The official Liverpool all-time top 100 players ranking is being unveiled in reverse order, with Sam Raybould at number 88.

Earlier this year, Liverpool Football Club invited fans, former players, journalists, and a club judging panel to vote and determine the final ranking of the "Liverpool's All-Time Top 100 Players" up to 2026.

The selection criteria were based on the players' individual abilities, influence, historical standing, and achievements during their time at Liverpool.

The reverse countdown list will culminate in a special live broadcast in early July, where the top five and the ultimate winner of the "Greatest Player in Liverpool History" title will be revealed.

Liverpool's All-Time Top 100 Players:

No. 100 - No. 91: Mac Allister, Szoboszlai, Luis García, Jack Cox, Bobby Robinson, Adam Lallana, Lucas Leiva, Curtis Jones, Dick Forshaw, Danny Murphy

No. 90 - No. 81: David Johnson, Jack Parkinson

Liverpool's All-Time Top 100 Players No. 88: Sam Raybould

Years: 1900-1907

Appearances: 226

Goals: 130

Honours: First Division (1900-01, 1905-06), Second Division (1904-05)

Sam Raybould was a star player for Liverpool in the early 20th century, and the first player in the club's history to score 100 goals.

The forward, who joined from New Brighton Tower, reached this historic milestone of 100 goals in just 164 games.

Newspaper reports at the time described him as "a constant menace when in possession of the ball, and an opponent's slip was almost tantamount to a goal."

Under manager Tom Watson, he helped the team win the club's first top-flight league title in the 1900-01 season, scoring a team-high 17 goals.

Then, in the 1902-03 season, he became the first player to score 30 goals for Liverpool in a single season.

Raybould was later banned for seven months for agreeing to a prohibited transfer to Portsmouth, which ultimately fell through.

His absence had a significant impact at Anfield, and his mid-season return could not prevent the team from being relegated to the Second Division.

However, the team quickly returned to the top flight and miraculously won the league title the following year, with Raybould scoring 30 goals across those two seasons.

He made his farewell appearance for the club at the end of the 1906-07 season, concluding his Liverpool career with his 130th goal.

Currently, only 10 players have scored more goals for Liverpool than Raybould.
