How Mohamed Salah became a 40-goal marvel

Throughout Liverpool Football Club’s illustrious 125-year history, supporters have been blessed with countless goalscoring superstars to applaud.

From Sam Raybould, who bagged 120 league goals in the early 20th century, through Harry Chambers and Gordon Hodgson in the 1920s and 1930s, and then onto Billy ‘Liddellpool’ Liddell in the 1950s, top goalscorers are nothing new at Anfield. And that’s before you get to the likes of Hunt, Keegan, Dalglish, Rush, Fowler, Owen, Torres and Suarez.

But has there ever been anyone who has had the same immediate impact as Mohamed Salah?

The record books suggest there hasn’t.
