Ian Robert Callaghan MBE (born 10 April 1942, Toxteth, Liverpool) is a retired English footballer who holds the record for most appearances for Liverpool.[1]

Playing career

Callaghan with Liverpool in 1966.

Callaghan played 857 times for Liverpool.[1] He was booked only once, in the 1978 League Cup Final replay at Old Trafford, which Liverpool lost to Brian Clough's Nottingham Forest.[2]

Callaghan also played 4 times for England.[3] 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.[4]
