It was only 21 days but Paul Jones considers the time he spent as a Liverpool player to be an unparalleled high in his footballing career.

Liverpool had to act when Jerzy Dudek sustained an injury during a win at Chelsea, with Chris Kirkland already sidelined. It left Patrice Luzi as the only senior 'keeper available.
