Former Liverpool scout Alex Miller has opened up about players who the Reds could have signed over the years and among them are three Champions League winners.
Though it is well-known that Liverpool failed to agree on a deal for a young Cristiano Ronaldo whilst Gerard Houlier was the clubs manager, there are also other match-winners who could have ended up at the Kop.
Among them also include Gerard Pique, Petr Cech and John Terry.
Miller who worked as a scout for nearly a decade at Anfield has spoken out about players who were once on the clubs radar, saying: "I looked at Gerard Pique and I tried to get him. The Spanish delegation he was with at a youth tournament, I think it was his grandfather who was the delegate for the Spanish federation.
"Well he wouldn't give me permission because I think Man United were already in at that point.
"I brought Cristiano Ronaldo (as a suggestion). That's water under the bridge, but I recommended him and saw him at a youth tournament."
The Scot added: "I tried to get John Terry to come. It was 2003 when Chelsea beat Liverpool for the last place in the Champions League.
"It went to the final day and they beat us at Stamford Bridge. After the game I went to speak to John Terry to try and get him. How I did it was, I went up to him in the corridor and asked him for his autograph. He said yes. As he was signing it I said: 'Could you put your mobile phone number? Gerard Houllier would like to talk to you'.
"He put his agent's number and said to talk to him. Gerard Houllier spoke to his agent on the bus. I think he just used us to get more money out of Chelsea.
"I also had Petr Cech, but at that moment in time we were trying to sign Chris Kirkland. I went to a game to watch Milan Baros and Petr Cech was making his debut.
"I then went to Argentina, I think it was in 2001, the Under-20 World Cup. You could have got him for a song. He was with Chmel Blsany and then he moved to Sparta Prague and then he moved to France."
