Toshack (born 22/03/49) made his name as a striker with his home-town club Cardiff City, signing professional forms for them on his 17th birthday in March 1966 and giving them fine service for over four years, during which he scored 75 League goals from 162 appearances.
November 1970 saw Toshack arrive at Liverpool for £110,000 and although only scoring 5 times from the 21 League matches he was picked for in his debut season at Anfield, it was clear that his aerial power would be an important part of Liverpool's attack for some years to come.
Toshack had been a Welsh schoolboy international and was a member of his country's full international squad for many years, eventually finishing with 40 caps to add to the 3 he had won earlier at Under-23 level.
