The club's first ever star player and the man who helped put Liverpool on the footballing map, Alex Raisbeck captained the Reds to their earliest trophy triumphs.

His Anfield career spanned 11 seasons, during which time the Scotland international evolved into one of the best centre-backs of his era.

In 1900-01, he was the driving force behind Liverpool’s first league success and was even better as they repeated the feat in 1905-06.

Following the shock of relegation two years earlier, Raisbeck had stayed loyal to the club and helped steer them back to the top flight at the first time of asking.
