Liverpool, Arsenal, Aston Villa. Form an orderly queue, lads, and then turn yourselves around, because the Frenchman is staying put. Heâs the most gifted footballer ever to wear the red and white, and the rest of the league can like it or lump it.

Len Shackleton was the âClown Prince of Footballâ, and rightly so. Slick dribbling, jewelled passes and ninety-seven goals in the First Division back when football boots had nails sticking out the bottom. Jim Baxter rocked up after his Rangers peak and gave us a glimpse of Scottish swagger before disappearing into the pubs of Glasgow.
