1892 Malcom McVean
LFC's first-ever game was a friendly against Rotherham Town on 1 September 1892, with Scotsman McVean scoring the first goal in a 7-1 win. He also holds the honour of scoring Liverpool FC's first league goal, in a 2–0 win over Middlesbrough Ironopolis on 2 September 1893.
1903 Sam Raybould
The first Liverpool FC player to score 30 goals in one season, 1902/03. Sam duly went on to become the first player to score 100 league goals for the club, between January 1900 and December 1905.
1923 Harry Chambers
'Smiler' Harry was leading scorer when the Reds won two top-flight titles on the bounce, in 1921/22 and 1922/23, with 19 and 22 league goals respectively. In total he netted 151 times for Liverpool FC in 339 appearances.
1935 Gordon Hodgson
Still third in the all-time LFC goalscorers table, the South African striker scored his 17th and final hat-trick for the Reds in a 4-2 Anfield win over Leeds United on 2 February 1935. Gordon was top-scorer in seven out of the nine whole seasons he played at Liverpool FC.
1954 John Evans
In Liverpool FC's pre-Shankly Second Division years he scored five goals in one match against Bristol Rovers on 15 September 1954 – a feat only two other post-war LFC players have managed: Ian Rush and Robbie Fowler. Striker Evans, signed from Charlton Athletic, scored 33 times in all competitions in season 1954/55.
1958 Billy Liddell
Season 1957/58 was the last of seven seasons in which the Scottish winger finished as Liverpool FC's leading scorer. Billy netted over 200 times for the Reds, in 534 games over 14 years, and remains fourth in the all-time LFC scorers list behind Ian Rush, Roger Hunt and Gordon Hodgson.
1967 Roger Hunt
Liverpool FC's top scorer pretty much throughout the Sixties, 'Sir' Roger broke Gordon Hodgson's club record on 11 November 1967 by netting his 242nd goal for LFC, with Manchester United the opposition. Ian Rush may have scored more in all competitions but Hunt is still top for LFC league goals with 244.
1973 Chris Lawler
Club stalwart who spent 23 years at Anfield, first as a player and ultimately as the manager. On the pitch he was a title-winning wing-half who skippered the side to a first Wembley appearance; off it he was an assistant to Welsh then boss in his own right. Three times he came close to clinching promotion back to the top flight before his resignation in November 1959.
1978 Kenny Dalglish
King Kenny scored the winning goal in the European Cup final on 10 May 1978 in his first season with LFC. When he scored twice against Odense at Anfield on 28 September 1983 he surpassed compatriot Denis Law as the British player to score the most goals in Europe's premier competition, with 15 (including five for Celtic previously). He's still Liverpool FC's seventh-highest scorer in all competitions, with 172 goals.
1981 Terry McDermott
When Terry Mac scored in a League Cup fourth-round replay win over Arsenal at Anfield, it was the second time he'd scored on his birthday, 8 December. He'd first done it two years earlier in a league win at Aston Villa.
1983 Ian Rush
On 29 October 1983 the Welsh wizard scored five in one match, against Luton Town at Anfield, in a season which would see him net 47 goals in total. Rushie's LFC career stats are phenomenal: most goals for Liverpool FC with 346; most goals in a Merseyside derby with 25, famously including four at Goodison Park in 1982; most FA Cup final goals with five (1986, 1989 and 1992); most League Cup goals with 49 (shared with Geoff Hurst). Goal. Machine.
1986 Jan Molby
On 26 November 1986 the Great Dane scored a hat-trick of penalties against Coventry City at Anfield in a League Cup fourth-round replay, in the fourth, 39th and 72nd minutes. Steven Gerrard eventually scored more, with 47, but Jan was more prolific with 42 conversions from 45 spot-kicks.
1994 Robbie Fowler
Robbie's hat-trick against Arsenal at Anfield on 28 August 1994 came in four minutes and 33 seconds. It wasn't until May 2015 that Sadio Mane, then with Southampton, bettered it with three goals in two minutes and 56 seconds versus Aston Villa. To this day no one has scored more goals for Liverpool FC in the Premier League – he has 128.
1998 Michael Owen
Following his World Cup heroics Michael scored a stunning hat-trick for the Reds away to Newcastle United on 30 August 1998. He'd repeat the feat against the Magpies at Anfield on 5 May 2001, in total scoring 14 times versus the club he'd later join after his spell with Real Madrid.
2001 Gary McAllister
When he fired home a penalty against Barcelona in the UEFA Cup semi-final second leg of 19 April 2001, Gary Mac became the oldest LFC player to score on his European debut: 36 years, 3 months and 25 days.
2009 Fernando Torres
When he scored a last-gasp winner at Aston Villa on 29 December 2009, the Spanish striker became the fastest LFC player to hit 50 league goals. He did it in 72 appearances. Previously he'd overtaken Ruud van Nistelrooy for most league goals scored by a non-British player during his debut season in England's top flight: 24 in 2007/08.
2013 Daniel Sturridge
His hat-trick at Fulham on Sunday 12 May 2013 meant his first 10 Premier League goals for Liverpool FC had come in a club-record 13 games. Next it's Fernando Torres and Robbie Fowler both in 18 matches, and more recently Sadio Mane in 22.
2013 Luis Suarez
On 4 December 2013 the Uruguayan scored four goals in a 5-1 win over Norwich City at Anfield, bringing his tally to 11 against the Canaries in four appearances; he'd get one more in the game at Carrow Road the following April. His 31 Premier League goals in 2013/14 was more or less a third of the 101 league goals the Reds scored that season.
2014 Steven Gerrard
When the skipper found the net in a 1-1 UEFA Champions League group-stage draw with FC Basel on 9 December 2014 it was his 100th goal scored at Anfield; he'd add another three before retiring. Steven is one of seven players to score 100 or more at home for the Reds; the others are Ian Rush (185), Roger Hunt (173), Gordon Hodgson (159), Billy Liddell (137), Robbie Fowler (117) and Kenny Dalglish (104).
2016 Sadio Mane
Sadio is the most recent Reds player to score on his Anfield debut, in the 4-1 win over Leicester City on 10 September 2016. He joins such illustrious company as Daniel Sturridge, Luis Suarez, Fernando Torres, John Barnes, John Aldridge, Kenny Dalglish, Kevin Keegan, Roger Hunt and Billy Liddell.
2016 Ben Woodburn
At 17 years and 45 days he became Liverpool FC's youngest-ever scorer when he found the net in a League Cup quarter-final tie with Leeds United at Anfield last November, beating Michael Owen's previous record by 98 days.
