LAST weekend, just days after the high of the derby, Liverpool sold our best player and, not unnaturally, people are concerned about how we replace him — be it in the next few weeks or in the summer. There’s always a sadness when moments like this come. When...
I bumped into a good Red friend this week at a GSCE awards night at my daughter’s school. Peter Harvey and I go back years, to school days in Crosby, Merseyside but more memorably to the local betting shop throughout our student days in the late 1980s. Post...
ENGLAND Under-20s’ World Cup win over the weekend gave the country reason to believe the future is bright, but more importantly it gave Reds reason to be positive about new signing Dominic Solanke. The 19-year-old scored four goals to help guide the Young Lions to...
ROBERTO Firmino’s thunderous half-volley to secure all three points away at Stoke prompted wild celebrations from the Liverpool supporters, the players and the man himself — whipping his shirt off and launching it up in the air in front of a flare-lit away...

What We Call History is a look, in three or four parts, at a season from Liverpool Football Club’s past. Under the aegis of football folk historian Mike Nevin we remember why Liverpool managers, players or crowds did the things they did, how it felt to be at...
