YOU see the pictures and the footage from the glory days, writes RACHAEL HUNTER. You hear the stories from those lucky enough to have witnessed it first hand and it only serves to increase your desire – your pining – for your very own slice of history. I was only 12...
LIVERPOOL locking horns with Real Madrid in the biggest game of the European football calendar has a eloquent feel to it, writes JOEL SANDERSON-MURRAY. Feels right, doesn’t it? The names bounce off the page at you. Liverpool and Real Madrid, these are the big boys,...
