Liverpool Football Club are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of former Everton manager Howard Kendall at the age of 69.

Kendall is widely considered the greatest manager in Everton’s history having led the club to two league titles, one FA Cup and the European Cup Winners’ Cup over the course of three spells in charge.

He had also represented the Toffees with some distinction as a player, helping them claim the First Division title in 1969-70.

The thoughts of everyone at LFC are with Howard's family and friends.
