Profile

Hodgson arrived as an England under-21 international and was tipped to have a bright future ahead of him.

His record of 20 goals in 140 matches for Middlesbrough was hardly prolific, but he made an impressive start to life at Anfield, notching four times in his first six games.

He ended the campaign with nine goals in 37 matches and seemed to revel in the opportunity of playing alongside the likes of Ian Rush and Kenny Dalglish.

However, the arrival of Michael Robinson limited his chances and and he left L4 after the successful treble-winning season of 83-84.
