Finish striker, Jari Litmanen, kissed Liverpool’s badge a few months after signing for them in a 1-0 win over Tottenham Hotspur where he scored the only goal…

“We have signed a world class player,” said Gerard Houllier. “He comes with a reputation which needs no improvement. He is one of the most exciting signings Liverpool have ever made. Jari knows all about Liverpool. He is a fan of the club and he wanted to play for us.”

Litmanen was sold after 18 months to Ajax after scoring 9 goals in 43 games in all competitions. Now aged 41, he plays for the Finnish club he played for when he was 21, HJK.
