The Oldies Thread

Was reminiscing with my brother about our schooldays in Liverpool and we got on to the football games which went on at break times and lunch times. These would be 30 or 40 a side and to join in you just asked 'which way are Everton kicking.' The ball was an old shiny tennis ball and one goal was on the school building and the other on the brick air-raid shelter at the other end of the playground. It never ceased to amaze me how even the numbers were for Everton v Liverpool. You were lucky if you got more than three or four kicks in each game, but that didn't matter as long as 'Everton' won! Bragging rites were key.

Yep, been there, done that...no quarter asked or given.
