Liverpool supporters have watched Joe Gomez turn from boy to man in his 11 years at the club.
Currently the longest-serving member in the squad, the talented defender has had incredible highs and lows during his Anfield career.
Having joined from Charlton Athletic in 2015, the 18-year-old Gomez was thrust into Premier League action from the outset by Brendan Rodgers – initially as a left-back, the first of many positions he would operate in.
Gomez’s qualities have seen him entrusted everywhere across the back line and even as a defensive midfielder.
His story as a Red cannot be told without the injury hardships he has emerged stronger from.
Gomez’s debut season on Merseyside was cut short by a serious knee injury a few days after Jurgen Klopp had taken charge. There was also a lower-leg fracture in 2018 and another knee issue in 2020 that forced other long-lasting spells on the sidelines.
But each time Gomez overcame such adversity to return and play a part in delivering success to Liverpool.
He appeared nine times in the Champions League en route to glory in 2019 and then made 28 Premier League outings, shining alongside Virgil van Dijk in central defence, when the club’s 30-year wait for a top-flight crown was ended in 2019-20.
