Kenny Dalglish has been named as the greatest striker British football has seen since the Second World War by Four Four Two magazine.

The iconic Scot beat off competition from Eric Cantona, Thierry Henry, Jimmy Greaves and John Charles to land the prestigious accolade in February's edition of the publication.

A further nine Liverpool players were included in the overall top 50, with Ian Rush the Reds' second highest on the list in seventh position.

Kevin Keegan was next in 20^th, followed by 'Sir' Roger Hunt at 24.

Current Anfield star Fernando Torres landed 29^th position, just ahead of John Toshack (31), Michael Owen (33) and Billy Liddell (36).

The man known as 'God' on the Kop, Robbie Fowler, came in 41^st place and John Aldridge completed Liverpool's presence in the half century by securing 48^th.

Each player on the shortlist was rated out of ten in four categories: their goals return, how prolific they were at their peak, and how long that peak extended; their ability to turn it on in big games; their effectiveness in winning trophies and awards, taking into account that trophies tend to be more concentrated at a handful of clubs in the modern era; and the work they did for the team.

Then, Four Four Two ranked each player out of 20 for their 'wow' factor - what made them stand out and how they delighted and entertained fans.
