Besian Idrizaj: Liverpool hat-trick hero from LASK who died at 22 and had shirt number retired

When Liverpool take on LASK in the Champions League in Austria on Wednesday night, those present may pause to remember a player who connects both clubs. Besian Idrizaj joined the Reds from their Austrian opponents back in 2005, eager to make his name in English football. But aside from one afternoon in north Wales, he would never really register on the Liverpool radar before departing the club in 2008 having never made a senior competitive appearance.
