Reports that Ron Yeats the Liverpool legend has died aged 86. Surprised that he only got 2 Scotland caps mind you that was in the days when we had great centre half's unlike these last few years.

Week 36 update

One death this week, former Liverpool captain Ron Yeats: Ron Yeats obituary | Football | The Guardian

Quote

The footballer Ron Yeats, who has died aged 86, was captain of Liverpool in the mid-1960s when they made their breakthrough back into the big time, winning League Championships in 1964 and 1966 as well as an FA Cup in between.

For most of the decade before that, Liverpool had been nothing more than a decent Division Two side. But a new manager, Bill Shankly, joined in 1959 and began to rebuild with Yeats, a fellow Scot, as his on-the-field leader.

A stocky 6ft 2in central defender nicknamed “the Colossus”, Yeats had formidable physical and mental strength, which made him an ideal captain for Shankly. Within two seasons he had led the side up to Division One, and within another two had delivered the 1964 League Championship.

Isn't this what we all want for our football teams? An absolute unit in the centre of defence?

Yeats died at 86 so he's worth 39 Base Points for @amnarab, with a Solo Shot taking that to 89 points.

As a result, the standings look like this:

1. Ned Nederlander 797

You have scottsdad down as 297 points. By my count (and by the tally on your spreadsheet), it should be 307, putting him one point ahead of (sigh) @Aim Here

Was it Ron Yeats that Shankly introduced to the press by inviting them to walk round him?
