Liverpool legend Ian Callaghan (http://www.liverpoolfc.tv/news/archivedirs/news/2006/sep/14/N153466060914-1143.htm) will be joining The Liverpool Supporters Club in New York, LFCNY (http://www.lfcny.org/) at The 11th Street Bar (http://www.11thstbar.com/) on Saturday, March 8th!!
Following on the heels of the successful Phil Neal event in 2006, LFCNY is bringing Ian to New York for this special event, taking place in tandem with the league fixture against Newcastle United that morning. Cally will be answering your questions, will be available for photographs, and will, of course, be sharing anecdotes from his remarkable career.
Ian holds the record by some margin for the most appearances for Liverpool with a whopping 857 games to his credit. He served the club from 1960 (when he signed on as an apprentice) until 1978; that's an astounding 18-year career with the Mighty Reds, most of those years under the guidance of one Bill Shankly, with the remainder under Bob Paisley's watch. Cally helped the club win the first FA Cup in its history, the first European Cup in its history and was the first Liverpool player to win the prestigious Football Writers Association Player of the Year award.
He also managed to pick up a few other baubles with Liverpool along the way; he was a member of England's 1966 World Cup-winning squad to boot. The timing of Cally's visit to NY is perfect as it comes three days before the deciding Champions League tie against Inter Milan on March 11 - no doubt he'll have some anecdotes to share regarding that controversial European Cup semifinal against the Italians back in 1965.
So many honours, achievements and stories from a remarkable career to share - you will not want to miss it! Please come out for what should be a fantastic day with a Liverpool great.
Ticket details:
Tickets will be $15 each, with a limit of six per person. Admission to the bar on March 8th will limited to those holding tickets for the Ian Callaghan appearance. Only 125 tickets will be sold for the event.
