Former Liverpool player admits leaving Reds is still his biggest regret, he went ‘off the rails’

Leaving Liverpool is rarely a good decision for any footballer. Why would you willingly give up the chance of playing for one of the biggest clubs in the world?

Nevertheless, it is a choice many decide to make, with plenty left to rue the consequences.

There are few who that applies to more than Jermaine Pennant , who failed to kick on after a good first season at Anfield in 2006/07, and who has now admitted that pushing to leave after falling out of Rafa Benitez’s starting XI was the worst decision he ever made.
