A lifelong Red who lived every Liverpool fan's dream in lifting the European Cup as captain in 1981.
Phil Thompson began his journey to Anfield glory with the club’s youth team, impressing in midfield before his talents as a defender resulted in a move to the back four under Bill Shankly.
The Kirkby-born centre-half enjoyed his first taste of success under Shanks but truly came to the fore when the Scot’s successor, Bob Paisley, took the reins.
Thompson and co collected trophies for fun during an incredible period for the club, and in 1979 he was part of a record-breaking back-line that conceded just 16 league goals.
