AFTER four starts without a goal, Emile Heskey scored the first of his Liverpool career as The Reds won 3-0 away at Coventry City on this day 15 years ago. The striker — an £11million buy from Leicester in March 2000 — had fired blanks against Sunderland,...
THERE was a time when it looked like it wouldn’t happen for Peter Crouch at Liverpool. Arriving at the home of the reigning European Champions from Southampton for a fee of £7million, the 6ft 7ins striker from Macclesfield was written off by many before he even...
HAVE you ever looked up Barcelona’s honours list? I just did. I knew it would be good. But for the record it reads: 22 times La Liga Champions, 26 times Copa del Rey winners, four times European Cup winners (smiles) and four times European Cup Winners’ Cup winners....
ACCORDING to the always excellent LFCHistory.Net, Liverpool FC has scored 9,408 goals in 5,456 competitive matches. So for a goal to live long in the memory for a lot of Reds, it has to be a bit special. This was a bit special. On this day 31 years ago, after a dour...
GREAT bit of video this. Great kits — check out the collars on the Everton shirts — great saves — see Bruce Grobbelaar from Graeme Sharp and a familiar face in the opposition line up in Steve McMahon. It’s the Goodison derby on this day 33...
BOB Paisley led Liverpool out at Wembley for the last time as the Reds took on Manchester United in the Milk Cup final 32 years ago today. 17-year-old Norman Whiteside gave Ron Atkinson’s United a 12th-minute lead in front of a crowd of 99,000, controlling a...
THE Reds beat Everton 3-1 at Anfield in the 203rd Merseyside Derby nine years ago today. It’s a game that always comes up in conversation, this derby, mainly because of the Evertonians in the Anfield Road celebrating like they’d won the World Cup. What had...
VLADIMIR SMICER volleyed a stoppage-time winner against Chelsea at Anfield to put Liverpool top of the league on this day in 2002. The Czech had replaced Steven Gerrard in the 28th minute and his winner for Gerard Houllier’s side came after Jari Litmanen had...
ON this day in 1991 Liverpool chalked up their most emphatic away win for almost a century as they won 7-1 at The Baseball Ground against Derby County. Peter Shilton was in the County goal but could do nothing to match the rampant Reds as Jan Molby from the spot, John...
LIVERPOOL 2-1 ARSENAL (Alonso 37, Mellor 90+2; Vieira 57) “MELLOR… My goodness. Where did that come from? The right foot of Neil Mellor… it’s probably the last kick of the game.” Scarcely believable as it is but the footage of a fresh faced Neil Mellor unleashing an...
The Pub Crawlers Podcast: Down The Local with Mo Stewart (S1E5)
The fifth episode of season one of The Pub Crawlers Podcast was recorded ‘Down The Local’ in Liverpool, as Rob Gutmann hosts Steve Graves and Mo Stewart to discuss worst pub toilet experiences, music in pubs, Glastonbury, and more…
The Pub Crawlers Podcast represents a quest to find the very best authentic UK pubs, filmed on location inside some of the finest boozers across the UK and Ireland.
Well, sort of. It’s equally about friends having three to four pint-fuelled, quintessential pub conversations, on any subjects that damn well occur to them, in a range of outstanding boozers across the land. So, really, it’s as much about what we get up to in pubs as the pubs themselves.
The shows are presented by self-styled boozer connoisseur and long-time pub designer and owner, Rob Gutmann, who is on a mission to find the very best pubs in the UK and to define the essence of the ‘true’ pub.
Featuring a wide range of guests (mainly Rob’s mates), we’ll be visiting pubs the length and breadth of the country, bedding into the very best of them, and chatting about our lives lived in and around boozers.
The first season of the Pub Crawlers focuses on the North of England, taking in Chester, Sheffield, Manchester, Liverpool, and even a brief foray to the north side of the Midlands in Nottingham.
Plug yourself in to the ongoing conversation as it disappears down all manner of tenuously pub-related worm holes, with your new mates at TPC. And you don’t need a pint to enjoy us, but it might help…
