Can you name Liverpool's matchday squad from the 2005 Champions League final?

To mark Jerzy Dudek's 47th birthday, Sports Mole challenges you to name Liverpool's matchday squad from their famous 2005 Champions League final win.

Former Liverpool goalkeeper Jerzy Dudek celebrates his 47th birthday today, providing the perfect opportunity to look back on his finest moment.

The Polish shot-stopper, like a string of Liverpool keepers before him, had developed a reputation for being error-prone in the buildup to the 2005 Champions League final in Istanbul, where Rafael Benitez's underdogs came up against the might of AC Milan, who boasted one of the best XIs in recent history.

What followed has gone down in history as Liverpool recovered from three goals behind at half time to be crowned kings of Europe for a fifth time after launching a legendary second-half comeback.

There were no shortage of heroes on that unforgettable night at the Ataturk Stadium, but Dudek was arguably as important as anyone having denied Andriy Shevchenko with a scarcely-believable double save in extra time and then thwarting the Ukrainian again in penalties after channeling his inner Bruce Grobbelaar.

Here, to celebrate Dudek's birthday, Sports Mole challenges you to name all 18 members of Liverpool's matchday squad from that night in Istanbul.
