Ian Callaghan
The man with the more appearances than any other Liverpool player – 857 of them in total, which is 120 more than Jamie Carragher and 147 more than Steven Gerrard. During his near 20 year spell with the Liverpool first-team the midfielder won five league titles, two FA Cups, two European Cups, two UEFA Cups, six Charity Shields and the Super Cup. He was a member of the England World Cup winning squad in 1966, receiving his medal in 2009.
Graeme Souness
Souness spent six memorable years at Anfield as a player, featuring 247 times in the league and scoring 38 goals. He was part of three European Cup triumphs, as well as five first division title wins and four League Cup victories. Unfortunately, he wasn’t able to replicate that success at a managerial level, although he did lead the Reds to an FA Cup win in 1992. We beat Sunderland 2-0 in the final with Michael Thomas and Ian Rush scoring the goals.
Steve McMahon
McMahon played 204 league games and scored 29 goals in the late 1980s. He joined Liverpool two years after a four-year stay at Everton and crossed the Mersey via a short spell at Aston Villa. The journeyman midfielder later played for both Manchester City and Swindon Town but it was at Anfield where he enjoyed the most success. He won three first division titles and two FA Cups during his time with us, as well as four Charity Shields.
