Ronnie Moran: The remarkable life of 'Mr Liverpool'

The revered former player, captain, coach and caretaker manager – and much more besides – passed away on Wednesday morning.

Moran first joined the Reds as a player in 1949, signing professional forms three years later, and subsequently dedicated five decades of his life to the insatiable and successful pursuit of collecting trophies.

A defender during his own career – which involved 379 appearances, including 47 as skipper – his connection to Liverpool continued far beyond his days on the pitch, as a founding member of the fabled Boot Room and in a variety of backroom roles until 1998.
