Liverpool have certainly had their problems with the Welsh international, just like Newcastle, Norwich City and Coventry City in the past. But his crucial first-half goal against Barcelona in the Champions League helped Liverpool pull off one of the greatest results in their fabulous history, and Bellamy hails it as the pinnacle of his career to date.
Bellamy's Biggest Night
Liverpool looked set to go into half-time at the Nou Camp still trailing by Deco's 14th-minute strike, when Bellamy popped up three minutes before the break to put the Reds level.
The Wales international then turned goal provider in the second half, laying the ball across for John Arne Riise to lash a right-footed thunderbolt into the roof of the Barcelona net, earning Liverpool a stunning 2-1 win from this last-16 first leg.
The build-up to the game had been overshadowed by an alleged incident during Liverpool's training camp in Portugal last week - reportedly involving both Bellamy and Riise.
Bellamy: "It was a great night for the club and brilliant to score a goal at the Nou Camp. It was my best moment in football," he said. There was a special atmosphere coming into the ground and it's probably the biggest game I've played.
"This is a great result but it is only half-time. We've got to go back to Anfield, so there is still a long way to go. Barcelona are a top side and the reigning champions of Europe, but we've done a lot of work for this game and I think you could see that."
On Tuesday is was rumoured Liverpool were set to listen to offers for Bellamy, and Blackburn Rovers made it known they would gladly take him back.
