Andy Robertson. Nine years. Three hundred and something appearances. A Champions League. A Premier League. Countless overlapping runs that made right backs physically ill. And now Liverpool have confirmed he's leaving this summer. 😭

POV: you're a Liverpool fan who spent the last two years saying "Robbo's finished" and now you're genuinely emotional about it. No caption needed.

But here's the thing. Every legend departure follows the exact same script. We've seen this movie so many times that I can categorise every single type. So let's rank the 7 Types of Legend Departure that every club eventually goes through, and work out which one Robbo is getting.

7. The "Wait, He Was Still There?" Exit

This is when a player hangs around so long past their peak that their departure announcement genuinely shocks people into remembering they exist. Think Phil Jagielka at Everton or Jermain Defoe's third spell at Sunderland. The comments section is just "no way he was still playing lol". Brutal. Robertson is NOT this, for the record. He's been starting games. People know he's there. Mostly because they've been shouting at him. 💀

6. The Messy Divorce

Contract disputes. Instagram unfollows. Agent interviews. The kind of exit where the club statement says "we wish him well" and everyone knows that's code for "get out of my house." Salah nearly went through this before signing his extension last year. Toxic energy. Zero romance. Robertson's exit seems way too wholesome for this category.

5. The "Pushed Out the Back Door" Special

When a club quietly moves a legend on and tries to make it look mutual. No testimonial. No lap of honour. Just a paragraph on the website at 11pm on a Tuesday. Absolutely criminal behaviour. The fans find out through a tier 3 journalist on Twitter and suddenly it's a national emergency. 😭

4. The Farewell Tour That Goes On Too Long

When a player announces they're leaving six months early and every single game becomes an emotional tribute. Pre match guard of honour. Post match speech. Half time montage. By February the fans are like "mate we love you but please just GO." Trent's leaving ceremony is going to be 14 episodes long. This is cinema.

3. The "One Last Dance" That Actually Slaps

When a declining legend suddenly turns back the clock in their final months. Scoring screamers. Making crucial tackles. Making everyone question why they ever doubted them. Steven Gerrard's last season before the LA Galaxy move had flashes of this. Robbo could absolutely do this if Liverpool make a late push for something. The script is RIGHT THERE. ⚽🔥

2. The Perfect Goodbye

Trophy lift. Standing ovation. Tears. A montage set to "You'll Never Walk Alone" that ruins your entire week. This is the gold standard. This is what every fan secretly wants. The memes write themselves but they're wholesome memes. The rare W. 🐐

1. The One Where You Don't Realise How Much You'll Miss Them Until They're Gone

This is Robertson's category. I'm calling it now. He's the kind of player Liverpool fans have taken for granted because he was ALWAYS there. Always running. Always crossing. Always screaming at someone. And then next season Arne Slot is going to start whoever replaces him and the entire fanbase is going to collectively go "oh no" when the left side looks empty. 💀

A 7 quid signing from Hull City who became one of the best left backs in Premier League history. Nine years of pure chaos overlap energy. The group chat is going to be in shambles when the testimonial montage drops.

Robbo, it's been an absolute honour watching you terrorise the entire right side of football. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go watch that corner taken quickly clip one more time. 😭⚽
