The 27-year-old former Fulham defender has quickly won over the Anfield faithful with his maurading runs down the right already offering signs of a promising relationship with Senegalese international El-Hadji Diouf for many years to come.

"A lot of people have mentioned to me how impressed they've been with Steve Finnan's contribution," enthused Houllier. "He was very good on Saturday again, particularly as he had so many aerial challenges to make. He is a very professional lad and has settled in extremely well."
