His £2.5m capture from Dutch side Willem II proved to be one of the shrewdest deals not only in Liverpool's history, but that of the Premiership. Now, as the charismatic Finn celebrates a decade with British football's most successful club, Oh Sami Sami - an official club publication - marks the occasion in glorifying detail.
Charting his progress from the Finnish leagues through to the club he supported as a child, this 84-page glossy tribute takes you on a journey of over 700 career appearances, nearly 500 of which have been served at Anfield.
Contributions from team-mates, past and present, as well as the man himself, give the complete insight to one of the most chanted names on the Kop. His role as a former captain, his key goals and contributions as well as his special relationship with the fans, are all explored with great precision.
Following Hyypia's part in the sensational match against Manchester United at the weekend, Alan Hansen said "He is a brilliant professional and he's been a big player for such a long time with Liverpool. He leads by example and never lets them down."
Oh Sami Sami is the deserving tribute to a much loved and abiding Red. Buy now for just £3.99 on www.merseyshop.com
