A club legend. RIP.With Liverpool, for whom he played from 1958-69, Hunt won the top division in 1964 and 1966, and the FA Cup in the season in between, under Bill Shankly. He made 492 appearances for the club and scored 285 goals.
Liverpool were in the Second Division when Hunt joined and his 41 goals in 41 games helped them to the title in 1962. He was the leading scorer for eight seasons in a row, enjoyed a highly successful partnership with Ian St John and was the club’s leading goalscorer until his record was passed by Ian Rush.Another MASSIVE game

As ever, Jurgen says it so perfectly and succinctly...
Jürgen Klopp has paid tribute to Roger Hunt after the legendary former Liverpool forward passed away peacefully at home following a long illness.
With 285 strikes in 492 appearances for the Reds during 11 highly successful years between 1958 and 1969, Hunt is the second-highest goalscorer in the club’s history.
“It’s really sad news and our thoughts and our love go to his family,” Klopp said.
“Unfortunately, it feels too frequent in this moment we are saying farewell to these giants of our club.
“Roger Hunt comes second to no-one in his importance in the history of Liverpool FC, that much is clear.
“To be the goalscoring catalyst of the Shankly team to actually achieve promotion and then go on to win those precious league titles and the FA Cup puts him in a bracket of LFC legends who are responsible for making us the club we are today. Not only that, he was also a World Cup winner in 1966, too.
“I am told the Kop christened him 'Sir Roger' for all his achievements. A goalscorer who never stopped working to help his teammates; I believe he would have fit in well within our current team.
“So, it is Sir Roger we will remember, honour and pay tribute to over the coming days.
“You’ll Never Walk Alone.”Thanks very much for being ‘This Mornings’ Farmer’Comment

I’d love to know how Klopp comes across in German. In his second language he appears to have a pitch perfect understanding for nuance and tone. He just continually nails management and leadership.Modifying post.Comment

He’s right though in that we seem to be saying farewell to the pillars of our great club too regularly. It’s inevitable I know but sad all the same.Me, I’m either planning a holiday or I’m on one.Comment

Daniel Sturridge has signed for Perth Glory in the Australian A League
[ame]https://twitter.com/PerthGloryFC/status/1443757958173585433[/ame]"That's how I found myself on the Kop that day I had my blue-and-white scarf safely tucked away inside my coat as I listened to Liverpool songs and swayed with the masses.
Then City scored and I screeched and this big bloke, a Liverpool supporter, made towards me and I thought he was going to throttle me. But he just pulled my scarf from under my coat so it lay on the outside, and said: "You should always be proud of your colours, lad."

Bloody hell. Studge in the A-League in what should be his prime really. Sad
If he's fit and motivated he should absolutely destroy the carthorse defenders we have in this league

that goal was amazing.
Remember when Jurgen first started at LFC, sturridge was injured i think?? He was told that he had to do a full "pre-season" fitness program before he would return to the fold. And if he broke down, then he'd need to start again.
I wonder did that break him!!Comment

The only gracious way to accept an insult is to ignore it; if you can't ignore it, top it; if you can't top it, laugh at it; if you can't laugh at it, it's probably deserved.Comment
