The history of Liverpool FC is always a fascinating one to study and discover, and the contents of this article are no different.<\/p>\n

In this feature I will be analysing the greatest goalkeepers to have graced the turf between the sticks at Anfield.<\/p>\n

Across all the decades there have been number one\u2019s, who have made the jersey their own.<\/p>\n

Whilst, there have also been keepers who have not necessarily been first choice, but have been talented nonetheless.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s run through the best of them.<\/p>\n

Sam Hardy \u2013 1900s-1910\u2019s<\/h2>\n

This is a major, major throwback, but one worthy of a place on this list due to his early trendsetting in the early days of the club\u2019s history.<\/p>\n

Signed for \u00a3500 from Chesterfield, he helped the club win the 1905-1906 championship and made a total of 240 appearances and making 63 clean sheets from 1905 to 1912.<\/p>\n

Hardy certainly lived up to his nickname of \u2018Safe and Stead\u2019.<\/em><\/p>\n

Tommy Lawrence \u2013 Era: 1960s<\/h2>\n

A stalwart of Bill Shankly\u2019s all conquering Reds side, it took Lawrence five years after joining to make his full professional debut in October 1962.<\/p>\n

He was famously dubbed \u2018the flying pig\u2019<\/em> by supporters due to his physique and acrobatic saves.<\/p>\n

The Scotsman won the league title in \u201864 and \u201866, as well as the club\u2019s first ever FA Cup in \u201865.<\/p>\n
