Ian St John arrived at Anfield from Scotland in May 1961 in a Rolls-Royce. Once he set foot on the field 72 hours later he immediately began to play like one.
His debut was against Everton at Goodison Park in front of 70,000 in the final of the Liverpool Senior Cup. Everton won 4-3 but Liverpool's new forward scored all his team's goals on the back of a single training session.
As for the Rolls, St John had been the passenger. Behind the wheel was Bill Shankly, the Liverpool manager, who wanted to sign the young Scot from Motherwell so badly he borrowed the car from a club director to fetch him.
