Roger Hunt

Roger Hunt belongs to the quiet greats I admire most. Liverpool's all-time record league scorer with 244 goals, a two-time league champion and FA Cup winner under Bill Shankly, and a member of England's 1966 World Cup-winning side, he achieved all of it without much fuss. Forwards like him, who simply keep scoring season after season, often get overshadowed by flashier names, yet the numbers endure. That MBE felt earned. He passed in 2021, but at Anfield his name is permanent. I have a soft spot for the relentless, understated craftsman, and Hunt is the template.
