The funeral of former Everton and Liverpool star David Johnson took place on Tuesday in the city, with poignant tributes from both clubs.
Johnson, who was from Halewood, had been ill for some time having been diagnosed with throat cancer in recent years, and passed away last month at the age of 71.
After the news of Johnson’s death was announced, warm tributes were paid on social media by numerous Merseyside football legends including Peter Reid, Ian Rush and John Aldridge. Former Reds team-mate David Fairclough wrote: “So sad to hear my great friend and Liverpool legend David Johnson has passed away. Shared so many great moments and memories. Today is a very sad day.”
