Reds Mourn Hughes

Liverpool Football Club were saddened to learn of the death of former defender Laurie Hughes at the age of 87.

Hughes was a member of the title-winning team of 1946-47 and also represented England at the 1950 World Cup finals, becoming the first ever Reds player to play at the tournament.

In total, he made 326 appearances for Liverpool, scoring one goal against Preston North End at Anfield in December 1951.

Everybody at Liverpool FC would like to offer their deepest condolences to Laurie's family and friends at this sad time.
