Biography

Xabi Alonso (born 25 November 1981 in Tolosa, Spain), is a Spanish footballer who currently plays his club football for Liverpool F.C. in England. He wears the number 14 shirt at Liverpool and is a central midfielder, often playing as a deep-lying playmaker. However, Alonso has a reputation for scoring spectacular long range goals, scoring two long range efforts against Luton Town in the FA Cup 3rd round, January 2006, one of those being shot from inside Liverpool's own half. Liverpool eventually won the game 5-3, having been 3-1 down at one point in an entertaining FA Cup classic tie. Alonso also struck from inside Liverpool's half as he scored the 2nd goal in 2-0 victory against Newcastle on 20 September 2006.
