Paisley's All-time Liverpool XI

In my lifetime of football experience with Liverpool, I have played with, treated, coached and managed a host of great players and it has always been a temptation for me - and others - to choose my best all-time team. I now succumb to the temptation and commit this 4-2-4 line-up to print:

Ray Clemence Phil Neal Mark Lawrenson

Ron Yeats Emlyn Hughes Kenny Dalglish

Graeme Souness Ian Callaghan Kevin Keegan

Roger Hunt Billy Liddell Ian St John (sub)

Sir Bob quote
"Sometimes it would be even seven or eight-a-side, it just depended on any particular day but I always used to get picked to be on their side. Bob would be in goal. He would put the gloves on and he used to love diving about double-handedly punching every ball that came his way. Shanks played at the back, directing things and you would have Reuben, Ronnie and Joe in there as well. They had me in to do all the running about as I was the only kid at the time. They were proper games, though. There was little holding back." Jimmy Case remembers the five-a-sides at Melwood
