THAT. The Lads. They are The Lads. Getting to be The Lads. It’s something that happens to a football team, something that happens to any decent enterprise, ignore the gendered language or anything else you like, you’ve knocked round here long enough and...

MY granddad on my mum’s side had only a passing interest in football. He would never go to a game with me but he would drive me and my brother down to Anfield on weekdays to hang round the old Main Stand car park waiting for the Liverpool team coach to bring the...
