PROFILE
Roy Evans' love affair with Liverpool began at the age of seven when he attended his first
game at Anfield. As he grew older he went on to play at left-back for England schoolboys
in 1963 before joining Liverpool as an apprentice two years later.
He made his full debut in 1969, playing 3 games in the 1969/70 season, and played
occasionally at left-back for Liverpool during the seasons 1969/70 to 1973/74, but
following Shankly's shock resignation in 1974 Bob Paisley persuaded him, at the age of 25,
to direct his talents into coaching, and he became the youngest member of the famous 'Boot
Room'. John Smith, the Chairman at the time, predicted: "We have not made an
appointment for the present but for the future. One day Roy Evans will be our
manager." Appointed Reserve Team Coach, Roy won the Central League Championship in
his first season, 1975, and went on to win it seven times in nine years, before Joe Fagan
took over as manager from the retiring Paisley, and appointed him to the senior coaching
staff, where he played a part in Liverpool's great triumphs under Fagan, including the
Treble of 1983/84, and subsequently under Dalglish, including the Double of 1985/86.
After Dalglish had stunned everyone by resigning in 1991, Graeme Souness was
brought in as manager. Evans was appointed Souness's assistant in 1993. Roy eventually
became the Liverpool Manager in 1993/94 following the departure of Graeme Souness, and
quickly returned a calming influence to the Club - chairman David Moores described him as:
"The last of the Shankly lads". Evans was popular choice, and gave a great boost
to the Club.
However he too struggled with worryingly lack-lustre displays from his players and
the abysmal F A Cup appearance in 1996 against Manchester United and their ill-advised
Armarni suits, led to the damaging 'Spice Boy' tag being applied to his leading players.

This was a defining moment in retrospect as an F A Cup win would have given
Evans an invaluable lift. As it was, despite winning the League Cup in 1994/95 and never
finishing below 4th in the League after the season when he first took over, Roy was unable
to deliver another cup or the League Championship which the Club and its fans demanded.
His transfer deals were only qualified successes, but his support and development
of the likes of Robbie Fowler, Steve McManaman and Michael Owen in particular, stand as
proof that he knew how to develop local talent. Evans to his credit reacted positively to
the unusual decision to bring in a joint manager - Gerard Houllier - to share the burden
at the start of the 1998/99 season, and they did their best to make the partnership work.
The arrangement, however, was not a success, and Roy and the Club decided by mutual
agreement that he would leave, making the sad announcement on 12th November 1998.
