PROFILE
Kevin was born in Wales but also qualified to play
for the Republic of Ireland. He had played for Hereford United for a couple of seasons as
a teenager before signing for Liverpool in July 1978. Kevin made his league debut for
Liverpool on 14th February 1981, a 2-2 home draw with Birmingham City, but his only other
two appearances in the First Division for the club were both as a substitute in the
following season. Kevin also played in two league cup ties for Liverpool in 1981-82 and
scored in both of them, against Exeter & Middlesbrough. With his opportunities at
Anfield limited, Kevin decided to make the short trip across Stanley Park to join Everton
and became a regular in their side for several seasons, scoring regularly from his
midfield position and winning championship and cup medals along the way. He's considered
the best left-foot in Everton's history. Liverpool must have regretted selling him as he
emerged as one of Everton's best players when Everton was competing with Liverpool for the
title in the 80's. Total LFC club games/goals for Reserves
