1. Billy Liddell
For a certain generation of Liverpool fans, Billy Liddell remains the greatest player ever to pull on a Reds jersey. Such was his impact, supporters even renamed the club in his honour, coining the nickname 'Liddellpool'.
It all began on a January afternoon in 1946, when Reds manager George Kay handed the left winger his debut - along with a certain Bob Paisley - in an FA Cup third-round tie against Chester.
Liverpool fans didn't have to wait long for a glimpse of what was to come from the youngster. He opened the scoring just 30 minutes into an eventual 2-0 victory and later marked his league debut with a brace in a 7-4 win over Chelsea at Anfield.
'King Billy' was made captain in 1955 and, by now playing as a forward, would eventually end his 534-game Liverpool career as the fourth highest goalscorer in the club's history, with 137 of his 228 strikes coming in front of the adoring home fans.
