Hopkin was signed by Liverpool from Manchester United in 1921. He had made 74 appearances and scored eight goals in two post-war seasons at United, where his career began in earnest. United were given a fine of £350 at the time for paying Hopkin more than the maximum wage and for promising to give him a cut of his transfer fee which was illegal. Left-winger Hopkin was an 'ever-present' during Liverpool's 1921/22 championship season. Another title followed a year later when Hopkin missed just two matches and scored his first goal for the club...

"The party afterwards was at the Holiday Inn, just down from St Peter's itself. It was the last of its type. It was still (just) the age of soccer's innocence then. The press were invited and the world and his wife were allowed to gatecrash so long as they were decked in red. A number of the obits to Paisley mentioned that, however much the champagne bubbled, the beaming manager bursting out of his ill-fitting Burton's blue suit refused to take a drink, so he could "drink in the atmosphere and the achievement."
"Well, true in fact but not in theory. Halfway through the do a big mitt gripped my arm fondly. "A Keating's a boy who should know," said Bob. "D'you think there's any chance of getting a bottle of Guinness round here?" I searched every nook. The St Peter's Holiday Inn did not stock Guinness. "Ah me," said Bob, "that means only me and the Pope up the road and Horace [Yates, the teetotal sports editor of the Liverpool Daily Post] over there are the only three sober men in Rome tonight."
Liverpool’s current Premier League campaign has been one of contrast, strong attacking output on one hand, and periods of inconsistency on the other. A statistical breakdown of their season reveals a team still competing at a high level, but one that has not fully matched the dominance of their strongest recent campaigns.
There's a reason Liverpool supporters have developed a habit of holding their breath when big news breaks. The club operates at extremes. Decisions that look questionable on announcement day end up defining trophy-winning eras, while others that seemed perfectly sensible at the time dragged the club backwards for the better part of three or four years.
Liverpool has already said goodbye to some significant players, but some of them have a different emotional coloring. They do not simply eliminate good in the team. They change the figure of a team in their heads. Andy Robertson is one of them. He is more than a left-back, as he has been doing so for almost ten years. He has been one of the most articulate translations of the Liverpool character: tough, violent, sentimental and never backward.
