  Ray Houghton - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ray Houghton (born January 9, 1962 in Glasgow) was an industrious footballer best known for his spell with the last great Liverpool team of the 1980s and his goals in big international fixtures for the Republic of Ireland.
Houghton was brought up in Scotland but began his football career in London at West Ham United where he failed to make any impact.
Houghton did his bit in the run to that season's FA Cup final too, scoring the winner in a hotly-contested fifth round tie at Merseyside rivals Everton and then clipping home a shot on the turn as Liverpool romped past Manchester City 4-0 in the quarter final.

The first of the Houghtons to shun the lure of the jockey’s cap, Raymond instead followed the advice of his mother and became the third smallest professional footballer in modern times.
Ironically, Houghton received little early recognition for the strike, as a people unaccustomed to association football failed to remember the scorer of the famous goal.
Houghton the pundit was similarly well received in Britain, where people warmed to his jocose pronunciation of the word “definITEly”, and his only serious rival was outrageous funnyman, Clive Allen.

 New York Architecture Images- Transfiguration (Episcopal)  - aka "THE LITTLE CHURCH
Houghton had his heart set on building a church near Bellevue Hospital because that was the most desperate, poverty-stricken section of Manhattan at the time, but eventually, for financial reasons, a site was chosen on East Twenty-ninth Street just off Fifth Avenue on what were then the outskirts of town.
Houghton was also one of the principal influences in the founding of the Order of the Holy Cross, the first American Anglican religious order for men.
In typical fashion, Dr. Houghton devoted the excess contributions to the needs of the sick and the poor, to the care of homeless children, and to establish a fund to bury from this church the penniless dead of the city whose families could not afford a proper funeral.

Ray seemed admirably prepared to take advantage of the increasing urban nature of our parish by further developing our theater and marriage ministries, and that is what he did.
Randolph Ray was made the Actors' Guild's first warden by virtue of his office as rector of our church, and all succeeding rectors have been ex officio wardens of the guild ever since.
Ray also founded "The Family of the Little Church Around the Corner," affectionately known as "The Little Family," which is an organization made up largely of persons who had been either married or baptized in our church, though open to any friend of the parish.

Recall Ray Houghton as a player and you tend to remember him at his best, scoring sensational World Cup goals for the Republic of Ireland or covering hectares of Anfield turf with those busy little strides, imposing himself on the opposition by a combination of effort and improvisation.
Houghton the player was a pugnacious, demanding, unforgiving character and, as the Crystal Palace players have found in the last few months, he's not that much different as a coach.

The signing of Republic of Ireland international midfielder Ray Houghton from in October 1987 was to prove one of the most astute of Kenny Dalglish's managerial reign at Anfield.
Having already acquired the talents of John Barnes and Peter Beardsley during the summer of that year, Houghton was seen as the final piece of the jigsaw and the then tidy sum of £800,000 that it to took to prise him away from Oxford United was quickly looked upon as chicken feed.
Houghton was to play a pivotal role in one of the best attacking Liverpool teams ever seen, chipping in with some vital goals and collecting League Championship and FA Cup honours along the way.
