There are players who impress their teammates not because of their football talent but because of their special appearance. In the Premier League, there was once a Liverpool player who made his teammates panic about his oversized “boy”.

It is easy to name the player who scored the most goals in Premier League history. That is Alan Shearer with 260 goals in England’s highest division.

But let’s put aside those dry and boring technical statistics. Let’s talk about the player with the biggest “precious” assets in Premier League history. No one can statistically “measure” this, but former player Jason McAteer is confident in finding that special character.

McAteer has played for Bolton Wanderers, Liverpool, Blackburn Rovers, Sunderland and Tranmere Rovers but is best known for Liverpool. The former Republic of Ireland midfielder played 100 matches for The Kop between 1995 and 1999.

Speaking on the Under The Cosh podcast, McAteer had no doubts that he knew who the player with “the longest pistol in Premier League history” is.

That is McAateer’s teammate at Liverpool, goalkeeper Tony Warner. The Trinidad & Tobago goalkeeper has never played a minute for Liverpool’s first team despite being on the bench 120 times.

But Tony Warner left an impression on his teammates in a very special way. “Tony and I liked each other at first sight, I was very close to him and to this day we still maintain a close relationship,” McAteer said about his former teammate.

“During the time I shared the dressing room with Tony, I didn’t mean to observe it, but it caught my eye. It was the biggest “pistol” I have ever seen in my life. Tony can kill people with that gun, he should have a license to use it,” McAteer joked.

Host Chris Brown also shares the same opinion as the former Liverpool midfielder. Chris Brown is also a former player, once sharing the Norwich City shirt with Tony Warner.

“I don’t doubt your comment. One time in Norwich I was showering between Dion Dublin and Tony Warner. I still remember how self-conscious I felt,” Chris Brown told McAteer.

Tony Warner left Liverpool in 1999 and wandered around in lower division teams. The 49-year-old former goalkeeper is currently taking on the role of goalkeeper coach at Reading, a League One team.
