| biography:
| Footballer and manager, born in Glasgow, W Scotland, UK. He joined Glasgow Celtic in 1967, transferring to Liverpool in 1977 for a then record fee between two British clubs of £440 000. He won 102 caps for Scotland, in addition to three European Cups. Unexpectedly invited to manage Liverpool while still a player, he confounded the pundits by being an instant success. In his first season, Liverpool won both Cup and League. He is the only player to have scored 100 goals in both English and Scottish football. He joined Newcastle United as manager in 1997. In 1999 he returned to Celtic as director of football. |
