Roger Hunt
Roger Hunt was a prolific striker who joined Liverpool in 1958 and became a key figure as Bill Shankly rebuilt the club into a major force in English football. Hunt scored 285 goals in 492 appearances, a total that stood as the club's all-time scoring record for decades before Ian Rush surpassed it, and won two league titles and an FA Cup at Anfield. He was also part of England's victorious 1966 World Cup squad, scoring during the tournament and starting the final itself. Hunt remains one of the most prolific goalscorers in Liverpool's history and a statue in his honour stands outside Anfield.
