Liverpool supporters were ecstatic when Darwin Nunez powered in his injury-time winner against Newcastle United on Sunday, and none more than former Reds striker Jon Newby.

He would later return to the Kirkby Academy as a scout and youth coach at the end of a professional career comprising more than 300 matches at various levels in the English football pyramid.
