Caoimhin Kelleher is worth his weight in gold for Liverpool, but where does he rank among the Reds’ best goalkeepers of the Premier League era?
With Alisson having succumbed to another injury, Kelleher is having to fill in like last season, and he is performing admirably.
The Irishman is arguably the strongest backup ‘keeper in the country, with Arne Slot the envy of the league when it comes to his deputy.
Here’s where we rank Kelleher among Liverpool’s 10 best stoppers since the Premier League started in 1992.
Chris Kirkland arrived at Liverpool in the summer of 2001 as one of British football’s hottest young players.
He was tipped to be England’s No. 1 for the next decade, and at age 11, his family placed a £90 bet on him playing internationally, which he achieved once in 2006.
Sadly, Kirkland never reached his potential, due in part to bad luck with injuries, and he rarely felt like first-choice, despite moments of quality.
He did start the famous 3-1 win at home to Olympiakos in the Champions League, though.
