Which two players did Liverpool break the British Transfer Record for?

Stan Collymore was one.

Statto please define "British Transfer Record" - do you mean a transfer between two british clubs only? Because I consider Real Madrid paying 80m for Ronaldo as them breaking the British Transfer Record. If not then your second answer is probably Andy Carroll.

Then Collymore is the only answer I can think of, Ronaldo's 80m was before Carroll's 35m.

Keegan

Keegan and Rush were British records when sold to Hamburg and Juventus.

Keegan and Rush were British records when sold to Hamburg and Juventus.

Exactly, Liverpool didn't break the transfer record for them is the way I read the question. For implies they paid for someone.

 

[Mumorn]

well then it'll be Keegan and Rush

 

[spitshine]

Then I would say it is collymore and Carroll

 

[THFC6061]

Ian rush when they got him back from Juventus?

Yes, Kevin Keegan (£500,000 from SV Hamburg in June 1977) and Ian Rush (£3,200,000 from Juventus in June 1987).

That Ian Rush transfer was to Juventus. He returned to Liverpool a year later for less, although apparently a record paid by a British club. The following is from wiki:

After attracting much interest from top European sides, Rush accepted an offer to sign for Italian club Juventus on 2 July 1986 for a British record transfer fee of £3.2m[7]. However, he continued to play at Liverpool for one season on loan before making his début for Juventus.

....

After just one season at the Stadio Comunale, he returned to Anfield, rejoining Liverpool for £2.7m on 18 August 1988 – a record signing for an English club at the time, which remained unbroken for three years. It was the third time that summer that the national transfer record had been broken.
