What a buy. What a player and what a lovely bloke. In the days when players still used to live in the community and were paid a thousand times less than today, I remember he had a petrol station on Picton Road when he retired. "Jet" petrol station I think it was. At least that's what my old man used to tell me every time we went past.
The fella just breathed authority. Don't remember him scoring many mind

My brother bought an old program Rangers V The Army 1960. Yeats was playing centre half for the army so assume he was doing national service. A guy called Strong was also playing but not sure if our Geoff Strong? Willy Stevenson was playing for Rangers.

Strong (Arsenal)

Geoff Strong

1954–1957   Stanley United
1957–1964   Arsenal   125
1964–1970   Liverpool   155
1970–1971   Coventry City   33

Yup.

From Yeats's wiki:

"Yeats' career took an upward turn following Jerry Kerr's appointment: Kerr regarded Yeats as so vital to the fortunes of the team he sought his release to play each Saturday from the military authorities while Yeats served his National Service."

Met him a few times in the Centre Half Cafe he owned in Old Swan...fuckin huge man! Lovely fella, the Cafe is still there, thinks it's called Swan Cafe now, but still run the pretty much the same, less. greasy spoon I suppose, but still basic all day brekkie etc!

As I player I loved him too, just an unbeatable force at the back, my first real LFC hero, followed by Kevin Keegan.
