Past playersMatt McQueen

He had already been capped by his country as a winger before moving south to Merseyside and would play in a number of different positions during Liverpool's successful inaugural campaign in the Lancashire League.

McQueen even took over from first-choice goalkeeper Billy McOwen on five occasions, a role he would also fulfil 36 more times in his Anfield career.

He achieved the rarest of feats by winning two championship medals, albeit in the Second Division, as both an outfield player and a goalkeeper.

But when Harry Storer arrived to claim the No.1 shirt towards the end of the 1895-96 season, even McQueen's versatility could not guarantee him a place in the side and he was only selected five times during the next three years.

After he finished playing, he became a qualified referee and was chosen to join Liverpool's board of directors on December 16, 1919.

Then in 1923 he was offered the chance to take over as manager of the Reds when David Ashworth surprisingly left the defending champions to move to Oldham Athletic.

McQueen guided the club safely through to their second successive championship and, despite losing a leg in a car accident shortly afterwards, continued to manage Liverpool until February 1928.

He continued to live in very close proximity to Anfield and was a regular and welcome visitor to the club from the day of his retirement until his death in 1944.
