What happened. Curtis Jones is joining Inter Milan, ending Liverpool's 134-year run of having at least one Liverpool-born player in the first-team squad.

• Jones was born in Toxteth and came through Liverpool's academy.
• He once said it would be 'unbelievable' if the Kop chanted 'the Scouser in our team' for him.
• Steven Gerrard had called him a potential 'Scouse heartbeat' of the team.

“It would be 'unbelievable' if the Kop's chant about a player being 'the Scouser in our team' were ever directed at him.”

— Curtis Jones

Liverpool now have no Scouse-born player in the squad for the first time in over a century.
