I WANT to live to be 103, like Vera Lynn. I’m going to live my life like that’s a done deal. I’ve survived a 30-year Liverpool title drought and I reckon I’ve got it in me to survive two more lengthy famines. I used to fret that I may never see The Reds at the top of...
FOLLOWING Liverpool’s 2-0 victory over Manchester United in 1992, an ITV reporter tentatively interviewed Alex Ferguson somewhere in the bowels of Anfield. Leeds United had done for Sheffield United at Bramall Lane earlier that day and, thanks to goals from Ian Rush...
I DIDN’T know how it was going to feel. As someone who has always had impeccably bad timing, I was born in the mid-80s. While Liverpool were winning the league title in 1990, I was more concerned with how Thomas the Tank Engine was going to get himself out of another...
I GUESS that this must be the place. We’ve arrived. Repeatedly it felt like we’d never get here – 2002, 2009, 2014, 2019. Time and time and time again we nearly got here, we were at the door. We were at the door again and everything stopped. The game ceased to...
LET’S take a trip down memory lane, to April 28, 1990, to be precise. Mo Salah hadn’t been born, the League Cup was known as the Littlewoods Cup, the Anfield Rap had been released two years previous but the Anfield Wrap, well, we didn’t even have the internet back...
TWO games in the space of four days told two completely different stories. If you missed it, if you yearned for that feeling of watching this team in all its magnificence, then you may have felt slightly discombobulated seeing re-emerging shouts of “bottle” and...
I WISH I could be with you. I wish they’d got a fifth. Other than that, other than those two things, that was about as close as it gets to perfect. Two points to go. Two points for heaven’s sake. Two points for heaven. And next up, our direct rivals....
THE first few minutes before kick off, honestly brought a tear to the eye. When You’ll Never Walk Alone started and Tyler shut up and the camera just stayed on The Kop with all the flags, mate. Christ. The first one back, just imagine the first one back. And then,...
I SUPPOSE you can’t have everything. It wasn’t the best derby performance ever and that might have been down to rustiness, unusual playing conditions or simply a case of ‘too many cooks’. It wasn’t just the Liverpool team that played on Sunday night, but the Liverpool...
IT could prove a significant moment. Ben Mee, straight down the barrel of the camera making clear that he and his side were both embarrassed and ashamed by the banner that flew over their heads. Mee is absolutely bristling with anger as he speaks, infuriated as much...
