In February 1967, after just 28 appearances for Blackpool, he signed for Liverpool in the February for £65,000. Manager Bill Shankly was stopped in his car by the police as he drove Hughes to Liverpool for the first time and said: "Don't you know who I've got in this car? The captain of England!" The policeman peered through the window and said that he didn't recognise the man, to which Shankly replied: "No, but you will!" In the future Hughes did indeed go on to captain his country.

Hughes made his Reds debut in the 2-1 league win over Stoke City at Anfield on 4 March 1967, he scored his first goal in the 6-0 thrashing of Newcastle United, again, at Anfield on the 26 August the same year.

Hughes settled into the midfield at Liverpool during a transitional period for the club, earning the nickname Crazy Horse after an illegal rugby tackle on Newcastle United winger Albert Bennett. Liverpool didn't win any honours in his first four seasons there but Hughes was seen as a demonstration of the future which Shankly had in mind.

Frightening to think what he'd be worth in the current market.

Still got my dads 77 season shirt that Crazy Horse was kind enough to autograph for me years later. Never really saw him play myself but was a true gent on the couple of occassions I met him.

RIP EM

also mate, i find it sad that there isn't even a mention of him on the offical web site! for all youngsters of LFC out there,his love & enthusiasm as a person & player were second to none. it's all about education in remembering Emlyn in everything he did for & stood for.
