Roy Evans

Biography of Roy Evans: Roy Quentin Echlin Evans (born 4 October 1948) is an English former footballer who played as a defender for Liverpool, where he also had a spell as manager. Aside from his time at Liverpool, he had a short spell in the United States; and also managed Fulham and Swindon Town. An England schoolboy international, Evans was a defender who was a long way down the pecking order at Liverpool in the 1960s and 1970s-he also spent the summer of 1973 in the North American Soccer League with the Philadelphia Atoms. In 1974 he gave up his playing career to become Liverpool's reserve team coach and was subsequently part of the Liverpool coaching team under a succession of managers. On 28 January 1994, Graeme Souness quit as Liverpool manager in the wake of a shock FA Cup exit at the hands of Bristol City. Evans took over as manager of a Liverpool side who were mid-table in the Premier League and out of contention for any major honours, although they were 8th by the end of the season. Evans had inherited a side from Souness that had lost confidence in the three years following Kenny Dalglish's departure, as well as a side that was mismatched largely due to the signings that Souness made. For the 1994-95 season, Evans strengthened his side with the addition of defenders John Scales and Phil Babb as well as young winger Mark Kennedy. He also gave further first-team opportunities to youngsters Steve McManaman, Jamie Redknapp and Robbie Fowler, who at the time were among the hottest prospects in English football. Established players such as John Barnes, Mark Wright and Ian Rush blended well with these young stars as Liverpool finished fourth in the Premier League with 74 points and triumphed in the Football League Cup, beating Bolton Wanderers 2-1 with two McManaman goals, and winning the competition for a record fifth time.
