Leaving Liverpool, its never a good idea, but who actually got success elsewhere?

[Jairzinho]

Arbeloa. 

 

After leaving us he won the league, the cup, super cup, European super cup, Champions league, FIFA world club cup, the Euros, and the World cup. 

[Jairzinho]

Dudek. 

 

After leaving us he won the 2013 Class 2 Championship of the German Touring Car Masters.

Chris Kirkland won the Wigan Athletic players player of the year in 07/08.

Just once? 
 

Lucas was Lazio’s player of the year twice in a row, while leading them to the Coppa Italia and two supercups.

I spot a pattern here, it can only mean one thing.

[Carvalho Diablo]

Jordy Hendershot's career has gone from strength to strength; from his earth shattering move to Asian powerhouse Al Etifuq and bringing the gays into line, onto the mighty Ajax of Amsterdam, where he's currently blowing the Dutch league apart with 0 goals, 0 assists and 0 good stuff.

[Gruntfuttock]

Graeme Souness ? Probably made more money in Italy than staying here,but his loss cost us more in 1984/85.

Ray Clemence picked up  FA Cup and UEFA Cup winners medals with Spurs. Small pickings after what he won with us but still.

Clemence is a poor example because we won shitloads after he left,even a League Cup Final in which he played against us.

[Remmie]

Has no one said Suso yet? To be honest I just know he was playing for AC Milan in Europe, not too sure how successfully

[JohnnyH]

Trent will when he moves to Madrid *taps nose

[Code]

Aspas, Solanke, Alberto etc have done okay at lesser clubs, but we have not missed them.

Yea Lucas is a decent shout. I think the Italian league suited him anyway and that was especially true after that knee injury took his athleticism down a notch from what it needed to be as a premier league regular. Hard to say we missed him as Henderson basically took on that same role but I always rated Lucas. Will always wonder what would’ve been if that goal went in during the derby when Phil Neville decided to play keeper. 

[YorkshireRed]

I’m sat looking at the Tyne Bridge from my hotel bedroom window so I’ll throw Peter Beardsley into the mix. 
 

His Everton experience was mixed, however he had a very successful second spell up here (as a player anyway). Not in terms of trophies maybe, but he was adored as a player in these parts.

[Trumo]

Believe it or not, David James. He won the League Cup with us and was a regular under Evans, but he left and was a regular for various clubs, was England's No1 for a few years, and won the FA Cup with Portsmouth.

[VladimirIlyich]

Arbeloa? Has anybody said him? Eight major titles including a world cup.

I don't know about the other two, but Solanke has had a fair few years of mediocrity before catching fire this season.

My guess...

 

Lucas would have been a cult hero and his substitute appearances the following season would have been met with cheers rather than groans; the big question is whether that improved atmosphere would have been enough to convert a couple of those disappointing draws of 2008/09 into wins.

Not fantastically. He was decent at AC Milan, but has been blighted with injuries at Sevilla.

Souness finished 4th and 11th with Sampdoria, he won Coppa Italia in 84/85 though, but he’s not making my list. 
 

Keegan won the Bundesliga in 78/79 and reached the European Cup final in 79/80, while winning Ballon d’Or in 1978 and 1979, and got voted Players Player of the year in  81/82 when playing for Soton. 
Im reluctant to add him, so some of the other players mentioned here obviously should not even be close. 

[Trumo]

Matt Busby. Won fuck-all in a Liverpool playing career that basically spanned the WW2 period. Left in 1945 to go to the Mancs and become a managerial legend for them.

[Red Hot]

Kevin Sheedy, such a shame we let him go.

Similarly, Jimmy Case managed to prolong his career beyond expectation after leaving us, and arguably became a better player at Brighton and then Southampton.  Certainly more influential. 

[Shitty Arse]

One obvious one. Kenny as a manager who left and then went on to win the league again with Blackburn Rovers. 

[Megadrive Man]

Nobody has mentioned Raheem Sterling cheating his way to four league titles yet.
