Elisha Scott, arguably the greatest footballer to wear the Liverpool FC shirt before the World War II (please accept our apologies, Alex Raisbeck and Gordon Hodgson!), was born on 24 August 1893. He was our first iconic goalkeeper and a man who spent 22 years at #LFC first team. A true Red legend.

Just a few weeks on from preparing this list of #NornIron's 20 most expensive players, Shea Charles has jumped from 2nd (or 1st equal, depending how your accounting works) to 1st by some margin. #GAWA threadreaderapp.com/thread/20814...
