David Fairclough Biography

David Fairclough is one of the most popular and richest Soccer Player who was born on January 5, 1957 in Liverpool, England, United Kingdom. Striker who scored 34 goals for Liverpool from 1975 to 1983.

He and fellow striker Ian Rush both played for Liverpool in the 1980s.

Known affectionately as Supersub (because he was a talented goalscorer who, in comparison with other players, rarely started matches for Liverpool – but frequently came into the match as a substitute to make an impact), Fairclough was born in inner city Liverpool and as a child moved to the new Cantril Farm housing estate in the 1960s due to slum clearances. He rose through the Liverpool ranks as a teenager and made his debut for the club on 1 November 1975 in the 1–0 league win over Middlesbrough at Ayresome Park. As the season progressed, Fairclough scored seven crucial goals in just 14 appearances to land Liverpool the League championship. Nine of these appearances were as substitute. His first goal for the club came three days after his debut on 4 November 1975, during the 6–0 defeat of Spanish side Real Sociedad at Anfield in a UEFA Cup 2nd round 2nd leg tie.

The pecking order of strikers at the club saw Fairclough trailing behind the ‘dream duo’ of Kevin Keegan and John Toshack, as well as England centre forward David Johnson. In the 1976-77 season, Fairclough made more appearances as a substitute, because of a succession of injuries to Toshack.

He was born in Liverpool, England.
