King Billy quote
"LIDDELL took the kick himself and recorded his hat-trick with a shot that Ditchburn could only watch go speeding into the net, at the pace of a bullet. He could have dived and tried to save the shot, but chose to stand still and avoid any injury. At this point you must ask yourself the question, would you get in the way of a Liddell penalty? No, I thought not, therefore you cannot blame the Spurs keeper for his actions or lack of them." From Liverpool Echo's match report on Tottenham – Liverpool on 1st December 1951

A message from Mal Liddell, Billy's son! 09.03.2009 "Its now in my 59th. year I am realising what my dad meant to many people. As a young child there was the journey to town I remember when just about everyone we passed acknowledged him. I always thought he knew loads of people, and didnt really know he was such a footballing icon. In this day with the massive salaries afforded to todays footballers the idea of playing the game for the love of it and the loyalty one might associate to one team is not as apparent as when my Dad played. The journey man footballer is all too apparent today. which really brings it home to you when you consider my Dad only ever played for Liverpool. It is superb that his memory still lives on."
