Sadly, Stevie Peplow, a long time team mate in my first spell at the Club passed away last night. A skilful winger but also a great lad about the dressing room and the training ground. One of the 28 games unchanged side 77/78. #TRFC #SWA #teammate #RIP

It’s always best to let those who know someone best speak at these hard times and sharing stories and memories is a great way of ensuring a legacy can live on.
The boyhood Evertonian only made three first-team appearances for Bill Shankly’s side and it was the Wirral where he really made his name in football.
It’s great these memories will live on and we also pass on all our best wishes to the family, at this terrible time.
