I think it will be felt throughout the country because it’s another of the 1966 legends who won the won the World Cup.

‘A true gentleman on and off the pitch.’

‘He will never be forgotten. We talk about Bill Shankly coming to the club in 1959, but I think Roger Hunt joined in 1958 and had almost as big an impact as Shankly. He along with other members of that great team, got Liverpool out of the Second Division, winning titles and probably more importantly at the time., winning the FA cup in 1965.’
