PROFILE
On his day Liverpool born winger Jimmy Payne was quite brilliant and early comparisons likened him to Stanley Matthews and Tom Finney.
However, Payne was a confidence player and was dogged by inconsistency and supporters turning on him. In fairness to Payne though he was switched from his best position in a misguided move and wasn't at all comfortable in an inside left role.
He made his Liverpool debut in September 1948 against Bolton Wanderers and missed only one league match up until the end of the season. He played in the 1950 FA Cup Final when Liverpool lost 2-0 to Arsenal.
After losing confidence he made the short trip across Stanley Park to join Everton in April 1956 for a fee of around £5,000 but a series of niggling injuries saw him make just six appearances for the Blues, and he announced his retirement from the game at the premature age of 30 to become a newsagent in the city.
