Jürgen Klopp further articulates his respect and admiration for Roger Hunt in his notes for today's official matchday programme.
Hunt, a Liverpool legend and the second-highest goalscorer in the club’s history, passed away at the age of 83 earlier this week.
A minute’s applause will take place ahead of kick-off at this afternoon’s game against Manchester City, while a mosaic displayed on the Kop will honour a World Cup winner known at Anfield as ‘Sir Roger’.
And Klopp hopes his team can then go on and perform in a manner befitting one of Liverpool’s greats.
The boss writes: “Before the game, we will pause to pay tribute to a person who is as responsible as anyone for making occasions like today matter as much as they do to Liverpool Football Club.
