Should Dimitar Berbatov leave Spurs for an enormous fee during the January transfer window it will leave many at Anfield regretting what might have been.
In the autumn and winter of 2004, Liverpool were scouring Europe for a top class centre forward and Berbatov, then of Bayer Leverkusen, was high on their wanted list.
Leverkusen were willing to do business at the right price and the player himself was believed to have been keen on a move to Anfield.
That was until fate intervened and Liverpool were drawn against Leverkusen in the Champions League.
Any hopes of a deal being done were dashed as the German outfit decided they could not sell one of their main assets to a team they would be facing the following month and Liverpool ended up signing Fernando Morientes.
Talk about the luck of the draw.
