Gary Gillespie moved to Liverpool from Coventry City in the summer of 1983 for a fee of £325,000.

His first season saw him make just one first team appearance - a League Cup semi-final against Walsall -

and it was not until the 1986-87 campaign that he really established himself in the starting line-up.

He is pictured above during the 1-1 draw against Sheffield Wed. on 16/11/1986.
