STEVE TANCOCK A CHAMPIONS League semi-final berth has exceeded all our pre-season expectations, hasn’t it? To paraphrase The Anfield Wrap’s Neil Atkinson, what a time for Liverpool Football Club, what a time to be a Red. Not only have Liverpool secured a Champions...
THE first time I visited Liverpool, I was 10 years old. My first game at Anfield saw Liverpool pump West Ham 6-0. My dad was pleased. Every time Kenny Dalglish came near the Anny Road end he’d pull out his camera and snap him. I remember feeling starstruck. Ian Rush...
