簡介﹕ Bill Shankly's £35,000 swoop for Keegan from Scunthorpe in May 1971 proved one of the shrewdest transfer moves ever. He was signed as a midfielder and potential replacement for long-serving Ian Callaghan. But Keegan's sparkling display up front in a pre-season practice match persuaded Shankly to plunge him into his debut alongside John Toshack in attack at the start of the 1971-72 season.
Keegan scored after just 12 minutes, Liverpool beat Nottingham Forest 3-1 and another epoch in Anfield history had begun. The confident recruit, born in Armthorpe near Doncaster, hit big-time football like a whirlwind. He swiftly won England under 23 recognition with the first of 63 full caps coming within 18 months as he soared to pop star status. His potent, trophy-capturing alliance with Toshack became feared throughout England and Europe before Keegan joined Hamburg for £500,000 in 1977, going on to become European Player of the Year twice.
He scored 100 Liverpool goals and said farewell by helping to win their first European Cup with a 3-1 conquest of Borussia Moenchengladbach in Rome. Later he played for Southampton and Newcastle - whom he also managed - received an OBE and in 1999 became England manager.

簡介﹕
It's a sign of how desperate Liverpudlians had become that Paul Ince was not only welcomed with open arms by the fans, but they had practically been clamouring for Roy Evans to sign him as the answer to all of our problems. Liverpool at the time were a good side capable of playing pretty football, but were regarded as having a 'soft centre.' The midfield duo of John Barnes and Jamie Redknapp were excellent at keeping hold of the ball, but not so good at going out and winning it. The concensus was that the reds needed a ball winner, someone who could drive the team forward from the middle of the park and lead by example. Former Manchester United man Ince was seen as the best available at that time, and when it emerged that he was looking to return to England after a successful stint in Italy, Roy Evans made his move. A fee of ?.5mil was agreed with the Italians and Ince became a Liverpool player in the summer of 1997. The prospect of an Ince/Redknapp midfield engine room was a mouth watering one, and the early signs looked good. Despite some inconsistent performances from the team, Ince started brightly, scoring on his home debut against Leicester, a game which the reds lost 2-1. Ince had replaced the ageing Barnes in the side, and had immediately been installed as captain, also at the expense of Barnes, who chose to move on to Newcastle United rather than play reserve team football for the club at which he had established himself as a legend. Ince had his moments, and when he was good he was very good, but much of the time he was anonymous, particularly in games against lesser opposition. Too often he would go missing in games at the likes of Coventry, Leicester and Everton. It was also claimed that he was having far too much influence off the field, most notably in managerial matters, ironically an accusation that was also levelled at his predecessor Barnes. This undoubtedly came about because of the perceived image of Roy Evans as being weak, and not in control of his players. Whether or not there were any substance to the claims about Ince's unhealthy influence is unclear, but it is interesting that almost from the first day that Gerard Houllier took sole charge, he encountered problems with Ince. In fact, Houllier purchased Jean-Michel Ferri purely in case he encountered a serious enough problem with Ince that would have forced him to take drastic action. Ferri was never going to be a part of Houllier's long term plan, but the manager needed to have someone available should the problems with Ince escalate to the point where he could no longer pick him. Ince's performances under Houllier were very much hit and miss. His lack of discipline infuriated Houllier, no more so than when he was needlessly sent off in Valencia, which meant he missed the next round through suspension. As a result, the reds had to take on Celta Vigo with an inexperienced midfield containing Murphy, Thompson and Gerrard. Houllier wanted a defensive midfield player that would sit in front of the back four and offer them protection. Ince wanted to bomb forward at every opportunity and be the hero. He would get his wish towards the end of the 1998/99 season, when injuries to all of the clubs strikers meant that the man who liked to refer to himself as 'the Guv'nor' was pushed into emergency centre forward duty. He did quite well in his new role, scoring against Spurs and then hitting a famous equaliser as the reds came from two down to draw with Man United at Anfield. However, as a midfield player he was simply not carrying out the instructions his manager was giving him. There were numerous reports of bust ups behind the scenes, mainly involving Ince and Phil Thompson. Reports of infighting at the club regularly adorned the back pages of national tabloids, and it is no secret that Ince was responsible for the majority of them. It was obvious that the reds had a 'mole' in the camp, and that mole was Ince. The reds were hardly off the back pages, and often they were on the front pages too. Never before had the club seen so much dirty laundry washed in public, and it was no surprise when that summer Gerard told Ince that he was no l,onger wanted. He eventually joined the 'Dad's Army' up at Middlesborough, and it surprised no-one when he launched a scathing attack on Houllier and Thompson just days after his departure (co-incidentally these comments appeared in the same Sunday tabloid that had ran all of the 'Anfield Mole' stories!). Amongst other things, Ince claimed that Liverpool needed to get rid of Houllier and Tommo or they would take the club down. Within two years the duo had lead the reds to an unprecedented cup trreble, whereas Ince's Middlesboro needed a win on the penultimate game of the season to save themselves from relegation. Enough said really.
