PROFILE
Dutch striker Erik Meijer left Anfield to return to the German Bundesliga and sign
for SV Hamburg on a free transfer on Monday 11th December 2000.
Meijer joined Liverpool on a Bosman transfer from German side Bayer Leverkusen
before the start of the 1999-2000 season, and the boyhood Liverpool fan fulfilled an
ambition when he joined the Reds with his total enthusiasm and commitment to the cause
endearing him to the Liverpool supporters.
Although not a prolific scorer, Meijer proved to be strong in the air and a
constant menace to opposing defences with his desire to chase lost causes, and defending
from the front like Ian Rush used to do so effectively.
In total, Meijer made 27 appearances for Liverpool. He didn't manage a league goal
but his only two Liverpool goals came in the 5-1 Worthington Cup victory over Hull City at
Boothferry Park in 1999.
He didn't start a game for Liverpool in the 2000-01 season, but made three
appearances off the substitutes bench against Arsenal, Aston Villa and Manchester City. A
spell on loan at First Division Preston North End followed before the move to Kevin
Keegan's old club SV Hamburg. Total LFC club games/goals for Reserves
