John Robertson was brought by First Division Stoke to England and certainly made an impression at the Potters, playing 100 games in three years.
The Scottish full-back was only on Liverpool's books for two years, but he did win a League championship medal in the first of those seasons, 1900-01, which was also a first for the club too.
John made 22 consecutive appearances from the start of the season before John Glover took over for the next nine matches, but Robertson was back in place for the final three fixtures of the season as the title was secured by two points from runners-up Sunderland.
A year later it was Glover who started in the first-team as the club's right-back but John came back into contention during the second-half of the season and made a further 17 First Division appearances.
