    Another player gone who was part of my football education.

    Another one like Greavsie knew how to find the back of the net, they're all getting to 'a certain age' and my football history is slowly disappearing RIP Roger.

    Him turning away in 1966 was what convinced me that Hurst's goal went in. Hunt's natural instinct would have been to put the ball in. RIP Rog!

    Just having a bit of a read about Sir Roger as the Liverpool fans call him
    No wonder he was a legend.
    In their promotion Season 1962 He scored 41 goals in 41 games
    How much would that be worth now.

    RIP Roger. It is bloody sad to see this generation slowly passing away.

    I try to make sure my lads go and find out a bit about these fellas so hopefully they dont disappear from the memory of younger fans. They couldnt believe Greavsie's record and I think they may be amazed at Hunt's as well.
