簡介﹕
Born in Berlin, Christian Ziege actually started his career as a goalkeeper. It was only after spells with his local clubs Sudstern 08, TSVRudow and Hertha Zehlendorf that he became an outfield player, and his impressive form during the early years of his career in Germany saw him snapped up by the mighty Bayern Munich while still only 18.

Christian represented Germany at every level as a youth and was hailed by the press as the "new Andy Brehme" when he captained the under-21 team.

He made his senior debut for Germany against Brazil in the 1993 US Cup and played a starring role for the triumphant Germany side at Euro '96, playing every minute of every game and scoring the team's first goal in their opening game against the Czech Republic.

That year he also helped Bayern win the UEFA Cup. After an unhappy spell in Italy with AC Milan, Ziege was delighted to join Middlesbrough, who paid ? million for his services. He revived his career on Teeside and duly returned to the national side, scoring a brilliant hat-trick against Northern Ireland in his second game back and going on to win his 50th cap in Germany's final warm-up match before Euro 2000, where he played the first two games against Romania and England.

In the summer of 2000, Ziege swapped Teeside for Merseyside. His ?.5 million transfer was a long, drawn out affair and following his arrival he struggled to hold down a regular place in the first team.

Probably his best game in a Red shirt came in the UEFA Cup quarter final in Italy away to Roma, when his superb cross saw Michael Owen score his second goal of the game to give the Reds a priceless 2-0 win. He made a substitute appearance in the Worthington Cup Final against Birmingham and scored one of the penalties in the shoot-out victory.

Frustrated at his lack of first team opportunities and the emergence of Gregory Vignal saw Ziege move to Tottenham Hotspur in the summer of 2001.

簡介﹕
Local lad Phil Boersma spent the majority of his time at Anfield having to settle for the role of substitute and stand-in striker due to the intense competition for places.

Just look at the forward line he had to compete with for a starting place in the form of Kevin Keegan and John Toshack!

He did make an appearance as substitute in the 1973 UEFA Cup victory over Borrusia Monchengladbach though when he came on for Steve Heighway and although he missed out on the 1974 FA Cup Final against Newcastle he did play at Wembley in the Charity Shield against Leeds three months later.

Frustrated by his lack of first team opportunities Boersma left Anfield to join Middlesbrough in December 1975.

A good friend of Graeme Souness, Boersma returned to Anfield with Souness in 1990 and became physiotherapist and first team coach. He left when Souness resigned as Reds boss and then occupied similar roles with the former Liverpool boss at Southampton, Benfica, Galatasary and then at Blackburn Rovers.

簡介﹕
Locally born, Tom Bromilow asked Liverpool for a trial and two years later was an England international.

The First World War was nearing its end when Bromilow tentatively enquired about the possibility of a trial. His request was granted and the rest, as they say his history.

The youngster was pitched into the first team at left half and impressed immediately.

A fine tackler whose distribution was also one of his major assets Bromilow established himself as a regular member of the team and missed just two games in each of the club's successive title-winning season's in the early twenties.

International recognition deservedly came his way and he won the first of five caps against Wales in 1921. Although the remainder of the decade brought little in terms of success at Anfield Bromilow continued to serve the club with loyalty and distinction and was an ever-present in the 1927/28 season.

After hanging up his boots he went to coach in Amsterdam before returning to England and embarking on a managerial career with Burnley, Crystal Palace and Leicester City.

He died suddenly on a train on March 4 1959, while scouting for Leicester City, on his way home from a cup-tie between Wrexham and Merthyr Tydfil.

簡介﹕
Liverpool's own marathon man - the club's appearance record holder with 856 senior outings spanning almost two decades. Liverpool-born Callaghan was the only player to appear for the club in the old Second Division right through to their first European Cup triumph in Rome in 1977. He was at the club as a junior when Bill Shankly arrived in 1959 and still playing when the legendary Scot left in 1974.

Like his boyhood hero Billy Liddell - ironically the man he replaced on his debut in April 1960 - Callaghan was a gentleman of the game. He was booked only once in a remarkable career which brought him a cascade of medals and an MBE.

He was a direct, raiding right winger during the first phase of his career, embracing Liverpool's climb from the old Second Division, on to League and FA Cup glory and regular European campaigns before knee damage threatened his Anfield future in 1970.

But the evergreen Callaghan returned in a new, central midfield role, continuing impressively during the Bob Paisley management era. His crowning glory was a place, at 35, in the first European Cup-winning side. He joined Swansea in 1978, later played for Crewe and set an all-time record of 88 FA Cup appearances.

簡介﹕
Israeli international Avi Cohen was signed by Bob Paisley from Maccabi Tel Aviv for ?00,000 in May 1979.

Cohen made his Reds debut at left back in September 1979 at Elland Road in 1-1 draw with Leeds United but continued to be on the verge of the first team and was mainly used as a covering player for injuries.

In the final game of the 1978-80 season Cohen was part of the Liverpool team that clinched the Championship against Aston Villa at Anfield. He had earlier scored an own goal in front of the Kop to give Villa an equaliser but in the second half made amends when he scored at the same end to put the Reds 2-1 up, and eventually clinch the title in style with a 4-1 win.

However, he didn't win a championship medal as he had only played four games that season. The following season Cohen found himself still behind Alan Kennedy in the pecking order for the left back slot and also faced competition from Richard Money, who was equally capable of covering at in that position.

He left Anfield after his contract was cancelled in November 1981 and he returned to Israel. He later moved on to play for Rangers under Graeme Souness in May 1987.

簡介﹕
A skilful, high-stepping Scotland international signed by Bill Shankly as the last piece of his double trophy-winning jigsaw in 1972-73. The elegant former Hibernian midfielder cost ?10,000 from Nottingham Forest after being recommended by Shankly's brother Bob.

Cormack, menacing in the air and packing a powerful shot, made a telling contribution to Liverpool's capture of the League Championship and UEFA Cup in his first season at Anfield.

He scored eight goals in 30 outings to help secure Liverpool's first championship for seven years while he figured in 10 of the club's 12 games in a thrilling UEFA campaign which landed d Anfield's first European trophy after a two-leg conquest of Borussia Moenchengladbach in the final.

The following year Cormack collected a FA Cup winners medal after the Wembley defeat of Newcastle and earned a second title medal and another in the UEFA Cup under Bob Paisley's management in 1976. In November that year he joined Bristol City for ?0,000, later managing Partick and in Cyprus and Botswana, before becoming an after dinner speaker based in his native Edinburgh.

簡介﹕
Inside right or centre forward Forshaw is the only man to win League championship medals with both Liverpool and Everton. The Preston-born player developed his talents in Gateshead junior football and after guesting for Nottingham Forest and Middlesbrough during World War One joined Liverpool in 1919.

Standing a slim 5ft 10ins he formed a potent attacking alliance partnership with Harry Chambers and was an ever-present in Liverpool's consecutive championship seasons of 1921-22 and 1922-23, scoring 36 goals in the 84 games of those two campaigns.

But his highest scoring season was 1925-26 when he hit 29 goals in 35 League and FA Cup games, including a hat trick against Manchester United, a feat he repeated in the opening fixture of the following season.

After totaling 124 goals in 287 senior appearances Forshaw joined Everton in 1927 where he appeared in the same forward line as Dixie Dean and won another championship medal in the first season. He moved on to Wolves in 1929 and later played for Hednesford Town and Rhyl Athletic.

簡介﹕
He and Steve Heighway ushered in an academic 'first' for Liverpool when they appeared together as university graduates in the team that played Mansfield Town in a League Cup replay at Anfield in September 1970.

It was Bachelor of Science Hall's first senior start for the club and Bachelor of Arts Heighway's first team debut - and the Kop celebrated the occasion in typical apt and witty style by labeling the studious pair 'Big Bamber' and 'Little Bamber' after Bamber Gascoigne, who presented the popular TV show "University Challenge"!

Hall, at 5ft 6ins the smaller of the two, posed problems for defences with his flank runs and crosses and a terrier-like ability in midfield. His energy seemed boundless and the most famous of his 21 Liverpool goals was his first one. It was the winner in Liverpool's 2-1 FA Cup semi final defeat of Everton at Old Trafford in March 1971.

Glasgow-born, Preston-raised Hall left Liverpool for Plymouth in a ?5,000 move in 1976, having collected a batch of major medals. He later became a schoolmaster before returning to Anfield to become the club's public relations manager.

簡介﹕
Republic of Ireland international midfielder Ray Houghton was signed by Kenny Dalglish from Oxford United in October 1987 for ￡800,000, and he was to play a pivotal role in one of the best Reds sides to grace Anfield featuring a forward line of Peter Beardsley, John Barnes and John Aldridge.

Of the Houghton signing, player-manager Dalglish said: I’ve been interested in Ray for some time, and if you know what you want, the player is worth waiting for. Good players don’t come along too often, and when they do you have to try to sign them.”

After being given a free transfer by West Ham after just one appearance for the Hammers, Glasgow-born Houghton bounced back at Fulham in 1982. He then moved to Oxford in 1985 and played alongside John Aldridge. In his first season at the Manor Ground, Houghton scored at Wembley as Oxford won the Milk Cup Final at Wembley, beating Queens Park Rangers 3-0.

His international career took off too. Qualifying for the Republic of Ireland through his father, Houghton won the first of his 62 caps in a friendly against Wales in Dublin during March 1986.

The move to Anfield followed and Houghton made his Liverpool debut in a testimonial in Scotland for Dundee stalwart George McGeachie and scored in a 4-0 win. He made his full Reds debut the following Saturday on October 24th, 1997, on the plastic pitch at Kenilworth Road in Liverpool’s 1-0 win at Luton Town.

Houghton’s first goal for the Reds was in a 1-1 draw at Wimbledon. Coming on as a substitute for Craig Johnston, Houghton beat three defenders before slotting past Dave Beasant. Houghton then became a regular on the right of midfield and endeared himself to the Reds fans when he scored a superb header against Everton from a John Barnes cross, in the 1-0 FA Cup 5th Round win at Goodison Park.

He also scored in the famous 5-0 win over Nottingham Forest at Anfield on April 13th, 1988, as Liverpool went on to win the Division One Championship, but slipped up on a second double in the FA Cup Final against Wimbledon. Houghton ended his first season at Anfield with seven goals in 35 games.

At the end of the 1987-88 season Houghton was off to the European Championships in Germany, and scored with a header in a 1-0 win over an England side containing Anfield teammates John Barnes and Peter Beardsley.

Houghton’s first full season at Anfield was one of tragedy with the Hillsborough disaster claiming the lives of 96 Liverpool supporters. He played in the 1989 FA Cup win over Everton at Wembley only for the Reds to be denied a double again, this time by Arsenal in a dramatic last game at Anfield.

In his diary of the 1988-89 season, speaking about the disaster Houghton said: “I am not a Scouser but I felt I belonged. I always will now.”

The following season saw Liverpool regain the title but Houghton’s role was restricted with just 16 league appearances due to a back injury, but he still qualified for a Championship medal and was fit to play in the 1990 World Cup with the Republic of Ireland.

The 1990-91 season was the last for Kenny Dalglish as manager of Liverpool, and under Graeme Souness Houghton’s Liverpool career was coming to an end.

Houghton helped Liverpool to win the FA Cup, beating Sunderland 2-0 at Wembley in 1992 and was the Reds second top scorer behind Dean Saunders with 12 goals from 52 appearances.

Houghton won the Liverpool Player of the Year award and was in the top six for PFA Player of the Year for season 1991-92, his last at Anfield. However, the FA Cup Final was to be Houghton’s last in a red shirt, and the following season his number eight jersey went to Paul Stewart!

In a dispute over a pay increase, sadly the Reds Player of the Year Houghton was sold by Graeme Souness to Aston Villa in the summer of 1992 for ￡825,000.

Houghton is a player who will always be remembered by Liverpool fans as a workaholic who always gave 100 per cent. He could score goals, create goals and never gave defenders a moments peace, and will also be remembered as the final piece in the jig-saw for Kenny Dalglish’s wonderful 1987-88 championship winning side.

After life at Anfield, he went on to produce good performances for Villa, winning a League Cup winners medal in 1994, and played in the 1994 World Cup in the USA, where he scored in the opening 1-0 defeat of Italy. After a spell at Reading, Houghton is now coach at Crystal Palace.

簡介﹕
Midfielder Don Hutchison joined Liverpool in 1991 when Kenny Dalglish was impressed with a video performance of him playing for Hartlepool United, and paid ￡300,000 for the Geordie boy's services.

Hutchison was given his chance at Anfield by Graeme Souness in the 1991-92 season and made his league debut as a substitute against Notts County at Anfield in March 1992.

His best season was in 1992-93 when he scored 10 goals from midfield and made a big impression in a desperately disappointing season for Liverpool. Partnering another up and coming youngster Jamie Redknapp in midfield, those two carried the Liverpool team and complemented each other perfectly.

With Redknapp's passing skills, Hutchison added the drive, was a fierce competitor and could score goals.

For one reason or another season 1993-94 should have seen Hutchison make the midfield berth his own but it was another season of struggle for the Reds, and it was only in the final month of the season under new boss Roy Evans that 'Hutch' was back in favour.

One aspect worth noting is that he created Liverpool's last ever goal in front of the standing Kop, where he won a penalty against Ipswich Town which Julian Dicks scored.

Hutchison's days at Anfield were drawing to a close though in rather unfortunate circumstances. A much publicised incident in a city centre bar saw Hutchison sold by Roy Evans to West Ham in 1994 for ￡1.5 million.

Despite a good start with the Hammers he couldn't settle in London and moved to Sheffield United before joining Everton. A Scotland international who scored against England at Wembley in the Euro 2000 Play-off, Hutchison turned down a new contract at Everton to join Sunderland, and the Blues loss was undoubtedly Sunderland's gain

He joined Peter Reid's Sunderland in the summer of 2000 for ￡2.5 million and with his off-field problems put behind him, Hutchison has proved to be a big hit with the Black Cats, and then moved back to West Ham United in 2001.

簡介﹕
Born in South Africa but brought up in Australia, Craig was confident enough in his own ability to write to several English clubs as a 15 year old asking for a trial. Middlesbrough were the only ones that replied and so it was there that he established himself in English football, where his consistency and battling qualities soon brought him to the attention of bigger clubs. He signed for Liverpool in April 1981, still only 20 years old but with over 60 League appearance to his credit already.

When he watched his new club win the European Cup in Paris only weeks after his arrival at Anfield, he must have dreamed of being part of similar success. But the reality proved much tougher and it was only in the second half of the following season (1981-82) that he was given the opportunity to show what he could do. He quickly became a crowd favourite because supporters recognised that he would run until he dropped, but he could also be a frustrating player to watch although his ability, courage and strength were never in doubt.

His fortunes started to change on a freezing December night when Arsenal visited Anfield for a League Cup replay. After being substitute in 3 of the first 4 League matches, he had been largely overlooked since then. But his first goal for the club 5 minutes into extra-time helped see the Reds through to the quarter-final, although Craig failed to play any further part in the competition as his team went on to retain the trophy. But he was picked for the first League match after that Wembley success and played some part in all but one of the remaining League matches, contributing 6 goals as Liverpool regained the championship from Aston Villa.

The following season (1982-83) was Craig's most productive as a goalscorer - 10 from 41 starts. He played even more matches the next season but only managed 4 goals although he did get his hands on the European Cup as a player just 3 years after watching his new team-mates lift the trophy on that night in France so soon after he had arrived at the club. However, it seemed that he was not in favour with Joe Fagan, who had taken over from Bob Paisley, the man who had signed him from Middlesbrough. But when Joe stepped down after 2 seasons in charge, Craig was given fresh hope and encouragement from his former team-mate Kenny Dalglish, who now had the difficult task of leading the club forward after Heysel. Craig played over 50 times in the 'Double' season of 1985-96 and was a key member of the team. The joy of scoring in an F.A. Cup Final was plain for all to see !

After a promising start to the following season, the recurrence of a back injury kept him on the sidelines. But worse news was to come that Christmas. His sister was seriously ill in a Morocco hospital and he rushed immediately to be at her side. All this was kept from the Press at the time - and of course the supporters had no idea of the tragedy that was unfolding in his private life. His mind was obviously on other things and although he never gave up when he had a Liverpool shirt on, it was clear and natural that his family came first. Further injuries meant a reduced number of appearances in 1987-88 and he finally left England to return to Australia after making his final appearance in the best-forgotten Cup Final against Wimbledon. A year later, devastated by what had happened at Hillsborough, he not only raised thousands of pounds in his own country for the Fund which had been set up but also willingly flew half-way across the world to attend the memorial service at Anfield seven days after the disaster and stayed on to help counsel the bereaved families, a wonderful gesture which endeared him to Liverpool fans everywhere.

The title of his autobiography "Walk Alone" was apt because in many ways he was a refreshing change from the 'typical' professional footballer. And the fact this his book was dedicated "In Memory of the Victims of Heysel & Hillsborough" showed how much he cared about the community that had accepted him as one of their own and who will always have fond memories of a player who ran himself into the ground in the Liverpool cause.

簡介﹕
Ray's arrival at Anfield a few days before his 23rd birthday in July 1974 was completely overshadowed by the shock news on the same day that Bill Shankly, the man who had signed him from Arsenal, had decided to step down from the manager's chair with immediate effect. Despite being so young, Ray had already achieved great success at Highbury, helping the Gunners win the Fairs' Cup in 1970 and then being an integral part of their 'Double' triumph a year later.

As a forward, he had scored 53 times from 158 First Division matches and had had a terrific understanding and partnership with John Radford. But he never made the immediate impact at Liverpool that had been hoped and expected. This was possibly due to the fact that John Toshack missed most of the first half of the 1974-75 season because of injury, that Phil Boersma was not the kind of 'Radford' partner he had been used to and also perhaps because questions were being asked about his weight, although nobody of course knew at that time (not even Ray himself) how the early stages of Parkinson's Disease were already affecting his physical condition.

Ray scored on his League debut at Chelsea and again a week later when Spurs were the visitors to Merseyside. In fact, he had a run of 16 League games before John Toshack returned to fitness and took his place. Ray only played in a further 9 First Division fixtures in the second half of the season and a total of only 5 goals from 25 matches was a meagre return from a young striker who had enjoyed such a good reputation in London. Maybe Ray's stay at Liverpool would have been only a brief one had it not been for a master-stroke by the astute Bob Paisley half-way through the 1975-76 season, when he asked his cumbersome forward to play instead in a midfield role, a move so successful that it immediately saw off Peter Cormack, who had played in that position for the last two seasons.

By the end of the year, Ray had made the No. 5 shirt his own and added championship & UEFA cup winners' medals to the haul he already had from his Arsenal days. For the next five seasons, he was a regular in the side and enjoyed unparalleled success as Liverpool dominated domestic and European football. Over that period he only missed 5 First Division games and became one of very few players from any club to win three winners' medals in the European champions' cup. His success with Liverpool brought him nearly 20 full England caps to add to the 6 he had gained at Under-23 level as a youngster in the Arsenal team. He also contributed a marvellous total of 49 goals for the Reds in all competitions during those amazing five years and his runs from midfield into scoring positions brought him almost as many goals as he created for others with his astute vision and distribution of the ball.

One of the most important goals he ever scored came in the semi-final of the European cup in 1981 when the odds were stacked against Liverpool after Bayern Munich had ground out a 0-0 draw on Merseyside. An already-depleted Liverpool team suffered an early setback when Kenny Dalglish limped off injured early on but Ray's experience and composure finally told when 7 minutes from time he strode forward to collect David's Johnson's pass and stroked a firm right-foot shot away from the home keeper for the priceless away goal that would take the club through to their 3rd European cup final in 5 seasons.

Ray was 30 that summer and before the mid-way stage of the 1981-82 season his place in the side was first threatened and then taken by Ronnie Whelan. Ray decided to move to Swansea to join his former team-mate John Toshack but not before he had played enough games to qualify for his 6th League championship medal. He later had spells back in his native North-East with Hartlepool & Sunderland but by this time the onset of the terrible disease he had been suffering from became more acute and more public. He coped bravely with increased lack of mobility and dependence on drugs to control his condition and became a public figure in the battle to make the Public more aware of it and provide funds for research. In 1991 his loyalty to both Arsenal & Liverpool was rewarded with a well-attended testimonial match at Highbury, an emotional experience for him and his family and all the supporters who more than ever appreciated what he had done for the two clubs at which he had spent most of his playing career.

Local lad Chris came through the Junior ranks at Anfield and signed professional forms on his 17th birthday in October 1960 but had to patiently wait until March 1963 before Bill Shankly gave him his debut in a home fixture with West Bromwich Albion. Chris made 6 League appearances in 1962-63 and just another 6 the following year but by the end of the 1964-65 season he had taken over Ronnie Moran's full-back slot.

Chris played in 32 consecutive First Division games that season and scored the first two of what would be a remarkable total for a full-back of 61 goals for the club in competitive matches. He was also a proud member of the Liverpool team that won the F.A. cup for the first time in the club's history. He then missed just THREE of the next 336 League games, a quite remarkable 'attendance record', helping his side win the championship in 1966, reach the Cup winners' cup final the same year and another F.A. cup final in 1971.

Nicknamed "The Silent Knight" because of the quiet, uncomplicated way he just got on with his job on the field, he was an extremely reliable member of Liverpool's team for many years. Even approaching his 30th birthday, he still retained the fitness and stamina to play in every single one of the 66 competitive games the club played in four different competitions during the 1972-73 season, his reward being further winners' medals in the championship and UEFA cup. Despite being injured at QPR in November 1973 and only making one more League appearance that season, Bill Shankly still picked him as 'twelfth man' for the 1974 F.A. cup final.

Bob Paisley only selected Chris 10 times when he took over the manager's chair - and only then because Phil Thompson was injured in a home game with Stoke City. But as soon as Thompson was fit again, he went straight back into the team and Lawler never played for the first-team again, apart from one last match in the UEFA cup the following season. Chris, who was capped 4 times for England in full internationals and scored on his England debut against Malta at Wembley, moved to Portsmouth a month later who were managed at the time by his former team-mate, Ian St. John. He stayed on the South coast for nearly two years before returning to the North-West and ending his playing days with Stockport County.

簡介﹕
Liverpool-born Sammy was an Anfield apprentice before signing professional forms for the club in April 1976, soon after his 17th birthday. His lack of height and stocky build did not prevent him from becoming a hard-working midfielder for a number of years as Liverpool's domination of domestic and European football in the 1970's continued on into the next decade.

Sammy scored on his League debut in April 1978, with it must be said a fortuitous shot which the Leicester goalkeeper somehow allowed to creep under his body - but they all count ! But his appearances over the next two seasons were limited and he only began to establish himself as a first-team regular following Jimmy Case's departure to Brighton in the summer of 1981. Liverpool lost their League championship to Aston Villa but received ample compensation in the knock-out competitions, winning the League cup for the first time (although it took a replay to beat Second Division West Ham) and then defeating Real Madrid at the Parc dec Princes in Paris to take the European cup for the 3rd time. Sammy played in both finals and would also win other cup winners' medals - as well as three successive championships - during the next 3 years. His consistent club form brought him to the attention of the national manager and he was capped 14 times for his country.

After the heady achievements of 1984, Sammy's form dipped from its usual high standards and he was called on only rarely during the second half of the 1984-85 season. He was also in and out of the team the next year and it was not too much of a surprise when he agreed to join Queens Park Rangers in the summer of 1986. He only had a year in London before seeking a change of fortune in the Spanish First Division with Osasuna. Sammy returned to England after two years in Spain and briefly represented a couple of other Football League clubs before returning to Anfield to become an enthusiastic and popular member of the club's 'backroom' team.

簡介﹕
Kirkby-born Terry McDermott supported Liverpool as a boy but his first professional club was Bury, from where he moved to Newcastle United in February 1973. He played in 56 League matches for the Magpies and was one of two of their players (the other being Alan Kennedy) who played against Liverpool in the 1974 F.A. cup final and who later moved to Anfield. Terry returned to his native Merseyside in November 1974 when he was a few days short of his 23rd birthday as one of new manager Bob Paisley's earliest signings.

Although Terry played in six successive First Division games soon after his arrival, it was a frustrating time for him to be in and out of the team as he settled in at his new club. In 1975-76 he was selected for the opening 7 League games but after that was only called on twice more that year, both times as a substitute. It began to look as if a change of club would be the only way to resurrect his career but thankfully he stayed patient and his reward finally came in the memorable 1976-77 season when he was finally accepted not just as a good squad-player but an important member of the side itself. He made 26 First Division appearances that year and picked up the first of 4 championship medals. He only scored once in the League but the goals would come as he became known not just as a creative midfield player whose passing was so accurate but also as a 'runner' from deep who would often end up in or around the opposition penalty-box to finish what he or someone else had started.

The disappointment of again finishing on the losing side in an F.A. cup final was soon forgotten as a typical run into space to collect Steve Heighway's pass saw him fire the Reds ahead in the 1977 European cup final. Terry would add two more winners' medals to his collection in the world's most prestigious knock-out competition and many other team and individual honours would follow, including being named "Footballer of the Year" by the Sportswriters in 1980. In four seasons when he was at his peak, he contributed nearly 50 League goals as well as many more vital strikes in cup competitions. He became a regular member of the England squad and was capped over 20 times. Even in 1981-82 as he passed his 30th birthday and when his position in the side was being seriously challenged by younger men, he recorded his highest total of League goals in a single season for Liverpool (14) from only 29 appearances.

His long-range shooting became a feature of his game to add to his vision and tactical awareness and his chip in the F.A. cup semi-final with Everton in 1977 was voted 'Goal of the Season' by the BBC. Another awesome strike dumped Spurs out of the F.A. cup in 1980 but perhaps his most memorable goal had came against the same opposition at Anfield two years earlier when a sweeping move from one end of the pitch to the other saw him race 70 yards to powerfully head Steve Heighway's cross past Barry Daines, the final blow of Tottenham's 7-0 humiliation on that late-Summer's day. He also scored a stunning hat-trick in only 16 minutes when Kevin Keegan returned with Hamburg for the second leg of the Super Cup in 1977 and anothe European hat-trick when the Finns from Oulu were trounced 10-1 in the Champions' cup of 1980-81.

By the start of the 1982-83 season, it was clear that Terry would finally have to look elsewhere for first-team football and after a farewell substitute appearance against Southampton at Anfield on 25th September 1982, he returned to St. James' Park. After two short spells in Ireland and Cyprus, he signed for Newcastle for a third time and linked up again with Kevin Keegan, who had returned to England after an 8-year 'exile' in Spain to take up the demanding role of manager with the North-East club. Patience was the key to Terry's eventual success as a player. He wanted to play so badly for the club he had grown up supporting and when he finally left Liverpool after over 300 games and nearly 80 goals, he had probably surpassed his wildest dreams by achieving as much as he did during the 8 years he was at Anfield.
