For the third edition of our 100 Players Who Shook the Kop spotlight, LFC curator Stephen Done reveals the main reason why Albert Stubbins should get your vote – the Beatles loved him.

Albert Stubbins

Stubbins was a clinical centre-forward who thrilled fans at Anfield, notching 83 goals in 178 appearances and helping the Reds secure the 1947 league championship.

"He was central to Liverpool's great 1946-47 season - scoring vital goals," Done explained.

"He shook the Kop because he was one of those players that the fans loved to watch - they roared and cheered him and he soon had a posse of devoted fans. People came to see him.

i did not know that the Beatles liked or followed football, let alone our team. Macca has always evaded questions of his allegiance maybe not wanting to hurt the Mersey faithful who loved them. nevertheless i was a Beatles fan long before i became a LFC fan. WHAT A BAND/WHAT A TEAM.
