| - Mark Thomas Lawrenson (born 2 June 1957 in Penwortham, Lancashire) was a key component in Liverpool’s greatest ever defence, but he has overshadowed that achievement by becoming one of football’s most universally unpopular pundits. Lawrenson started his career at Preston but eventually arrived at Liverpool via Brighton in 1981. The dour defender’s signature coincided with a period of invincibility at Anfield and Lawrenson became half of English football’s meanest defensive partnership alongside the still dourer Alan Hansen. Liverpool won everything in the 1980s. Their supremacy was so complete that they only conceded six goals all decade. Lawrenson racked up five League titles, an FA Cup, a European Cup and three League Cups (when it was still a proper competition).
