The reliable Norwegian
John Riise had no trouble adapting to the English game after spending three seasons at Monaco, where he established himself as an attacking left-back threat.
Liverpool inked the Norwegian stud in the summer of 2001 for £4 million, and he made a constant impact by helping the Reds win the Charity Shield and the European Super Cup.
Although he was an attacking threat, Riise’s defensive skills were exploited once opposing teams discovered his style of play, which led to his Liverpool exit in 2008.
On August 18, 2016, Riise came out of retirement to join Indian Super League club Chennaiyin F.C.
