Belive it was on Anfield, Pepole on Roger Phillips were talking about it today. Didn't give a very good impression from what was said.
I knew there'd be people on the blower to Roger Phillips about it the next day. There's a lot of people who only phone that show to have a good old moan about anything and everything. They shouldn't be having a go at the producers of The Secret Millionaire, it should be a go at the people who've let that area go down the pan.
Anfield is a sh*t hole I go there every week to see the in laws. Its a sh*t hole because regenaration means rows of empty boarded up houses attract kids and vandelism.Also the car got broken into, the driver must have been an idiot to leave stuff in a new car outside that house he deserved to be broken into. On the plus side it did show that despite the obvious difficulties living there the people came across as good honest people trying to help out in their communities and that was really positive. Also the guy gave away £127k which made a huge difference to the people he met. If anyone is to blame for the area it is the Council for not getting on with the regeneration.
Absolutely spot on mate. I often work around Anfield and some areas of it are ridiculously bad.
But as you rightly say, this particular episode emphasised on the genuine decent people of Anfield living in a terribly difficult area. There was one part of it where it showed a man brushing up rubbish outside his house amongst a street of boarded up houses. Pride!!
If anything, it was a deserved dig at the council
and the wankers running our club. And whilst doing so, proving that people shouldn't be judged by where they come from.
And that fella who was the millionaire seemed like a proper decent fella.
