Anfield legend Ron Yeats has been scouting for Liverpool since the 1980s and works as part of the club's vast scouting network.
 
Dubbed 'The Colossus' in his playing days by Bill Shankly, Yeats has good eyes for a player and he was the man to discover Sami Hyypia when the Reds captain was playing Dutch football with Willem II.

The man Bill Shankly signed and appointed captain to lead Liverpool out of the old Second Division in 1961-62 after the club had languished in the football wilderness for eight seasons, Yeats was an inspirational, 6ft 2ins centre half who went on to win Scotland recognition.

Yeats proved the rock on which the opposition's attacking ambitions were wrecked and he was the first skipper in Liverpool history to lift the FA Cup after the Wembley conquest of Leeds in 1965.

After league championship success, Yeats moved into management at nearby Tranmere Rovers before he moved back to Anfield as Liverpool's Chief Scout in the 1980s.
