Bobby Campbell is best known as a manager but he started his career with Liverpool and made his debut in 1959.
Born in the Scotland Road area of the city, he signed for the club as an amateur before turning professional in May 1954.
Campbell made his first team debut for the Reds in September 1959 and went on to make a further 12 appearances during that campaign, scoring his one and only goal for the club in the process, at home to Bristol Rovers.
He was to make only one more appearance in a red shirt the following season before moving on to Portsmouth. His playing career was cut short by injury soon after his 30th birthday but Bobby managed the likes of Fulham, Portsmouth and Chelsea with a fair degree of success in the late 1980's.
