Liverpool paid Chelsea a club-record fee to secure the services of powerful centre-forward Tony Hateley.

<p>Hateley had already scored more than 150 league goals for Notts County, Aston Villa and Chelsea when he arrived at Anfield as a 26-year-old and looked to still have the best years of his career ahead of him.</p><p>He scored a hat-trick in his third league match for the Reds and missed only four First Division fixtures during his debut season, netting 16 times in all.</p><p>Hateley added another eight goals as Liverpool reached the FA Cup quarter-finals, including four in one game as Walsall were thrashed 5-2 in a fourth-round replay on Merseyside. His three goals in Europe meant he had scored 27 goals in his first season.</p><p>He never managed to repeat the success of that first campaign and his career at Anfield was to be only a brief one. He was substituted at Leeds United on the last day of August 1968 and was never to pull on the famous red shirt again.</p><p>Liverpool's pass-and-move style did not seem to suit Hateley's game and only 15 months after his arrival he was on the move to Coventry City.</p>
