….lovely memories, Buddy. in those days being an England schoolboy international was real pedigree, as was playing for Liverpool Schoolboys. He must have been some player.

When I played for the City Team I had already signed for a top club but they weren’t allowed to contact me during that season, how times have changed.

i went to John Hamilton so I guess you lived not far away. A good mate of mine told me Archie had played in goal, I never met him although ironically I know a few of his family. He was a classy footballer but I think he had a few demons, the YouTube clip of him playing for Birmingham against Steve Coppell at OT is a classic.
Yes John Hamilton was about 3 streets away from the front of the school.At the back of your School was a in closed yard which we called Wembley were kids would come and play football without the normal problems of being out of your patch.There were 3 lads in are street who went to the school but only the clever kids so not me. I read in the Echo a few years back some one messed with his car and he got done for G.B.H .that's what surprised me when you said he lived near you,i knew him as a lad and a blue ,but there is something in us scouser's that make us great but also mad.
 
I watched that 68 final in full a few weeks ago. In glorious colour! We just didn't turn up on the day. I reckon it was something to do with the sponsorship deal the players signed with puma before the game. All our players wore puma boots that day. Only a couple wore them every week, so the rest were playing in brand new boots. Thats my excuse.
Husband deffo couldn't stand up in his, kept on slipping over...when he wasn't heading or shooting over
