Liverpool have confirmed new signing James Milner will wear the number 7 shirt following his move from Manchester City.

Luis Suarez was the last to wear the jersey number at Anfield while others include Kevin Keegan, Kenny Dalglish, Michael Owen, Robbie Fowler, Ian Rush and Fernando Torres.

The 29-year-old intends to keep the legacy going, telling the club's official website: "I was seven at Man City, but at a club like Liverpool you can wear any number on the squad and it'll have been filled with amazing players who have worn it before."

He added: "I know seven is a special number for this football club and hopefully I can be a special player for this club. But as I said, with the success this club has had over its history, you could pick any single number from the squad list and you'll be wearing a special shirt. Hopefully I can do the shirt proud and win plenty of matches for this football club."
