It has been quite a journey for Andy Lonergan in the past couple of years.
The 35-year-old goalkeeper has seen better days as he has swapped shirts an almost ridiculous amount of times in the last few seasons.
His last gig, however, was with Middlesbrough, but he was released from the club this summer after his loan spell with Rochdale came to a close.
But now, out of the blue, he has received an invitation from none other than the champions of Europe, Liverpool.

The Reds are reportedly extremely short on goalkeepers with Alisson still on holiday and none of the youth players available. Jurgen Klopp decided to get creative, and he certainly achieved that.
Lonergan will now be joining the Merseyside team on their pre-season tour as their second man between the sticks alongside the only fit senior ‘keeper, Simon Mignolet.
Naturally, the fans just couldn’t believe this was happening as Lonergan is clearly punching well above his weight, even if the situation is only temporary.
To put things into perspective, back when he was at Leeds in 2017/18, the Whites were going through a goalkeeper crisis, about to face a red-hot Wolves side with only out-of form Felix Wiedwald, inexperienced Bailey Peacock-Farrell and the trusty veteran Lonergan to choose from.
But did Paul Heckingbottom choose Lonergan? No, he selected Peacock-Farrell, who made just his second Leeds appearance in the 3-0 defeat.
Take a look at some of the best fan reactions to the news down below…
