IT was May 3, 2005. I was 24, about to turn 25, and had spent my whole life being regaled with stories told by older Liverpool fans about great league and European Cup victories down the years. I was 10 when we last won the league and remembered nothing of it. I was...

I AM stupid. Uneducated. Not just ‘ill-educated’, which would suggest that Fazakerley Comprehensive didn’t do a fantastic job on me between 1975 and 1983, but uneducated. I simply didn’t go to school. Apparently. According to Twitter, obviously. You know this is...

THE life of a Liverpool fan is never straightforward, writes JAMIE HOLME. Through my lifetime of supporting the Reds, I’ve become accustomed to the unexpected. Born in 1984, I was too young to enjoy the latter years of our domestic dominance. Instead I have been...

(SORRY it’s late) I tell people I have had a season ticket for Liverpool since I was 10. It isn’t strictly true. When they opened the upper tier of the newly named Centenary Stand in 1992 my dad bought two tickets for the family to share. I think that was...
