As one of Liverpool's modern legends, Mohamed Salah, the Egyptian King, has solidified his place in the hearts of fans worldwide. His incredible goal-scoring record and game-changing performances have seen him rise quickly through the ranks of Liverpool's all-time greats. However, Salah himself has acknowledged that there are two iconic figures who sit above him on the pedestal of Anfield's finest players.

In a recent interview, a former Liverpool striker shed light on why Mohamed Salah may struggle to claim the coveted No.1 position in the club's pantheon of legends.
