Past playersAlexander Doni

The Brazilian had spent six years at the Stadio Olimpico before making the switch to Merseyside; however, he would have to wait until April 2012 to make his Reds debut.

When Pepe Reina was shown a red card against Newcastle United on April 1, 2012, Liverpool had already used all three of their allocated substitutes - and so left-back Jose Enrique took up position between the sticks at St. James' Park instead of Doni, who remained on the bench.

A week later, he was handed his full debut, stepping in for Reina as Liverpool played out a 1-1 draw against Aston Villa at Anfield.

In the following game, against Blackburn Rovers at Ewood Park, he would once again deputise for the suspended Spaniard; however, Doni was shown a straight red card for a foul in the 25th minute. It meant he missed the Reds' FA Cup semi-final win over Everton at Wembley.

Doni played two more games for the club. The first was a 1-0 home defeat by Fulham on May 2, 2012, and his final game came on the last day of the 2011-12 season as Dalglish's side slipped to a 1-0 loss against Swansea City.

In January 2013, he departed to join Brazilian side Botafogo SP.
