Liam James Rosenior (born 9 July 1984) is an English professional footballer who plays either as a full-back or winger for Brighton & Hove Albion. He is the son of former player and manager Leroy Rosenior, and spent time on loan at Torquay United, where his father was manager, during their promotion season in 2003–04. He has also played for Bristol City, Fulham, Reading, Ipswich Town and Hull City.
Born in London, Rosenior started his career with Bristol City as a promising midfielder. Arguably his best moment came when he scored the second goal in a 2–0 victory for Bristol City against Carlisle United in the 2003 Football League Trophy Final at the Millennium Stadium. This would prove to be his last appearance for City as Fulham soon snapped him up.
Rosenior was sent off against Blackburn for trying to start a fight with one of the Rovers players in the 70th minute on 7 May 2005. Rosenior soon became popular amongst Fulham fans due to his Afro hairstyle. During a match against Manchester City Rosenior made a seemingly impossible goal line clearance while the score was at 1–1, Fulham going on to win the game 2–1 with Steed Malbranque scoring in the last minute. Rosenior later told reporters that he was able to clear the ball in that manner due to his Afro hairstyle. He scored once for Fulham, in a League Cup tie against Lincoln City on 21 September 2005.
