Club Legend: Ron Yeats
There are so many people associated with Liverpool Football Club that it is almost impossible to label any of them as being the true catalyst for the club’s success over the years. Bill Shankly will always be thought of as the father of modern day Liverpool FC, whilst Kenny Dalglish’s work on the pitch, in […]

Club Legend: Alan Hansen
To some, Alan Hansen will be best remembered as a TV pundit. In the years after his football career drew to a close, the Scot appeared regularly on Match of the Day on the BBC between 1992 and 2014, famously once saying of Alex Ferguson’s Manchester United side that ‘you’ll win nothing with kids’.

Club Legend – Jürgen Klopp
There are some people that do not and will never understand certain football clubs. For proof of the pudding on that front, have a read about our page on Roy Hodgson.

Club Legend – Matt McQueen
Nowadays, you can easily point to any number of Scottish influences when it comes to Liverpool Football Club. Bill Shankly is the most prominent, of course, but Kenny Dalglish would rival him in terms of a Scot with close ties to Anfield, whilst players such as Andy Robertson have put themselves into the great pantheon of […]

Club Legend – George Patterson
In the long list of Liverpool managers sits a name that many people won’t know much about, with other names like John McKenna and Bill Shankly far more likely to gain the accolades. That is understandable, considering what they achieved during their time at the club, but George Patterson is the many who signed up […]

Club Legend – Don Welsh
George Kay was the manager that brought the First Division title back to Anfield in the wake of the Second World War, also seeing the club reach the final of the FA Cup for only the second time in Liverpool’s history. It is fair to say, therefore, that his were quite big boots to fill. […]
