When George Sephton first took on stadium announcer duties at Liverpool the club had won seven league titles but had yet to taste success in European football.
However, on Sunday, 'the Voice of Anfield' will step down after more than five decades, when the Reds host Crystal Palace and lift the Premier League trophy to celebrate a record-equalling 20th top-flight title.
Sephton, 79, took the job in 1971 when Bill Shankly was manager and was a constant through the trophy-laden years of the 1970s and 1980s when four of Liverpool's six European Cup triumphs also arrived.
