james milner leaves little doubt about the scale of Andy Robertson’s Liverpool exit: Sunday’s Premier League season finale against Brentford at Anfield will be his final match for the club after nine years. He arrived from Hull City in 2017, won the Champions League and two Premier League titles, and made almost 400 appearances in red.
Robertson's Liverpool endgame
The timing is straightforward. Liverpool are sending Robertson into one last league appearance at Anfield, and the club is using the occasion to salute a left-back who became one of its most familiar figures over a long run of success. His career there has stretched across title races, European nights and a near-400-game body of work that made him a constant presence on the left side.
One teammate put the scale of that run plainly: “Playing with Robbo for all those years, having him on my left-hand side, it was absolutely a joy to have his mentality, his drive, his energy, his quality on and off the ball, his assist [total] speaks for itself. It was an amazing time and something that I will never, ever forget and will always be grateful for, because he’s been a big part of my success. And I can say, obviously, I’ve been a big part of his success. It has been an absolute joy to have him in the team.”
Anfield and Robertson
That tribute captured the side of Robertson that has defined his Liverpool years: intensity, availability and a style that teammates valued as much as supporters did. Another speaker said he understood what it means to play for Liverpool and wear the shirt, adding that every time he went on the pitch, “the shirt I think became his skin and he gave always his all for everyone.”
Other tributes focused on the same traits from different angles. One speaker said Robertson’s intensity stood out most, while another pointed to his pace, excellent final ball and the way he plays with his heart on his sleeve. That same praise ran through the rest of the comments: he served Liverpool for so many years, he really loves the club, and fans respond to that with their own chant for him.
Dalglish on Robertson
Sir Kenny Dalglish also framed Robertson’s departure as the end of a Liverpool career that changed the player and the team around him. He said Robertson had many great seasons as a player but was also known as a great person, and added: “He [won] everything over here, served this club for so many years, really loves this club and it’s been a great nine years for him at the club.”
Dalglish went further, saying Robertson does not want superstar status and that fans value the selfless pressing and energy he brings. He also said it has been inspiring to see what he has achieved, while another tribute called it an honour to be his teammate and friend and said he leaves as a legend.
For Liverpool, Sunday is not just another league fixture. It is the last chance to see a player who arrived in 2017, won major trophies and became a modern club figure, closing a nine-year spell that teammates and supporters have treated as something worth marking properly at Anfield.
