The Most Underrated Players and Managers in Liverpool FC History
January 1964. Roy Evans joins Liverpool FC as a 16-year-old defender after Bill Shankly personally visited the family’s Bootle home to talk to his mum and dad.
In truth, Evans’ playing career at Liverpool never really bore fruit, but it was on the coaching staff – he took up the position of reserve team manager aged just 25 under Shankly’s successor Bob Paisley – that his love affair with the club really began.
He became a member of the infamous Boot Room of coaches, playing his part in planning some of the club’s most famous days on home and international soil, before his qualities as a coach were rewarded with promotion to the first-team manager’s role in 1994.
December 14th might not be a date that means much to most people, but for Liverpool fans it was the day that the history of their beloved football club was changed forever.
Just six games lost, 26 won, 101 goals scored, 84 points claimed.
Although the two clubs have a famous rivalry, you can imagine that plenty of Liverpool FC fans have sympathy with their Merseyside foe Everton.
You know what it’s like: no matter where you grew up in the world, there’s a chance that there was kids in the school playground wearing the replica shirts of Manchester United, Liverpool and Arsenal – regardless of their geographical location.
Eight years and 31 days. Some 450 games. Seven trophies.
It’s always nice to get the recognition of your peers no matter what your chosen vocation.
How long is a piece of string?
It’s sad to think that, one day, Jurgen Klopp will leave Liverpool for good.
When it was confirmed that the UK and Ireland had won the rights to host the European Championships in 2028, it seemed almost a formality that Anfield would be one of the stadiums to welcome the competition.
