Billy Liddell was born on 10th January 1922 and played for Liverpool for all of his professional career. He signed with the club in 1938 as a teenager and played a total of 534 games throughout his time at Anfield and scoring 228 goals.
Liddell was often the club’s leading goal scorer in the 1950s
Bill Shankly said of Liddell: “Liddell was some player…He had everything. He was fast, powerful, shot with either foot and his headers were like blasts from a gun. On top of all that he was as hard as granite. What a player! He was so strong – and he took a nineteen-inch collar shirt!”
