Biography

Ian Robert Callaghan MBE (born 10 April 1942 in Toxteth, Liverpool) is a retired English footballer who holds the record for most appearances for Liverpool.

Playing career

Callaghan with Liverpool in 1966.

Callaghan played 857 times for Liverpool. He was booked only once, in the 1978 League Cup Final replay at Old Trafford, which Liverpool lost to Brian Clough's Nottingham Forest.

Callaghan played in 1977 European Cup Final, when Liverpool beat Borussia Moenchengladbach 3-1. But in 1978, which proved his last year at the club, his playing time was reduced as younger additions like Graeme Souness and Kenny Dalglish established themselves at the club. Callaghan was on the substitutes' bench when Liverpool retained the cup against FC Brugge in 1978.

Callaghan also played 4 times for England. Although he was in the squad for the 1966 FIFA World Cup, he did not play in the final and so did not receive a medal. Following a Football Association-led campaign to persuade FIFA to award medals to all the winners’ squad members, Callaghan was presented with his medal by Prime Minister Gordon Brown at a ceremony at 10 Downing Street on 10 June 2009.
