(VIDEO) Sturridge's top 3 Liverpool goals and why he didn't become a club legend

One of the most talented players to come through in our modern Liverpool era is undoubtedly Daniel Sturridge, who thrilled all the club's fans at the peak of his career with the Reds, as many believed we were looking at one of the club's next legends and perhaps a player who would lead us back to winning the major titles that had eluded us at the time.

Sturridge, who played as a winger for our Liverpool, had fantastic conditions and a great talent that even led him to play in the Brazil 2014 World Cup. Speedy, agile, a good finisher and with goalscoring ability, Daniel Sturridge was undoubtedly one of the great jewels of our Liverpool during his time at the club from 2013 to 2019, however his career took an unexpected turn a few years after leaving the club.

Sturridge's departure from Anfield surprised many, but Jürgen Klopp seemed to have his reasons for no longer counting on him and boy was the German tactician right, because although Sturridge was part of the squad that won the Champions League title in 2019, that same summer he left the team and just a couple of years later, he was suspended by FIFA for illegal betting, which resulted in Sturridge not being able to play for over a year, and since then he was never the same player again.

Currently, although he is not officially retired as a professional, he has not had a team since 2022 and now his new job is as an analyst and commentator for Sky Sports. Today, on his birthday, we are going to look at three of the best goals Sturridge scored for Liverpool, which show the enormous quality he had.
