'A dream come true' - Mark Gonzalez's Liverpool memories

The former Chile international signed for the Reds from Albacete in October 2005, but had to wait until the following August to make his debut having not initially been eligible for a work permit.

He would eventually enjoy a memorable bow for the club, however, as he replaced Steven Gerrard late on during a Champions League qualifier against Maccabi Haifa at Anfield and scored the winner to secure a valuable 2-1 victory.

Gonzalez went on to make a total of 36 appearances across the 2006-07 season before leaving for Real Betis - and, on the latest edition of LFCTV’s Extra Time, he speaks fondly of his time on Merseyside.
