      Boo-Hoo, what a winner you are....Boy, you certainly told me where to get of...

      It's, where to get off. Not only do I get to tell you where to get off, I get to give you an English lesson as well. And you called me a winner! Get in! ;)

      Joking aside though, can I ask why you're so interested in gathering all this info?

      A lot more reliable than other sites to be fair. For things like this it is actually pretty decent.

      Shame my school teachers never shared the same view...bas**rds ;)

      Thanks for calling me lad, last time someone called me that I was 16, 4 decades ago, cheers. I couldn't find Allun Evans on Wikepedia. Did he finish his career at Anfield?

      With all due respect, if you're as old as you're making out and remember these players and their abilities as well as you claim to surely you would remember Alun (one L, not two) Evans' transferring to Villa in the early 70s. Big hype when he arrived, first £100,000 teenager I think, but failed to live up to the expectation.

      After Villa he went to Walsall for 3,000 quid (what a come down  from a 100,000 quid ) and finished up in Australia.He had so much going for him when he first arrived at Anfield and blew it.

      Unfortunately mate, he's not the only lad to come to Anfield with a big reputation and not succeed. And we got Keegan shortly before shipping out Evans didn't we? So we got a better player in than the one departing.

      The sad thing about Evans was he did have it all,I seem to recall him getting a hat trick in a European match at Anfield.The fame and the money got to him and the girl he was going with well her father owned a nightclub in the midlands and that did not help.I think that was were he got his face slashed.Keegan joined L.F.C. in May 1971 for 33,000 quid and Evans was transferred in June 1972.

      I have been a Liverpool supporter/fan since I was 7 years old; first in Mombasa, Kenya where we had a local team called Liverpool and in England from age 10 to approx 23.
      In Boarding School and University, my nickname was Liverpool.
        Then I moved to Canada and in "non internet" world, lost complete touch with English Soccer/Liverpool. Pretty sure I missed Mr Paisley's great era. Missed Dalglish/Souness and other LFC greats . The players I recall, very affectionately, are the ones I listed and hoped they all did well. Wages were , if I recall correctly, 100 pounds a week if you were George Best and much less for the others. Players in that era wouldn't have known how to spell sponsorship and pretty sure their names weren't on their playing shirts. Didn't know Sir Roger became Sir Roger pretty much sums it up.
      PS Don't tell my mommy or Daddy I misspelt off...they spent a fortune trying to educate me in the Queen's English

      I left England in 1972 and didn't know what happened to Alun Evans. My most vivid recollection of him is at Wembley FA Cup final ( I think we lost to Arse*&les) when he took a shot at goal from 40 or 50 yards away and the ball flew 10 yards or more over the crossbar. Tommy Smith I recall gave him a "proper shagging" and Evans ended up playing a decent game. I've read other posts re the rest of his career, my recollection of when we signed him, I was upset because he was going to replace someone I really liked, anyone recall who? ( No squad players/ 5 subs in those days)

      I presume the player in question is Sir Roger Hunt.
