Ian Callaghan

[SaintGeorge67]

A certain player of a rival team who has played a bazillion more games at the top level than anyone, this weekend managed to equal the number of league games one of our players has played.

I give you the man that was worried about replacing Billy Liddell and yet achieved everything, seemingly without anyone outside of Liverpool noticing... Ian Callaghan.

60 seconds in... one of the best goals there is. People still seemed amazed when someone does it. Cally did it 47 years ago 🙂

Great player.

Great man.

What themn said.

 

[gkmacca]

A true legend and a real gentleman. It was a privilege to see him play, and always a delight to see him at Anfield these days.

As the commentary goes..."Well won by Callaghan..."

I was Ian Callahan in my back garden when iwas a nipper. Then swapped to being Steve Highway

 

[jexykrodic]

Great footballer and from the Press and TV I've seen over the years he comes across as humble and unaffected despite his great successes.

A true role model.

 

[Judge Jules]

If I'm picking the All-Time XI, Cally's on the right wing. Unquestionably one of the greatest we've ever had.

Met him once. Thorough gentleman. Seemed genuinely touched that people had come out to hear him speak. Lovely evening...
