PROFILE
Stephane Henchoz left Liverpool in January 2005 to begin a new career with Celtic
after joining the Glasgow side on a short term deal until the end of the 2005/06 season.
During his five-and-a-half year stay at Anfield Henchoz proved to be an
inspirational signing and was popular with the Liverpool fans. Unfortunately the past two
seasons were interrupted due to spells of injury but he still surpassed the 200 mark of
games for Liverpool in 2003/04.
With Gerard Houllier preferring Igor Biscan at centre half Henchoz became something
of a bit part player appearing as an occasional right back. However it was surely no
surprise that results started to improve and Liverpool made the fourth place when Henchoz
returned alongside Sami Hyypia in 2003/04.
Together with partner Hyypia, they make a formidable pair and are the rocks upon
which the team is based.
 Henchoz missed a
large part of the 2002/03 season due to injury and it surely wasn't any coincidence that
without him Liverpool's defence looked vulnerable and the Reds missed out on the Champions
League. However the Swiss defender did return from injury to play in the 2003 Worthington
Cup win over Manchester United in Cardiff.
Stephane was signed from Blackburn Rovers in the summer of 1999. When Blackburn
were relegated, Gerard Houllier moved swiftly to bring the cultured Swiss international to
Anfield for a bargain 3.5 million, beating off competition from other interested European
clubs.
Unfortunately the Liverpool supporters had to wait to witness the appearance of
Henchoz in a red shirt. A groin injury delayed his debut and he became the last of the
club's seven signings that summer to make his debut in the 4-2 win over Hull City in the
Worthington Cup in September 1999.
Strong in the air and an uncompromising man marker, Henchoz became a vital member of the
much improved Liverpool rearguard and was an unsung hero of the Reds' treble success.
He never scored from Liverpool in a senior match apart from a penalty in the
Carling Cup win at Tottenham in the 2004/05 season, and in pre-season 2004 he scored in a
pre-season friendly against Celtic. Total LFC games/goals for Reserves
