Ian Ross

Ian Ross will forever be remembered as Der Kaiser’s shadow, when he man-marked Bayern’s Franz Beckenbauer to perfection in a European Fairs Cup game on 24 March 1971 in Munich. He even had the time to score Liverpool’s goal in a 1-1 draw. The Glaswegian signed professional forms for Liverpool in August 1965 when he was 18-year-old. He’d had trials at both Arsenal and Chelsea, but was forced to stay in a hotel in London, but when Liverpool came calling the club put him up with a family and that made all the difference.

Kop Quote

Albert Stubbins went on a much-publicised, self-imposed strike prior to the 1948/49 season.

It’d always been my intention to pursue a career in journalism once my playing days ended. When I signed for Liverpool the chairman Bill McConnell arranged for me to write a column in the Football Echo. When Bill died, the board felt they weren’t responsible for his promise. There was some confusion and that’s why I delayed signing-on. It was all very amicable and at no time did the club and myself ever fall out. It was a private matter and that’s why so few people knew the real reason behind the dispute. It was widely assumed that my family was unsettled on Merseyside.

Red Corner

Liverpool’s Left Flank Is Losing One of Its Defining Players

15 April 2026

Liverpool has already said goodbye to some significant players, but some of them have a different emotional coloring. They do not simply eliminate good in the team. They change the figure of a team in their heads. Andy Robertson is one of them. He is more than a left-back, as he has been doing so for almost ten years. He has been one of the most articulate translations of the Liverpool character: tough, violent, sentimental and never backward.
