Ron Yeats - "Come and have a walk round our new centre half", as Bill Shankly once said to a reporter who was interviewing him.

RIP.

This is a huge loss for Liverpool, a real Anfield icon.

Three, maybe more in the same team: Lawrence, Yeats, St John. What a spine!

Like others have said one of those players who formed part of my early days watching football on TV, sure he played in the first MOTD I ever watched. Also sure I saw him at the Goldstone playing for Tranmere towards the end of his career.

RIP

Played at The Goldstone in his first season for Liverpool too - and no, I wasn't there! Did watch him from the Kop in my time in Liverpool though.

Was one of the players who took Liverpool from a mid div 2 team to div 1 and made them the team they are now
