sell, if the loan spell was unsuccessful. Money later admitted that he was "distraught" at the decision and "fell out with Ron big time over it." Despite the move to Forest falling through, many suitors remained interested in the defender and in November 1977 - Scunthorpe accepted Fulham's £50,000 offer. This was a then-club record sale for Scunthorpe and also included a 10 per cent cut of any profit Fulham made in the future by selling Money on. During his time in West London, Money received four call-ups to the England under-21 squad, gained one England B cap in a game against New Zealand, before eventually making 106 league appearances for the Cottagers. Money again attracted a number of suitors whilst at Craven Cottage, before eventually signing for Bob Paisley's Liverpool on 1 May 1980, for £350,000; with Scunthorpe gaining a £30,000 slice of Fulham's £300,000 profit.

Following Alan Kennedy breaking his wrist in the first leg at Anfield, Money starred in the second leg away at Bayern Munich in the unfamiliar role of left-back. Defying their huge underdog status after the first-leg 0–0 draw, Liverpool progressed to the European Cup final on away goals thanks to a 1–1 draw, with Money's performance drawing public praise from Real Madrid winger Laurie Cunningham. This would prove to be the highlight of Money's career at Liverpool however, as he was later an unused substitute for the final, saying: "There was a break before the final and I knew Alan (Kennedy) would be fit. I genuinely felt in my own mind that Alan would play. I'd never thought of it as anything other than a foregone conclusion that he'd back." However, after Liverpool's signing of Mark Lawrenson from Brighton that summer, Money fell down the pecking order at Anfield and did not make any appearances for
