So when the Reds needed a divine intervention to bright them back from the brink in the 2012 final it was no surprise that Kuyt was the man Kenny Dalglish signalled to on the bench. And within five minutes of his introduction the Dutchman lived up to his reputation by scoring in extra time to put Liverpool ahead and on the path to another League Cup success.
