Ronnie Moran has
the honour of being the longest serving Liverpool employee,
having joined the club as an apprentice before signing a
professional contract in January 1952. By the time he
retired from the club in 1999, he had completed nearly 50 years
loyal service, and occupied virtually every position available
within the club, from player to manager.
Moran also has the
honour of having worked with nine different managers during his
career, including legends such as Bill Shankly, Bob Paisley, Joe
Fagan and Kenny Dalglish. Indeed, it was the legendary
Bill Shankly who invited Moran to join his coaching staff after
his playing days came to an end in 1968.
Working his way up
the coaching ladder Moran had stints as Youth Team Coach,
Reserve Team Coach, First Team Coach, Assistant Manager and in
1991, took control of the club as 'Caretaker Manager' after the
resignation of Kenny Dalglish. Moran remained in charge
for 10 games, winning 4, before handing over control of the club
to new manager Graeme Souness.
