BREAKING: Liverpool signed me from out of nowhere – it was unbelievable and I was so proud

In the summer of 2015, the Hungarian shot-stopper was signed by the club from relegated Championship side Bolton Wanderers on a free transfer. Bogdan, 36, only made six appearances in all competitions, which all came in his debut campaign with the club.

 

He was loaned to Wigan Athletic and Scottish Premiership side Hibernian, before he was released by the Reds at the beginning of the 2019/20 campaign. While he did not receive many chances to impress at Liverpool, Bogdan is still proud of his time with the club.

In an exclusive interview with Ladbrokes Fanzone, Bogdan offered an insight into how his move to Merseyside materialised. He said: “As we were crossing the border, I got a call from my agent.

“He told me that it looked like Liverpool were going to be making contact. It was unbelievable for me. I was so happy, I was so proud, and so excited.

“All of these emotions, it was so huge. I wasn’t afraid, or anything like that; I was ready for it. I knew the standard was going to be higher, but I was ready. It’s something I was really proud of.”

Considering Bogdan was between the sticks when his previous side Bolton had been relegated from the Premier League, many eyebrows were raised when Liverpool signed him on a free transfer.

 

After Bogdan admitted he was surprised when Liverpool swooped in, the experienced goalkeeper then pin-pointed the moment he believes won the club’s scouts over. He added: “I played in an FA Cup game in the January, and it was probably one of the best games I had for the club… not just in terms of saves, but psychology.

“I felt completely focused and balanced, playing at Anfield. And I think that must have been picked up, or I must have left some sort of impression on the people at Liverpool.

“I don’t think it was anything more than that, but later on that year, obviously Brad Jones left the club, which meant the spot for second-choice was open at the club. I think they wanted somebody with experience in England, which obviously I had.”
