Shum Posted 9 November 2004 Posted 9 November 2004 Former England and Liverpool captain Emlyn Hughes has died from a brain tumour at the age of 57. Hughes earned 62 caps for the national team and led Liverpool to a string of honours while at the Anfield club. He helped the club to four league titles, two European Cups, an FA Cup victory and two Uefa Cup titles. Hughes was the first player to lift the European Cup for Liverpool after the victory over Borussia Moenchengladbach in 1977. An OBE, he was famed for his bubbly and livewire personality and was nicknamed Crazy Horse. Hughes was a midfielder who converted to centre-back and was signed for Liverpool by Bill Shankly for £65,000 from Blackpool in 1967. He left Liverpool for Wolves in 1979 for £90,000 and also went on to play for Rotherham, Hull City, Mansfield Town and Swansea City.
