I feel your pain brother. Im very sad.

My old fella was in his early 40's when I was born (1975) so he'd watched the Reds regular from the late 1940's up the early 1970's. I grew up on stories of the Saint, the Collosus, the Flying Pig, Cally and of course Sir Roger. I'll speak to my old man tomorrow, he'll be gutted.

Every time I’ve seen him interviewed he’s looked fucking ace for his age and came across as having all his faculties. 

I've just seen the Echo's website and they're reporting he died after a long illness.

I, like everyone else on here had no idea.

It's terrible news.

There are some deaths you hear about of people you’ve never met that knock you for six.
 

Sometimes it’s their young age, maybe the way they died. Occasionally it’s because you realise that they meant more to you than you ever knew.
 

Roger Hunt has been part of my love affair with Liverpool FC for nearly all my life. He’s part of the reason why Liverpool are my club, despite my place of birth.

 

I can’t lie and say the success they’ve had hasn’t been part of it, but it was also about the values, the colour and noise from the Kop, a city that gave us the Beatles, the stories of those early European adventures, Shanks greatness and Roger’s goals. 
 

What Liverpool FC became, the moments we’ve shared, we owe to relatively few. Sir Roger Hunt was one of them.

 

RIP
