PROFILE
Alan Arnell managed a respectable scoring rate of one goal every two games during
his eight-year stint at Anfield. Unfortunately, his time with the Reds coincided with one
of the most barren periods in the clubs history.
A highly promising schoolboy, Arnell was signed as an amateur from non-league
Worthing in 1953 and plunged straight into first team action for Don Welsh's Reds. He made
his debut at home to Blackpool and celebrated the occasion by scoring in an impressive 5-2
win against the FA Cup holders.
Standing at 6ft 1in Arnell was commanding in the air but he managed only two more
games and no further goals as the Reds plunged into Division Two that same season.
It was not until the 1955/56 campaign that he enjoyed a prolonged run in the first
team but he was never really able to establish himself as a regular.
In December 1956 he enjoyed perhaps his finest moment in a red shirt when he helped
himself to a hat-trick in a 3-0 success against Huddersfield Town at Anfield.
His Anfield days were numbered once Bill Shankly became manager and in February
1961 he moved across the Mersey to Tranmere Rovers before finishing his career with
Halifax and Runcorn.
In Tranmere Rovers in the 3rd division and scored 34
goals in 68 league games but suffered relegation into 4th divison.
