Yossi Benayoun: It was a privilege to play for Liverpool

Yossi Benayoun considers it a privilege to have played for Liverpool.

The former playmaker made 134 appearances during his three-year spell at Anfield between 2007 and 2010, scoring 29 goals.

A popular figure with Reds fans, Benayoun memorably nodded in the only goal in a Champions League last-16 victory over Real Madrid at the Bernabeu and then, just over month later, smashed in a late, late winner at Fulham to maintain his side’s bid for the 2008-09 Premier League title.

The ex-Israel captain also achieved the feat of becoming the first player to notch hat-tricks in the Premier League, Champions League and FA Cup – and he has nothing but fond memories of his time with the club.
