Ian Rush

Phil Thompson

Phil Thompson’s contribution to the Liverpool team is considered invaluable. He was the captain for the team in 1979 and even trained Alan Hansen.

Ron Yeats

Ron Yeats was the longest serving captain of the club and played 9 years with Liverpool from 1961 onward. His style of playing and his strong leadership set the benchmark for his successors. He attracted fans like a card game of andar bahar attracts many Indian players.

Sami Hyypia

He was always the subtle rock who never made any errors. He played with the club for 10 years and also served as a captain. His last game with the game was in 2004 and for his fans it was a very important moment as described in this article.

Don MacKinlay
