Roger Hunt

Roger Hunt was born in Glazebury, Lancashire, and signed for Liverpool FC in July 1958 under manager Phil Taylor, playing his first match just months before the arrival of legendary manager Bill Shankly. Hunt became the spearhead of Shankly's red revolution, scoring 41 goals in 41 games in 1961–62 to fire Liverpool out of the Second Division back into top-flight English football.

Hunt won two First Division league titles (1964, 1966) and scored the opening goal in Liverpool's first-ever FA Cup victory at Wembley in 1965. Selected by Alf Ramsey for England's 1966 World Cup squad, Hunt started all six matches and scored three goals during the group stage, playing the entire 120 minutes in the famous 4-2 final victory over West Germany. Over eleven seasons at Anfield, he scored 285 goals in 492 appearances.
