Six feet two inches tall and 14-and-a-half stone, Ron Yeats' giant frame matched up to his stature in LFC's history.

The defender was one of Bill Shankly's first signings and, just like his compatriot Ian St John, proved crucial to turning the Reds' fortune.

Incredibly, Yeats' exploits at Anfield brought him just two international caps between 1964 and 1966.

But he will never be short of admirers on Merseyside thanks to his role in Liverpool's illustrious history.
