Timeline

1932

This brought top division football back to Tannadice Park for the first time since they had been relegated in 1932.

1937

Ronald Yeats (born 15 November 1937) is a Scottish former association footballer.

1956

In 1956, following a leg break, Yeats had a trial with Elgin City, then a Highland League club, but was not offered a contract.

1957

In 1957 he was signed by Dundee United, then a part-time club of Scottish Division Two.

Previous to signing for the club, he worked in a slaughter house in Aberdeen.

Yeats's 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.

1959

In 1959–60, Kerr's first full season in charge, St Johnstone finished as Division Two champions.

United's challengers for the second promotion spot were Hamilton Academical and Queen of the South.

Hamilton were beaten 5–1 at Tannadice with seven games to go before a crowd of over 11,000, putting Hamilton firmly in United's rear view.

United went to Palmerston Park to play the Ivor Broadis inspired Queen of the South with three games to go.

United returned home with a 4–4 draw to maintain their one-point advantage over QoS.

Promotion was clinched with a last game of the season 1–0 home win against Berwick Rangers before a crowd of near 17,000.

1960

He was a key defender in the rejuvenation of Dundee United in the early 1960s.

He then spent a decade at Liverpool captaining them to six trophies in the mid-1960s.

He later had three years as player/manager at Tranmere Rovers.

Yeats was also player/manager at Barrow and Santa Barbara Condors.

He also made appearances for the Scotland national team.

Yeats was an Under-15 schoolboy international who played for Aberdeen Lads' Club, a Junior club in his home town of Aberdeen.

In the following 1960–61 season, United retained their top division place, finishing in ninth.

Other players to flourish like Yeats were the forward pair Dennis Gillespie and Jim Irvine.

Yeats played 118 matches (95 in the league) for Dundee United.

Yeats won both his full caps for Scotland during the three seasons when the Liverpool team of the 1960s were at their peak.

1961

Yeats, a stockily-built 6 ft 2 in central defender, was bought by manager Bill Shankly in 1961 from United for a fee of around £20,000 and was immediately installed as captain.

When Yeats was signed, Shankly was so impressed with the physical presence of his new player that he told waiting journalists "The man is a mountain, go into the dressing room and walk around him".

Shankly later described Yeats's arrival, along with that of striker Ian St. John also in the 1961 close season, as the "turning point" as Liverpool began their quest to compete with — and beat — the best in England and in Europe.

Yeats made his debut in a 2–0 league victory over Bristol Rovers at Eastville on 19 August 1961.

After Yeats's first season, Liverpool gained promotion from the Second Division with a runaway eight point margin over their nearest rivals (two points for a win) after eight seasons away from English football's top flight.

1963

His first goal came on 23 November 1963 in the 75th minute of the 1–0 First Division victory over Manchester United at Old Trafford.

Yeats lived up to the reputation and the nickname ("The Colossus") his huge frame gave him, playing at the heart of Liverpool's defence for a decade and winning the club's first major honours in nearly 20 years.

Liverpool were the 1963–64 Football League Champions.

1964

The next season, they won the 1964–65 FA Cup beating Leeds United 2–1 after extra time in the final at Wembley.

This was the club's first ever win of that trophy.

However Liverpool lost in the European Cup semi-final to Inter Milan that season.

The first came on 3 October 1964 in a 3–2 defeat to Wales at Ninian Park Cardiff.

1965

The next season Yeats skippered Liverpool to the 1965–66 Football League title.

1966

In Europe Liverpool reached the 1966 UEFA Cup Winners' Cup Final at Hampden Park in Yeats native Scotland.

However Liverpool lost out after extra time to Borussia Dortmund.

In the 1966–67 European Cup second round, Yeats and co were given a torrid time by a Johan Cruyff inspired Ajax who won 5–1 in Amsterdam and 7–3 on aggregate.

1970

The success of Liverpool then dried up, and he was one of the high-profile victims of a massive cull of the older players which Shankly ruthlessly undertook in 1970 in an effort to rebuild the side for a new decade.

1971

After 454 games, Yeats left in 1971.
