Former Liverpool star and TV pundit Ian St John has died aged 82
The forward had been signed for a club-record £37,500 from Motherwell in May 1961, just 18 months into Shankly's Anfield reign.He once admitted he had a"quick temper, which was a bad thing", adding:"The fact I wasn't frightened of anybody was a good thing."After retiring in 1973, he went on to manage Motherwell - his hometown club - and Portsmouth.
He also presented a Saturday lunchtime TV football show - Saint and Greavsie - alongside Jimmy Greaves, for seven years from 1985. Motherwell tweeted:"We are deeply saddened by the passing of Ian St John. The thoughts of everyone are with his family at this difficult time."The Scottish Football Association said its thoughts were with"Ian's family and friends".
A man of warmth, humour, knowledge, wisdom and joy. Scotland and Liverpool has lost a true giant. My love goes to his family. Rest in peace Ian St John
