ECHO Comment: "Fears of Witch-hunt Against Liverpool FC" part 3



My memory is gone, I thought it was home gamea but away makes more sense.

I lived at no. 84 on our road and my late mate Tommy at no. 78 - even numbers on that side, so three doors away. We would each listen in our own houses to the crackle of Radio Merseyside to grasp some news of our beloved Everton. When we scored, we would both tear out into the street and celebrate wildly to the amusement of our neighbours. :)

Tommy and I travelled to many matches in the 80s with the Dublin ESC on the old B&I. Taken suddenly at just 28 with an undiagnosed heart defect. Only 15 days between us in age, and real soul mates. Radio Merseyside was our crackly direct link to goings on at Goodison.

I remember you'd only get about 15 secs of actual commentary per minute with the crackling reception coming and going. Sometimes there'd be a goal and you'd have to wait until the reception came back to see who scored.
