Dean Saunders

Yet another birthday in this month of June. This time it is Dean Saunders who is celebrating his birthday. “Deano” is 54 today. Like father like son in the Saunders family. Deano’s father, Roy, also played for Liverpool as a wing-half (who’s old enough to remember that position description?).

On this day 13th June 1955 a certain Alan Hansen entered the world in Sauchie, Scotland. So, happy 63rd birthday today to Alan Hansen. There isn’t a lot you get for £110,000 nowadays is there?
