    Only Steven Gerrard: Ron Yeats, a colossus in Liverpool’s club history, passed away on Friday night at the age of 86, having suffered from Alzheimer’s in recent years. He was Liverpool’s first captain to lift the FA Cup.

    “Liverpool FC is mourning the passing of legendary former captain Ron Yeats.The thoughts of everyone at LFC are with Ron’s wife, Ann, all of his family and his friends at this incredibly sad time. Flags across club sites will be lowered to half-mast today as a mark of respect,” Liverpool said in a statement on Saturday.

    A July 1961 signing from Dundee United, defender Yeats was one of the transformative players of Shankly’s fledgling revolution at the Reds, helping lift the club out of the doldrums of an extended spell stuck in the Second Division.
