Scottish wing half Tommy Leishman shared the distinction of arriving at Anfield in the same month as Bill Shankly in November 1959.
Signed from St Mirren for £9,000, with whom he had won a Scottish Cup winners medal, Tommy was a cultured player who added pace and drive to Liverpool's midfield and he played a big role in the Division Two Championship season of 1961-62, missing just two games.
He then started in Liverpool's first Division One campaign for eight years but was replaced by compatriot Willie Stevenson, and moved on to Hibernian for £10,000 in 1963.
Honours with Liverpool: Second Division Championship 1961/62
