PROFILE
Scottish wing half Tommy Leishman shared the distinction of arriving at Anfield in
the same month as Bill Shankly in November 1959.
Signed from St Mirren for 9,000 pounds, with whom he had won a Scottish Cup winners
medal, Tommy was a cultured player who added pace and drive to Liverpool's midfield and he
played a big role in the Division Two Championship season of 1961-62, missing just two
games.
He then started in Liverpool's first Division One campaign for eight years but was
replaced by compatriot Willie Stevenson, and moved on to Hibernian for 10,000 pounds in
1963. |
