FIRST things first: I’m NOT a rugby fan (at least I wasn’t), writes MARK SPENCE. Make no bones about it, I love football way more than is probably healthy. From the first time I clapped eyes on Ian Rush’s weasel-like physique terrorising defences the length and...
LIVERPOOL supporters are invited to join Jamie Carragher and Simon Hughes when they discuss the author’s new book at the official launch of Men in White Suits. Jamie and Simon will be joined by Neil Atkinson from The Anfield Wrap on Friday May 1 at Mountford Hall, the...
