List of Liverpool F.C. players (25–99 appearances)

Liverpool Football Club is an English association football club based in Liverpool, Merseyside. The club was formed in 1892 following a disagreement between the board of Everton and club president John Houlding, who owned the club's ground, Anfield. The disagreement between the two parties over rent resulted in Everton moving to Goodison Park from Anfield, which left Houlding with an empty stadium. Thus, he founded Liverpool F.C. to play in the empty stadium. Liverpool won the First Division title for the first time in 1901; since then, the club has won a further 19 league titles, along with eight FA Cups and ten League Cups. They have also been crowned champions of European football on six occasions, winning the European Cup/UEFA Champions League in 1977, 1978, 1981, 1984, 2005 and 2019. The club was one of 22 members of the Premier League when it was formed in 1992. They experienced the most successful period in their history under the management of Bob Paisley, who guided the team to 21 trophies in nine seasons.
Since playing their first match, more than 700 players have appeared in competitive first-team matches for the club, many of whom have played between 25 and 99 matches (including substitute appearances). Jim Beglin, Álvaro Arbeloa and Thiago Alcântara made 98 appearances for the club, before an injury to Beglin, Arbeloa's sale to Real Madrid and Thiago's release ended their Liverpool careers. Ned Doig who appeared 53 times for the club, is the oldest player to have played for Liverpool. He was 41 years and 165 days when he played against Newcastle United on 11 April 1908. Frank Becton, who made 86 appearances for Liverpool, was the first player from the club to represent his country, when he played for England in 1897.
210 players have played between 25 and 99 competitive matches for the club. Of those players, 8 still play for the club and can add to their total.
