FORGOTTEN HISTORY: Liverpool 75m transfer record under threat as clock ticks on new landmark | History Defined

What has Jurgen Klopp done as many times at Liverpool as Kenny Dalglish and Gerard Houllier, but only a third as often as Bill Shankly? Before you go rummaging around in your brainbox, a clue is that it doesn't involve silverware. Well, at least not a trophy in a tangible sense.

Congratulations, though, if you determined the answer refers to the number of times a respective manager has broken the club's post-war transfer record. A little niche, perhaps. But for some supporters, spending increasingly massive amounts can sometimes feel as impressive as watching the Reds claim another honour.

Since football restarted after the Second World War - and the recording of fees became common practice - the Liverpool transfer record has been broken on 19 separate occasions. It may be surprising, though, to discover it has become an increasingly rare occurrence.
