ive met the players of all eras during my time,1971 to present, But the two that stand out are [1] 1990 the last time we won the title Me and a couple of workmates bought winning tickets to the game we actually won the title against Q.P.R. In with the prize was a 5 course meal,limo to and from ground, Directors box tickets, access to players lounge before and after game, and ended up in the dressing room for a few minutes! Amazing . [2] The other was en listening to tapes all theon an away trip to Derbys Baseball Ground. Unknown to us the game had been called off at 11.30, so when we pulled up to the ground we were surprised to see Roy Evans bringing the Kit skip back on the coach. We asked Roy ' whats going on' and he told us the pitch was waterlogged, only we hadnt heard the news coz wed been listening to tapes all the way! So We followed the coach back to the Post House Hotel, Nottingham, and fully expected to be stopped, especially as I could see the shape of this big bloke who I presumed to be Security through some frosted glass. Turns out it was John Barnes who saw my Liverpool top and welcomed us in. As we went in all the players were coming through from breakfast. All the squad from the Aldo, Rush,Barnes , Beardsley days. One of the best in my opinion. Great Memories.
