    Nigel Clough was said to be a footballer created for Liverpool when Graeme Souness pounced to sign him from Nottingham Forest.

    He was even dubbed the 'new Kenny Dalglish' and wore the hallowed No.7 shirt; many Kopites felt he was the missing link for the attack since the departure of favourite Peter Beardsley.

    Clough made one of the best debuts in Reds history, scoring two goals on the opening day of the 1993-94 season against Sheffield Wednesday at Anfield.

    He lost his place alongside Ian Rush in attack because of the emergence of a certain Robbie Fowler, but he did bounce back in an attacking midfield role.

    One game that Clough will always be associated with is the famous 3-3 draw with Manchester United at Anfield, when he was instrumental in turning a 3-0 deficit into a 3-3 draw with two great goals.

    He was mainly used as a substitute the following season and halfway through the 1995-96 campaign he was sold by Roy Evans to Manchester City.
