Gravesen kept his place in there for years after I think

Bumped in to Tony Grant at some point in the 90's, he'd recently scored a 'wonder goal' though I can't now remember who it was against. If I remember correctly, it was one of those where nobody knew if he meant it or not. I've tried to find a...

Met quite a few over the years at various functions, but 'random' meets that come to mind are Mike Lyons (at a petrol station on the East Lancs) Mike Newell (visiting when I worked at the Hospital) and an elderly but still fit Duncan McKenzie...

Pre season game at Winsford before the 84/85 season. My manager at the time was a friend of Mark Higgins, and got me and a mate tickets for the directors lounge. It was set up to give Sheedy, Harper and Gray a run out before the Charity Shield...

No, he frequented the Orient (his uncle was the landlord), which is at the far end of Speke on Easter Avenue / East Millwood Road. The Fox, or the Dunnies as it now is, is on Hale Road behind the Premier Inn, and from my own experience the...

No, it’s true. From recollection, she was about 19 at the time, and it all started after he spent many evenings drinking in the bar after training. He gave her a lump of money and everything was smoothed over, as the news didn’t go down well.

He was living in his daughters house by us for a while - think he had money troubles. He was a regular in the local members club and used to drink in there with a neighbour of mine, who`s not into football in anyway at all, but said he was very...

Gazza moved on from there to the Woolton Redbourne with Five Bellies. ( now the house of one of the owners of the B&M empire ) He was constantly pissed and apparently very well liked and extremely generous.

The world has changed.

When we won the cup winners cup and league just after there was a award ceremony at supporters club City road me and my mates were up there only young teenagers didn't know it was happening .we were up there gonna kick some other lads heads in...

Mikel Madar had just joined and tried to buy a contract mobile phone from me. Failed his credit check because he was living in the Moat House! Full on French temper tantrum in the shop😂

Duncan McKenzie presented our Sunday League team with awards once, Very friendly bloke. Met Mick Lyons in the queue of the burger/kebab bar over the road from Mr. Pickwicks. We used to call it Pick-a-Dicks. I'm convinced to this day that the...
