Liverpool legend Sammy Lee has been officially unveiled as Sam Allardyce's assistant manager at Everton.

Lee, who spent 10 years at Anfield as a player and a further three as a coach, posed in an Everton tracksuit for the first time on Friday along with Duncan Ferguson, who has also been appointed as coaching staff.

Everton's new boss Allardyce made his intent on recruiting Lee as part of his backroom staff clear from the start, despite his long-time strings with their fiercest rivals Liverpool.
