First game on tv (I can remember) was the 1977 FA cup final where we lost on out on THE treble (ultimately) by losing to a lucky Utd winner! Cried after the match (first but not last time crying after a Liverpool defeat!)
First live game I had to look it up I'm afraid, but away to Swansea in the old 1st division 18th Sept 1982 as a 13 year old.
As Swansea is local to us, my dad took me & my 2 brothers (all Liverpool fans due to my dad's dad being a scouser) to the Vetch, but we were in the the Swans end.
I remember being totally overwhelmed at seeing my heroes Dalglish, Rush, Souness & co in the flesh!
We won easily, 3-0 and my abiding memory (probably distorted over time) was the 3rd goal with Kenny in the centre circle collecting the ball facing our goal, swivelling and putting a 40 yard diagonal pass to Rushie who went through & slotted home.
I was on such a high, I remember playing football in a kick-about with my mates in the schoolyard (school was next to my house & just had to climb the gates) that evening and I was like Dalglish on speed I was buzzing so much.
Didn't get to Anfield for another 20 years, and times were a lot harder for us then...
