NewsLiverpool's Greatest - No.43: Jan Molby

• Years: 1984-1995

• Appearances: 292

The ‘Great Dane’ Jan Molby was so suited to Liverpool he even developed a Scouse accent.

A 1984 signing from AFC Ajax, he perfectly fit the bill of the Reds’ pass-and-move philosophy of the time.

What the stocky midfielder lacked in physical attributes, he more than made up for in technical ability.

Molby was quite simply a wizard with the ball at his feet.

Whether it was spreading a pass to the other side of the pitch, plucking the ball from the sky or unleashing a shot into the top corner, Molby’s skillset would leave most footballers envious.

He was also deadly from the penalty spot, scoring 42 out of his 45 efforts for Liverpool – a success rate of 93 per cent.

It was in the 1985-86 season when Molby really arrived at Anfield.

He appeared 58 times and scored 21 goals in that Double-winning campaign, which ended with him helping to create all three goals scored in the FA Cup final victory over Everton.

Molby would lift the First Division title on two more occasions, as well as the FA Cup, before the end of that decade.

The club lurched into a new era when Kenny Dalglish departed as manager, and he served as an experienced figure to successors Graeme Souness and Roy Evans.

Molby was a starter in the 1992 FA Cup final win against Sunderland, one of 40 games he played that season.

The last of his 292 Liverpool appearances came in March 1995 – and, fittingly, he bowed out with a conversion from 12 yards.

Molby was named as an ‘Honorary Scouser’ by the Lord Mayor of Liverpool in 2009.
