My Take
St John earns my respect as one of the foundations Liverpool was built on. The Motherwell-born Scot was signed by Bill Shankly in 1961 and helped drag a second-tier club back to glory, capped by his winning goal in the 1965 FA Cup final, a moment etched permanently into the club's history. What strikes me is how he stayed woven into the game afterward, first as a coach and then as a much-loved broadcaster. He passed in 2021, but few figures remain so beloved both on the pitch and on screen. I find it worth remembering that men like him sit at the very root of a great club's tradition.
