011-12 season and helped the club to 4th place in the Premier League. However, the arrival of Hugo Lloris relegated Friedel to the bench. Friedel eventually retired at Tottenham in 2015 with 67 appearances for the club. During his final days at Tottenham, Friedel was the club’s ambassador to the United States.

9. Robbie Keane

One of the greatest Irish footballers of all-time, Robbie Keane played for both Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur during his playing career.

Keane joined Tottenham from Leeds United in 2002 on a transfer fee of £7 million. The striker played for Spurs till 2008 before joining Liverpool. After half a season at Liverpool, Keane returned to Tottenham and this time played at the club till 2011. Keane made a total of 298 appearances for Spurs, scoring 120 goals and 24 assists. He made only 28 appearances for Liverpool, scoring 7 goals and providing 5 assists.

He joined Tottenham in 2001 but couldn’t establish himself as a regular due to the worsening of his knee issues. Ziege eventually left the club in 2004. The German made a total of 53 appearances for Spurs, scoring 11 goals and providing 3 assists.

7. Ronny Rosenthal

In 1990, Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish wanted some more attacking options to his squad. He decided to borrow Israeli striker Ronny Rosenthal on loan from Standrad Liege. Rosenthal scored 7 goals in 8 matches for Liverpool. This propelled Dalglish to sign him permanently in 1990. However, Rosenthal found it hard to be a regular starter due to the presence of Ian Rush and Peter Beardsley.

Rosenthal eventually left Liverpool in 1994 with 21 goals to his name in 86 appearances. He joined Tottenham Hotspur in 1994 and played there till 1997, scoring only 4 goals in 90 matches.

Walsh joined Tottenham and made 157 appearances for the club, scoring 21 goals. His heavy drinking prevented him from performing to his full potential. In 1991, he punched Spurs’ reserve manager who is at the top of this list. This was the reason why Walsh was kept out of the team. He eventually left Tottenham in 1992.
