Former Everton and Liverpool striker David Johnson has died aged 71.
Johnson holds the distinction as one of only two players to find the net for both clubs in Merseyside derbies during his 14 years as a footballer.
He enjoyed two spells at Goodison Park, breaking through the ranks in 1971 before going on to score on his debut in each competition that he played in.
Sandwiched between his time with the Blues, Johnson spent four years at Ipswich Town before joining Liverpool for a club-record £200,000 in 1976.
A six-year period with his boyhood heroes saw him win virtually every major honour, including four league titles, three European Cups and the UEFA Cup.
Johnson rejoined Everton in 1982 under his old teammate Howard Kendall and later played for Manchester City, Tulsa Roughnecks and Preston North End.
He passed away following a lengthy battle with throat cancer on Wednesday.
Tributes to the late marksman, who was nicknamed ‘The Doc’ by peers, have been paid from leading figures on both sides of the Stanley Park divide.
Everton chairman Bill Kenwright said: “That David enjoyed the love and respect of both sides of Stanley Park underlined his qualities both as a footballer and a man.
“He was one of the few who crossed the divide and managed to retain his reputation with both sets of supporters.
“That is because he was always honest, hard-working and brave.
“Rest in Peace Johnno.”
Sir Kenny Dalglish added: “Sad news about the Doc.
“David was hugely popular in the dressing room. A really good guy and condolences to all his family.
“RIP Doc YNWA.”
