For a club with as successful and trophy-laden a history as Liverpool, goalscorers inevitably feature highly when the best-loved players to have pulled on the famous red shirt are considered.
Billy Liddell, Roger Hunt, Ian St John, Kevin Keegan, John Toshack, Kenny Dalglish, Ian Rush, Robbie Fowler, Michael Owen, Fernando Torres, Luis Suarez, Mohamed Salah... the names trip off the tongue and their achievements speak for themselves, having won the hearts of generations of Kopites as well as the admiration of fans from much further afield too.
Yet in terms of pure goalscoring, few of the above can match the feats of one sharp-shooter who plied his trade at Anfield for a regrettably brief period but played a key role in one of Liverpool's greatest ever teams and finished his long career having scored more goals in post-war English league football than anyone else.
