Alan Scott

Scott was selected to play in Liverpool's forward-line on the opening day of the 1929/30 first division season but it was not a happy debut for him as the team was crushed by five goals to nil at Middlesbrough. That was his only appearance of that campaign and he had to wait until 27 December 1930 to be picked again.

Kop Quote

Terry Mac reacting to when he was voted no. 37 in "The 100 players who shook the Kop" in 2006.

"Who voted for that by the way? Some of the players who got in front of me.. I thought... Stevie Wonder must have voted. Just to be in the top 100... Things like that don't bother me. I get wound up by the guys at Newcastle, 'You're only 37, we thought you were a good player.' To be in the top 37 at Liverpool, I'm very proud of that... Maybe I should have been number 20, not 37."
