    Josemi was Rafael Benitez's first Liverpool signing following his appointment as manager in the summer of 2004.

    The defender - full name Jose Miguel Gonzales Rey - joined the club from Malaga and made his debut in Austria when the Reds started their Champions League campaign against Grazer AK.

    He started off reasonably well at right-back but was to soon lose his place to Steve Finnan and a knee injury put him out of action for up to four months.

    It was an injury-hit first season in England for Josemi, although he did win a Champions League medal as he was an unused substitute against AC Milan in Istanbul.

    The Spaniard left the club at the start of January 2006 to move to Villarreal, as part of the deal that saw Dutchman Jan Kromkamp arrive at Anfield.
