Liverpool’s very first FA Cup winning side, 50 years on – where are they now?

Posted by

ST) Roger Hunt

The only member of this team to play in the 1966 World Cup final. Hunt left Liverpool after scoring 245 league goals in 1969, joining Bolton prior to retiring in 1972. Hunt continues to be known as ‘Sir Roger’ by the Anfield faithful, despite his lack of a knighthood.

ST) Ian St John

The striker finished his playing career with Tranmere in 1973. He then went into management, coaching Motherwell and Portsmouth before calling it a day in 1979 after a spell with Sheffield Wednesday. He later became a pundit working alongside Jimmy Greaves. He also remains a regular at Anfield.

Manager: Bill Shankly

He remains Liverpool’s greatest ever manager, having won eleven major honours and revolutionised as a football club. He was later replaced by his assistant, Bob Paisley, who won three European Cups for the Reds. In 1981, just seven years after his retirement, he died at the age of 68 following a heart attack.
