I always thought he supported Plymouth
Sure he did
The Welsh in Liverpool.
John Edward Jones (Ioan Maesgrug) was born in Liverpool to Welsh parents on 23rd December 1914. He was educated in Liverpool before training as a barrister and becoming a circuit judge in 1969.
Edward Jones was active in many Welsh circles in Liverpool, serving as president of the Liverpool Choral Society, president of the Merseyside Branch of the Red Cross, a Fellow of the Merseyside Eisteddfod and a Moderator of the Liverpool presbyterian church. He was a member of the Gorsedd of Bards taking the name ‘Ioan Maesgrug’ and had a particular interest in the history of the Welsh in Liverpool. He published many books on the subject.
There are strong links between Liverpool and North Wales, indeed its very name is thought to have come from 'Lle'r pwll' - that is 'the place of the pool'. The Welsh travel for work, shopping, cultural events and nights out, while many Liverpudlians holiday in North Wales resorts. This is illustrated by the large number of Welsh surnames still evident in the city, such as Hughes, Williams and Owens. The city centre's Pall Mall was known as 'Little Wales' and a chapel built in Toxteth was for a long time the largest Welsh Chapel in the world. The 'Welsh Streets' in Liverpool are named after Welsh towns, valleys and villages, Ringo Starr for instance, was born at 9 Madryn Street and one of the stands at Everton F.C's Goodison Park is named the Gwladys Street Stand,. They were constructed by Welsh builders for Welsh immigrants and it is estimated that by 1850, over 20,000 Welsh builders were working within Liverpool.
There was a huge growth in rural to urban migration across the whole of the UK during the 19th century and Liverpool experienced dynamic industrialization and rapid urban development. The port became one of the world‟s largest and most important seaports, known as ‘Europe‟s gateway to the Atlantic’ with a financial and commercial centre that was second only to London. Welsh Slate had been traditionally shipped from Liverpool and as the port grew, it attracted many people from the North Wales in search of work. So much so that by 1813, around 10% of Liverpool's residents were Welsh and it became known as the unofficial 'Capital of North Wales'. A combination of factors including the proximity, the language, the chapel infrastructure and business success interacted to create a culturally rich and politically active Welsh community in the city, so much so that The National Eisteddfod was been held in Liverpool - 1840 - 1854 - 1884 - 1900 and 1929.

….Shaw St, 1908. Have to say, I don’t remember any shops on Shaw St in ‘60s;
….Liverpool Empire, originally opened in 1866, was called ‘The Prince of Wales’ for a time then reconstructed in 1896. The Beatles played their last show there on 5th Dec ‘65, my mother-in-law told me she say Nat King Cole and I saw a young Elton John in around ‘73;
Me neither

I lived in Fairy Street many years ago. In between Heyworth Street and Netherfield Road.
Sorry about the two photos. It's all or nothing with me and technology 
I went to Heyworth Street School, but many years later
