Why Was There a Minutes Silence Today : Players Wearing Black Armbands Today

There is a minute’s silence today for Roger Hunt.

Hunt, the Liverpool FC club’s second-highest goalscorer of all time with 285 goals in 492 appearances, passed away peacefully at home following a long illness on Monday evening. He was 83.

A World Cup winner with England in 1966, Hunt joined the Reds from nearby amateur team Stockton Heath as a 20-year-old in July 1958 and spent 11-and-a-half hugely successful years at Anfield.

Roger Hunt, a former England footballer who played in all six of England’s World Cup final games and scored three goals, died at the age of 83. A Liverpool legend, he won two First Division titles and an FA Cup during his time at Anfield in the early 1960s, and he went on to become the club’s all-time leading scorer in league and cup competitions, with only Ian Rush surpassing him.

Until Ian Rush broke his record in 1992, his Reds goal total of 285 stood as the club record. Hunt, with 244 league goals for Liverpool, is the all-time leading scorer.

As it turned out, Hunt made his Liverpool debut in September 1959, a 2-0 win over Scunthorpe United at Anfield.

To win titles in the First Division in 1964 and 1966, and the long-awaited FA Cup in 1965, Hunt formed an unstoppable strike partnership with Ian St John, who took over as manager under Bill Shankly after his arrival at the club just months later.

As a result of Hunt’s accomplishments, the Kop knighted him and dubbed him “Sir Roger” among the club’s supporters as a result.

The 1966 World Cup final, in which England defeated West Germany at Wembley, cemented his legacy as a legend. During that tournament, he had three goals in six appearances, giving him a total of 18 in 34 caps for his country.
