PROFILE
 Bob Paisley
plucked Neal from Fourth Division obscurity at Northampton and transformed him into a
player who would captain Liverpool, make 650 appearances, collect a joint-record eight
Championship medals amongst a batch of honours and win 50 England caps.
He was Paisley's first signing, costing just 66,000 pounds in October 1974, and was
plunged into his top flight debut against Everton at Goodison a month later. Neal grasped
his surprise opportunity to launch a glittering career essentially as a right back but
with the capability of playing anywhere across the back line.
His tally of 60 goals was amassed largely through his expertise from the penalty
spot, although one from open play proved to be a golden strike. His goal against Roma in
the 1984 European Cup Final ensured Liverpool went into a victorious penalty shoot-out
against the Italians on their own ground.
Seven years earlier at the same stadium he had dispatched the penalty against Borussia
Moenchengladbach, which clinched Liverpool's first European Cup triumph with a 3-1 win. He
became Bolton player boss in 1985 and later managed Coventry.
