Moran made his debut for Liverpool on 22 November 1952 in a defeat to Derby County. His final appearance in a Liverpool shirt came against Inter Milan in the second leg of the European Cup semi-final on 12 May 1965. During his 16 year career at Liverpool, Moran made 379 appearances in all competitions, scoring 17 goals.
Managing[]
Due to the shock departure of Kenny Dalglish, Moran was instated as caretaker manager for the last ten games of the 1990-91 season, but declined taking the management up on a permanent basis, and Graeme Souness was appointed subsequently. Moran enjoyed another spell as caretaker manager in the following season when Souness was admitted to hospital with a heart problem, Moran managed the final eight games, including the FA Cup semi-final win over Portsmouth. Souness returned for the FA Cup Final against Sunderland however. With his two spells combined, Moran managed 18 games, winning 5 of them, as well as the FA Cup penalty shootout victory against Portsmouth.
