Playing Career |

Club(s) |
Played
schoolboy football in Lancashire and his junior football with Croft YC. He
played for The Army during his National Service. He
was playing in the Mid-Cheshire League with Stockton Heath FC, and turning
out for Devizes Town FC and Bury FC, when he
signed on as a Liverpool FC amateur on 29 July 1958, turning professional in July
1959. Following his success with the Anfield club, Nat Lofthouse made
three attempts in a fortnight to lure Hunt away, and he joined Bolton
Wanderers FC on 16 December 1969 for £34,000 at the fourth time of
asking, ahead of a late attempt by Blackburn Rovers FC. He announced his
retirement from the game on 10 May 1972. |
