The 96 who died at Hillsborough will always have a place in every footy supporter's hearts. There's no doubt about it they were innocent victims of a number of events that afternoon.

Most people know the score when it cones to Scousers and the b'stards are still storming gates and getting in without tickets today. > On 20 Apr 2014, at 00:33, Andy Pyzer <andypy...@hotmail.com> wrote: > > Regardless of opinions and we all have them, for me Liverpool have been the > best team this year and deserve to win the League as the best footballing > team and I hope they do and I hope Everton get into top 4 too. > > When I moved to Liverpool in 1971 at age 5 from Scotland and chose an English > team it was obviously Leeds because we were the best and had some Scottish > players obviously and my mate Kevin supported them.... and Liverpool were not > destined to be huge for 20 years were they?
