Nice pic.

... and hardly an ounce of body fat between them, the buggers.

Luis Garcia
Attacking Midfielder

Another fan favorite, "Little" Luis Garcia was a utility attacking player brought in by Rafa Benitez around the same time as fellow Spaniard Xabi Alonso. Garcia was known for being frustratingly inconsistent and incredibly talented. While he didn't have a huge stand out part to play in the 2005 Champions League Final, he did play a huge role in the knockout stages scoring two vital goals. His first, a tremendous volley from distance beating then best keeper in the world Gigi Buffon. His second, the only goal in the Semi-finals against Chelsea. He toe poked it just over the line.

Two years later, Garcia asked to leave the club on good terms. Which he did. Liverpool sold Garcia to Atletico Madrid. When he left, Garcia wrote a heart-felt letter to all Liverpool supporters thanking them for the support they showed him. Supporters still remember "Little" Luis and think back fondly on some of his best moments, goals, and skills.

Garcia has been at Atletico for two seasons and has mustered some 40-odd appearances. He appeared against Liverpool in both matches when the two teams met in the Champions League group stages.
