Roy Hodgson signed Paul Koncheksy for Liverpool in the summer of 2010, but he wasn't his only former player he tried to recruit from Fulham
The Crystal Palace boss replaced Rafa Benitez in the Anfield dugout in the summer of 2010, only to be dismissed by new owners FSG in July 2011 following a dismal stint on Merseyside which saw him oversee just 13 victories from 31 games in charge.
The Reds even went as far as bidding for him, according to the striker, only to end up signing a new contract at Craven Cottage after Hodgson’s successor, Mark Hughes, told him he wanted him to stay at Fulham. “The end of the transfer window was coming and they both bid, I ended up signing a new contract and broke my leg the next day.”
