Liverpool will pay tribute to club legend Ian St John with a special matchday programme ahead of clash with Chelsea this week after the former striker died aged 82

Liverpool will pay tribute to legendary striker Ian St John with a special matchday programme before their game against Chelsea on Thursday following his death at the age of 82.

The former Scotland forward - who won two First Division titles under Bill Shankly at Anfield in 1963-64 and 1965-66 and scored the winner in the 1965 FA Cup final - passed away on Monday evening after a battle with illness.

He played 336 times for the Reds - netting 95 times - and the club plan to show their respects for St John by putting him on the front cover of their programme with a special feature inside.
