Gerry Byrne
Gerry Byrne, a Liverpool-born full-back, is remembered above all for his extraordinary display in the 1965 FA Cup final against Leeds United, playing almost the entire match with a broken collarbone sustained in an early collision, at a time when substitutes were not permitted. His bravery helped Liverpool go on to win the match and lift the FA Cup for the first time in the club's history. Byrne made 333 appearances between 1957 and 1969, winning two league titles during the Bill Shankly era, and is remembered as one of the most courageous players ever to wear the shirt.
