A "legend" of Anfield has been remembered by his family, friends and fellow Liverpool FC fans.
Wally Williams was born a stone's throw from Anfield in 1928, and began supporting the Reds in the 1930s - when future Manchester United manager Matt Busby was one of the stars of the team. The Kop season ticket holder died earlier this week, at the age of 94.
Wally's son, Colin Williams has paid tribute to his late dad, describing him as "a bit of a legend at Anfield". Colin said his dad loved to see the success the club had enjoyed in recent years, as well as the glory days of the 1970s and 1980s

He told the ECHO: "His best memory of a vast amount of games was the European Cup final in 1977 in Rome and travelling by train over several days to get there."
Wally will also be remembered by his five other children: Glenys, David, Ann, Ken and Sandra.
Other Liverpool fans have taken to social media to share tributes to Wally. "Stanley Park" said: "My friends and I have sat/stood in front of Wally and Colin since the Kop was rebuilt from the old standing terrace. There can’t be many fans left now who used to watch Liverpool before the war, as Wally did. Sincere condolences to Colin and family. RIP Wally."
Allan Bates said: "A privilege to have known him, a great man who loved this club, also a good friend who will be sadly missed amongst our community QGFC (Quarry Green Football Club, in Kirkby) and Quarry Green Club. RIP Wally Kop Legend. YNWA."
Les Lawson, chair of the Merseyside branch of the LFC official supporters' club and a friend of Wally, said: "Wally used to sit in row 27 in block 104 of the Kop and was one of the great characters of the Reds' support.
"Wally had to stop going during last season as he had problems with his legs but he continued to support the Reds with the same enthusiasm he always did. My thoughts are with Wally's family and friends at this sad time."
