 Ron Yeats - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Yeats, a stockily-built 6ft 2in central defender, was bought by manager Bill Shankly in 1961 from United and was immediately installed as captain as Liverpool gained promotion from the Second Division after eight seasons away from football's top flight.
Yeats lived up to the reputation, and his nickname "The Colossus," his huge frame gave him, playing at the heart of Liverpool's defence for a decade and winning the club's first major honours in nearly 20 years.
Yeats skippered Liverpool to another League title in 1966 and during this period also won two caps for Scotland, the first came on the 3rd October '64 in a 3-2 defeat to Wales at Ninian Park Cardiff.

 Forgotten Hero: #7 Ron Yeats   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
Ron - inevitably nicknamed “rowdy” after Clint Eastwoods TV cowboy of that era - was made skipper within 5 months of his arrival and exercised monumental influence as the team galloped to promotion in his first season.
As the 60’s wore on the Yeats game, though still essentially rugged, acquired a little more polish and it was a rare adversary who could unsettle him.
By the end of the decade Ron had turned 32 and was beginning to suffer back trouble, but when he eventually yielded his place to Larry Lloyd he still had the impressive mouthpiece for colleagues in dealings with management, and he was a commendable influence on younger players.

As well as going out and buying in Yeats, St. John and for his subsequent teams, Thomson, Hughes, Hateley, Keegan, Clemence and Toshack, Shankly recognised the talent he already had at his disposal.
Now, a new giant leads out a new breed and as Ron Yeats watches the Houllier revolution from close quarters, in his capacity as the club's chief scout, he can allow himself a wry smile at the memory of that famous press conference 40 years ago.
