Republic of Ireland striker Aldridge was a prolific goalscorer and enjoyed two and a half years at his hometown club, signing from Oxford in 1987 and going on to score 63 goals in 104 games for the Reds. He netted 26 times in the 87/88 season on the way to the title and scored the following season in the FA Cup final against Everton at Wembley.

Fellow Scouser McMahon, a tough-tackling, goalscoring midfielder started his career at Everton, joining Liverpool from Aston Villa in 1985. He was new manager Kenny Dalglish’s first signing - and a replacement for the departing Graham Souness. No pressure there then, but he played a crucial role in the 1986 double winning side.

He was also an FA Cup winner in 89 and a title winner in 1990 - the last time the Reds were champions.

The former captain was sold by incoming manager Souness in 1991.

The Irish international won six titles in the Liverpool midfield as well as two FA Cups, three League Cups and the 1984 European Cup.
