Liverpool cult hero looks unrecognisable with full sleeve tattoos, a massive beard and his trademark long hair gone
THIS LIVERPOOL cult hero looks completely unrecognisable from his playing days.
The 49-year-old has ditched the silky, long hair from his playing days for a shorter look with a bushy beard.
And the Czech, who made 196 appearances for Liverpool, has covered his arm with tattoos.
He won the FA Cup, League Cup and UEFA Cup with the Reds, as well as finding the back of the net 28 times during his spell on Merseyside.
The Sparta Prague academy product also played for the likes of Slavia Prague, Borussia Dortmund, Portsmouth, Aston Villa and Stoke.
So have you worked out who it is?
It’s none other than Patrik Berger, who played for Liverpool between 1996 and 2003.
Berger hung up his boots in 2010, returning to his first club Sparta Prague to finish his playing career.
He also represented his country 42 times and scored 18 goals on the international stage.
Berger returned to Anfield in March 2022 to play in a legends charity match against Barcelona.

Unfortunately, he was unable to help Liverpool overcome Barca, losing the game 2-1.
Icon Steven Gerrard got on the scoresheet from the penalty spot on his Anfield return.
The game gave Berger a chance to link-up with fellow Czechs and ex-Reds Vladimir Smicer and Milan Baros.
On Instagram, he posted a photo of them together captioned: “Czech mates.”
