Ian St John was signed by Liverpool for £37,500 from Motherwell, becoming an Anfield great during the Shankly era.
With the Reds, he won the League Division One title in 1964 and 1966, League Division Two title in 1962, FA Cup in 1965 (scoring the iconic winning goal with a diving header against Leeds United) and became a European Cup Winners' Cup runner-up in 1966.
Ian later partnered Jimmy Greaves to form the ground-breaking 1980s football TV show, Saint and Greavesie.
