Billy Liddell  (10 January 1922 – 3 July 2001) was one of the finest players of the post-war years. Scottish-born Liddell was one of Liverpool's greatest talents before the transformation in the club's fortunes under Bill Shankly.  His trademarks were exhilarating pace and power, allied to an almost delicate skill.  He was spotted, as a fifteen year old playing for the Lochgelly Violet club, by Matt Busby, then a half-back with Liverpool, who recommended him to club who signed him in 1939. Liddell would  go on to score 229 goals in 537 appearances for the club.   He was capped 28 times for Scotland and was (with Stanley Matthews) the only player to be called up to represent the Great Britain sides in both 1947 and 1955.  He was a special nightmare to Alf Ramsey, when Ramsey was Tottenham and England's right-back. "I always knew I was in for a hectic afternoon when I was marking Billy," Ramsey said. "The only way to try to hold him was to beat him to possession of the ball. Once he had it, he was difficult to stop."   Despite Liverpool's subsequent success, Liddell is still considered by many to have been the greatest player ever to have represented the club.   In November 2004, forty years after he retired  the club unveiled a plaque to Liddell inside the Kop by the entrance to the club's museum.  Among those present was Ian Callaghan, the man who eventually replaced Liddell in the Liverpool side.
