Molyneux joined Chester as a 16-year-old in 1947 after being spotted playing football with A. Monk and Co. by one of the directors of Chester who was also a director of the company.

There are many bad scouts sending in reports to clubs. Claiming expenses for their efforts. Many clubs would do better sending their expenses to charity! Their scout’s judgement isn’t up to scratch.

Liverpool’s current Premier League campaign has been one of contrast, strong attacking output on one hand, and periods of inconsistency on the other. A statistical breakdown of their season reveals a team still competing at a high level, but one that has not fully matched the dominance of their strongest recent campaigns.
There's a reason Liverpool supporters have developed a habit of holding their breath when big news breaks. The club operates at extremes.

He has been one of the most articulate translations of the Liverpool character: tough, violent, sentimental and never backward.
