Player Valuation: £1m
I was a bit too young to appreciate his playing career, so tell me all about him. eg, Memorable moments from him,what he was like as a player, strengths, weaknesses, pint pulling qualities in post player career, and what his player song was.

Well Roger was quite the cad. Playing Bond well into his 80's he would survive on caviar, beak and Boat loads of women shipped in from the Arabia. He would literally brush his teeth with Viagra twice a day.

He once told me the secret to life was in the details and to pay attention to everything.

Mistakes could make you look really foolish he would often say.
 
His only problem was he wasn't Labone and thus had big boots to fill
That said, If we had him coming through to replace Jagielka and play with Stones it would be fapfest city.

Sat at a table with him at somebodies 21st Some of the stories he told me about the players hotel antics were quite shocking (and I'm not easily shocked).Solid player who would struggle in the modern game with yellow cards,his tackles from behind were......solid

Please use the word allegedly very liberally.

Had quite a bit to do with there transfers away from the club (it's alleged) one of the stories recounted to me involved a Scots goalkeeper and his preferred position to watch TV the night before away games,which often involved him flicking cigar ash on the back of his female viewing partner (I can only imagine she had a closer view of the screen than he did....allegedly)
 

Roger Kenyon stood in for the injured Brian Labone in the 1969/70 title run in - never out a foot wrong, played well when Labby retired - A local lad from Huyton!

To be honest theres worse from that era who would be semi-permanently suspended with the tackling from behind lark now. I don't recall Roger being that dirty a player.
