Liverpool pay tribute to Ronnie Moran with Anfield mosaic before Everton tie as Jamie Carragher says he is one of the 'biggest figures' in club's history

Liverpool fans paid their final respects to Ronnie Moran before their derby match against Everton on Saturday as those in the Kop End held up a mosaic bearing his much-loved nickname 'Bugsy' prior to kick-off.

Moran, who was diagnosed with vascular dementia four years ago, died last week aged 83 having served the club for 49 years and won 44 major trophies.

To celebrate his life and dedication to the club, Liverpool and Everton players both observed a minute's applause while fans created a mosaic and held up homemade banners in his honour.

Although never a full-time manager, Moran performed a variety of roles over his near half-century with the club all the way from a player to caretaker manager, a duty he performed twice.
