As the 2022 edition of the tournament begins in Qatar, we’ve whipped up a combined XI of Reds who have turned it on at the game’s greatest international event.
GOALKEEPER: HARRY GREGG (1958)
Harry Gregg might not be the most famous goalkeeper to don the red shirt, but he might well be the most beloved. Just three months after joining the club, the Northern Irishman was branded a hero for his bravery in the Munich Air Disaster in February 1958. Later that year, he took part in the World Cup in Sweden and drew widespread acclaim when he repelled wave after wave of Czechoslovakian attacks to ensure his country – who were at the finals for the first time – preserved a 1-0 lead and won their opening game.
