I had an hour to kill last week so thought I would visit The Holly Johnson exhibition at Liverpool Museum. It was the best £5 I've ever spent. The exhibition offers a fascinating exploration of the life and career of one of the city's most iconic musical talents. #Culture #LiverpoolHistory

Where does he rank among Liverpool's greatest defensive midfielders?
