But before the overseas success of USA-born players like Christian Pulisic, Weston McKennie, and Tyler Adams, the journey of Americans leaving their mark at Liverpool has been scarce, with only three significant names coming to the forefront of that long and decorated timeline: Hugh Lester, Brad Friedel, and Zak Whitbread.

For Liverpool, a club synonymous with global appeal, deep-rooted trophy history, and subcultures of international fan bases, it's surprising to see so few American representatives.



Position: Full-back Years: 1911-1913 Appearances: 2 Place of Birth: Lehigh, Iowa

Lester played for Liverpool during the early 20th century and was one of the first Americans to step into the world of British football.

He failed to register a goal or assist during his time and only played the sport for two more seasons before retiring.

The most recognizable American to have suited up for Liverpool is undoubtedly Brad Friedel, the goalkeeper who arrived at the club in 1997 from the MLS club, the Columbus Crew

He made just 25 appearances for the club across two seasons and played 2,250 minutes in the red shirt.

After departing from Anfield’s high standards, Friedel would later establish himself as one of the league’s most dependable shot-stoppers with Blackburn Rovers, Aston Villa, and Tottenham Hotspur
