Sad to report the passing of my first ever boyhood hero - Roger Hunt.

I remember being absolutely devastated when he left LFC for Bolton.

RIP

RIP Sir Roger, remembered with awe and affection by this fan.

Sadly there aren't many of my 60s LFC heroes left now; thankful that Cally and Big Ron are still around.

Cally, what a guy, very nice man.
Met him a few weeks ago at our local park where he opened a long awaited cafe.
"Callys" will be open on match days and when the schools let out.

Cally is a great bloke. Always happy to say hello to the stewards at Anfield. Today's bunch could learn a lot from him as to how to treat the 'little people'.

Bee - Chris Lawler is still around too.

Just seen that Sunday's programme has Sir Roger on the cover and contains various tributes to the great man.
