Player Notes:
Leishman excelled in the 2nd division but was surplus to requirements when Liverpool made the step up to top-flight football. Tommy was a Scottish wing-half who arrived at Anfield as a 22 year old from St. Mirren in November 1959. He figured in 15 of the last 19 League matches of the 1959-60 season and became a regular member of the side for the next two years, missing only 3 Second Division fixtures during that period. Liverpool finally climbed back into the top division after winning the Second Division title by 8 points from Leyton Orient but although Tommy started the club's first Division One campaign for eight years, he was soon replaced by his compatriot Willie Stevenson. |
