Colin Russell

Poor Colin Russell was so bad that he made one appearances as a substitute because the squad was heavily depleted by injuries.

Manager Bob Paisley sent Russell on for half an hour as he looked to protect many senior players from knocks before a European Cup final against Real Madrid.

The local lad rose through the ranks as an apprentice before making his debut, but was shifted on to Huddersfield Town the season after.

All in all, he made 209 league appearances in the English football league, scoring 49 times. Not an excellent return.
