Video: Anfield rises in tribute to Liverpool FC legend Ron Yeats
Anfield rose in tribute to legendary former captain Ron Yeats ahead of Saturday’s Premier League meeting with Nottingham Forest.
Yeats, who wore the armband for Liverpool more than 400 times, was the first Reds skipper to lift the FA Cup, and the centre-back also won two top-flight league titles during a decade with the club from 1961.
The man described as a ‘colossus’ by Bill Shankly sadly passed away at the age of 86 last week.
At the first men’s home match since Yeats’ passing, supporters delivered an applause in his honour before kick-off, while a special mosaic was also formed on the Kop.
See the tributes in the video below.
