20. Joe Royle (1965-1975) 275 appearances, 119 goals Merseyside-born and home-grown, Joe made his debut aged 16 versus Blackpool. A precocious talent who was a superb header of the ball and an imposing physical presence, Royle scored 23 goals in the 1969/70 championship season at the tender age of just 21. Under Catterick’s inventive management, Joe frequently operated as a lone striker in front of a five-man-midfield, long before the formation became commonplace. His penalty-taking technique was literally stunning….hit the ball as hard as you can!
