Feature'That' run, selflessness and trophies: Nine great Andy Robertson moments
Andy Robertson will leave Liverpool after nine seasons with his status as a club legend well and truly cemented.
The Scot's incredible journey at the club – which began in July 2017 with a move from Hull City – will come to an end upon the conclusion of the 2025-26 campaign.
Paying tribute to one of the Reds' greatest ever left-backs, below are nine of our favourite highlights from his career on Merseyside to date...
'A dream come true'
Those present at Melwood on July 21, 2017 can recall how a 23-year-old was simply walking around the facility in a state of disbelief.
Relegated from the Premier League with Hull a few months earlier, Robertson had been recruited as part of Jürgen Klopp's plan to deliver success back to Liverpool.
It allowed him the chance to reflect on the challenges he had to bounce back from up to that point in his career.
Being released from his boyhood Celtic as a kid, working while playing for amateur side Queen's Park and the disappointment with Hull all shaped the person that has served Liverpool so brilliantly.
"There's not many, if any, more special clubs than Liverpool," Robertson said upon signing. "When you grow up as a kid you dream of playing with big clubs such as Liverpool and to make that a reality is a dream come true for me."
A press for the ages
As a bare minimum, Robertson's work-rate and attitude every time he pulls on the Liverpool strip means he is adored by the supporters.
The catalyst for that affection can be traced back to a 94-yard sprint midway through his debut season, on a day when Manchester City were defeated 4-3 in a Premier League classic.
City's defenders were on the receiving end of a lung-busting Robertson press, which began at the halfway line on the left flank and carried on all the way through to the right side of the visitors' penalty area.
Although it was halted when the referee blew for a foul, Anfield rose in appreciation.

After a challenging first few months, Robertson found his way into Klopp's side and never looked back.
He was afforded licence to venture forward in that swashbuckling team and scored his first Liverpool goal on the final day of the 2017-18 Premier League season.
Robertson thrashed an 85th-minute finish past Brighton & Hove Albion to cap off a 4-0 win at Anfield.
"They're few and far between for me," he reacted in his typically self-deprecating fashion. "But it was a nice moment. To get it at Anfield is always special."
A European champion

In keeping with his career, Robertson had to pick himself up to go again and hit the heights he always strived for.
He was heartbroken 12 months earlier, walking around NSC Olimpiyskiy in Kyiv with a runners-up medal around his neck after defeat by Real Madrid in the 2018 final.
When the Reds heroically reached the same stage in the following season, Robertson and his teammates were determined to experience the opposite emotions.
Tottenham Hotspur were beaten 2-0 in Madrid and Liverpool had their sixth European Cup.
"It just makes me smile every time I think about it," he said a few years later.
Us too.

The win away at Aston Villa in November 2019 is seen as a critical moment in the ending of Liverpool's 30-year wait for a league crown.
It seems unthinkable now, given the margin they won the title by, that destiny had been taken out of the Reds' hands while they trailed 1-0 at Villa Park.
Manchester City were beating Southampton, reducing the gap at the top to three points and holding a superior goal difference, and were to arrive at Anfield the following week.
But up stepped Robertson with the vital equaliser with 87 minutes on the clock, scoring with a rare header at the back post from Sadio Mane's cross.
His celebration was merely a sprint back to his own half to lay out the ambition of the visitors: there was still time to turn it around completely.
And so it proved with Mane's winner deep into stoppage time.
'Robbo'
No-one can ever doubt his professionalism, commitment or competitiveness.
But whenever there is an opportunity to embrace the lighter sides of life, Robertson is nearly always at the front of the queue.
He is considered a go-to person whenever the club's media team wants to put an unconventional idea into practice.

Delivering in the derby
Liverpool were on the hunt for a remarkable quadruple in the 2021-22 run-in.
An Anfield Merseyside derby that was goalless at the hour mark threatened to ruin their pursuit in the Premier League.
But like he was at Villa two seasons earlier, Robertson was the man stationed perfectly at the back stick to break the deadlock and change the game.
Two Kop heroes, in Robertson and Divock Origi, scored in the 2-0 win to somehow improve their standing further among the fan base.
A one-time Premier League record holder
Liverpool's No.26 became the highest-assisting defender in Premier League history on Boxing Day in 2022.
Including the four he produced at Hull, Robertson took his tally clear of Leighton Baines' previous record of 53 by setting up the early opener from Mohamed Salah.
It was a claim he would be battling to keep hold of with then-teammate Trent Alexander-Arnold in the years that followed, with Robertson currently on 60.
A title win in front of fans
As the club launched into a new era with Klopp departing and Arne Slot arriving in 2024, Robertson was seen as one of the leaders in the squad to help instil the new boss' ideas.
He appeared 45 times – 38 of which were starts – last season as Slot counted on his experience, quality and intensity.
It culminated in lifting the Premier League title for the second time, and the celebrations were even better this time around.
The COVID-19 pandemic meant Anfield had been without spectators for the trophy lift ceremony in July 2020. Five years on, Liverpool's players, staff and supporters were going to savour every second of being on top of English football again.
There was the earth-shaking moment of sealing the title against Tottenham and then the official coronation a month later.
"You can't beat what we experienced today," Robertson said post-Spurs. "Nothing quite compares to that."
