1) Paul Stewart
Stewart played as a forward throughout the 80s and 90s and was signed by Liverpool from Tottenham in 1992 after spells at Blackpool and Manchester City.
Injuries and form plagued his career, and a certain Ian Rush, Stewart could never get firing at Anfield and even so with the emergence of Robbie Fowler.
He was loaned out four times, with one of them being Burnley in 1995 but he only played six times failing to score. He played 42 times in the league but only managed the three goals for the Reds and left on a free to Sunderland in 1996.
2) Jon Flanagan
The fullback started his career at Liverpool making his debut in the 2010/11 season but never cemented a place in the side until the 2013/14 season.
An injury to Jose Enrique made way for Flanagan to nail down the left back spot for the Reds and some solid defensive performances that season Liverpool finished second.
However, injuries plagued his next seasons for Liverpool and Flanagan could never find his form again - he was loaned out to Burnley for the 2016/17 season but only managed 10 games that season for the Clarets.
Flanagan left Liverpool in 2018 on a free and signed for former teammate Steven Gerrard at Liverpool were he lasted two seasons, he currently plays for Royal Charleroi in Belgium.

Injuries plagued his time at Liverpool and he could not become the striker the Reds thought they signed, playing only 25 times and scoring four times during his three seasons with Liverpool.
He was loaned to Southampton for the 2018/19 campaign were he impressed and he signed permanently the season after for £18million - he has done incredibly well for Southampton scoring 40 goals in 81 games at the time of writing. The one that got away for Liverpool.
4) Peter Crouch
Crouch started his career at Tottenham and went to play for a Plethora of different clubs before landing at Liverpool in 2005 after the Reds had won the Champions League.

He moved to Portsmouth, Tottenham and had 8 seasons at Stoke before his move to Burnley half a season after Stoke's relegation to the Championship.
Crouchy had one more crack at the Premier League with Burnley in 2018/19 but only played six times, failing to score and he retired after the end of that campaign.
