    Antonio Nunez became Rafael Benitez's second signing since taking over as Liverpool manager when he arrived at Anfield in August 2004 as part of Michael Owen's transfer to Real Madrid.

    After a nightmare start to his Reds career due to a knee injury picked up in training, Nunez made his debut coming on as a substitute in the 2-1 win over Arsenal in November 2004.

    The Spaniard scored his only goal for the club in the Carling Cup final defeat by Chelsea at Cardiff's Millennium Stadium that season.

    He played a part in Liverpool's Champions League success, including appearances in the famous European nights at Anfield against Olympiacos and Chelsea, and was an unused substitute in the dramatic final victory over AC Milan in Istanbul.

    Nunez left Liverpool to return to Spain with Celta Vigo at the start of August 2005 after just one season at Anfield.
