The word was out everyone was going to Sir Rogers testimonial....so was our gang of 10 and 11 year olds .. we must go ...off to our mams to get a few Bob...then all up to the top of Lodge Lane for the footy bus...packed...arrive at Anfield..massive queue for the Boys Pen..we're in..its packed..so is Anfield ..56,000, gates shut...Thousands locked out...songs , goals, a mass humanity on a swaying Kop and saluting a legend...

I was just starting my journey but most there had been lived through it all...and that night was a celebration of a glorious period.

This club is built on the likes of Sir Roger Hunt.

These are men , Bill Shanklys Best...

RIP, Sir Roger. Proud to say I saw him score that beauty at OT, running past me on his way to the goal.
What a hero.

Really sad news. What an icon he was for this club. Still our record scorer in the league with 244 goals.

RIP Sir Roger

Was gutted when Shanks sold him to Bolton. He quickly announced himself with a hat-trick at QPR.
His testimonial was one of the greatest nights on the Kop, right up there with St.Etienne.

A truly great player in every sense. I had the privilge of seeing him play and his strength, power, tenacity with an ability to score goals others couldn't were second to none. I remember buying a programme and the featured photograph was of Jim Mongomery (I think) flying through the air to cover one of Sir Roger's fearsome shots, unfortunately for him the ball was already bursting the net behind him. RIP to my boyhood hero.

I once met him at a function in Daresbury and I subjected him to some drunken fawning. RIP.

RIP Sir Roger

I’m too young to have seen him play but my old man and uncles would insist he was one of the best strikers to ever play for us. Maybe only Ian Rush was arguably better. Some would say Sir Roger was the best. That’s the esteem he’s held in by many Reds who are part of the older generation and grow up watching Roger Hunt.

Truly great player and one who is hugely important in the clubs history. More importantly than that though he seemed a genuinely great fella.

Another sad day for us reds.

Sir Roger was an amazing goalscorer at a time when forwards got kicked from pillar to post.

Never complained just carried on sticking the ball in the back of the net.

I was lucky enough to be at the game at Goodison when him and Ray Wilson paraded the World cup around the pitch.

An absolute gentleman and goalscorer supreme.

Rest easy Sir Roger.

The Liverpool dressing room was sceptical of the newcomer’s ability at first. Shankly, however, who had replaced Taylor within months of Hunt’s debut, spotted something in the finisher’s game.

So, so, sorry to hear this awful news.

Sir Roger was my first favourite player and a kid and I was mortified when he moved on to Bolton.

My Mum wrote to Liverpool in the mid 60s when I was about six and said that he was my favourite player. About a month later I received a signed photograph of Sir Roger which had obviously been taken in his own back garden. What a gentleman.

RIP Roger YNWA

Just trying to process this. It feels like a part of me has gone. My mind is triggered back to Sam our Pru man excitedly relaying to my dad about this young forward called Hunt who was so good he was bound to make the first team any time soon. Must have been around 1958. My young ears pricked up as his and my dad’s excitement transmitted itself to me. Possibly my earliest Liverpool memory. I was around 7 years old. Three years later I was in the Boys Pen watching Sir Roger Hunt power us to promotion with an incredible 41 goals in one season. And Sir Roger was our hero along with our other greats of course.

RIP our hero. There will never be another like you for me.
