  PROFILE

  Russell played in goal for Liverpool during the first part of the 1950's. Crossley had his work cut out to become first-choice goalkeeper with LFC having four keepers on their books at the same time. Crossley made 25 appearances compared to the 11 by Cyril Sidlow and the 6 of Charlie Ashcroft during the 1950-51 season. Sidlow had left the club by the start of the of the 1951-52 season but Ashcroft was first-choice and Russell only made 8 more appearances in the No. 1 jersey that year and another 19 the following season when the goalkeeping duties were shared rather more equally. He took over from Ashcroft after the first half-dozen games of the 1953-54 season but had been replaced by Dave Underwood before the end of the season.
