Thanks for the info s@int but I actually saw Bob Paisley and Phil Taylor play for the reds many many times.You could be right regarding Bob not playing for England but Phil played for England Schoolboys,England B and the full England team.I am beginning to think it could of been Phil Taylor who was the third man to play at centre half for England.
I never saw Bob play, but I stood beside him for about 5 mins. My friends and I needed tickets for a match (think it was the UEFA cup final.) We had been going regularly for a while but had never needed tickets before, so before one game we searched for the ticket office.
Seeing a glass building we walked towards the door to see if it was the right one. Infront of me was a little bloke with curly hair (Elton Welsby off Kick off) and as he walked through the door.... so did I. My b***ard mates just stopped outside laughing.
On entering I was met by all the Liverpool team and their families, fully dressed in smart suites etc. So I can't claim I still thought it was the ticket office, but to the left there was a cubicle with a queue of people infront of it. Thinking it would give me extra time to look at our players I went to the back of the queue and tried to look as if I belonged there.(with my scarf, jeans and scruffy coat)
Thats when Bob came over and stood leaning against the wall about two feet from me waiting patiently for his turn. I never plucked up the courage to speak to him (something I have always regretted) but when my turn came at the window, the girl just shouted for the security and I was roughly escorted from Bob's presence and the players lounge(?)
I could have reached out and touched him..... my moment of glory.
