2013 & 7th ANNUAL LIVERPOOL FC SUPPORTERS FRIENDSHIP VISIT TO MOENCHENGLADBACH.
I'd just like to pass on my thanks & appreciation to ALL Liverpool FC Supporters who travelled to the City of Moenchengladbach at the weekend to enhance & strengthen even further a friendship that is unique in world football.
We had 86 Liverpool supporters in total in Gladbach at the weekend, the vast majority from the Merseyside region but also Liverpool FC supporters from London, Crewe, Scotland, Ireland, Holland & Belgium, as well as members of the German Reds.
... All of the supporters were fantastic ambassadors for Liverpool FC & the City of Liverpool and the weekend was once again a total success.
Special guest at this year's friendship weekend was Mary Wilcox, wife of the legendary LFC supporter Bobby Wilcox who very sadly passed away in 2010. It was an honour for us to have Mary present and hope she enjoyed the friendship celebrations.
Thanks also go to the fans of Borussia and the citizens of the City of Moenchengladbach whose hospitality & friendship, as always, is second to none.
It was also a pleasure to have 8 members of the Holland (Alsin) Official LFC Supporters Club(AIB) with us again this year for the second consecutive year and also for the first time, 10 members of the Belgium Official LFC Supporters Club(AIB) led by their Chairman Mikael Roufosse.
Also very special thanks to my friends Jonny & Tanja Polcher, Thomas "Tower" Weinmann, Matthes Neumann, Elmar Kreuels & Michael Plum for their help in organising the 7th consecutive visit to Moenchengladbach. Also special thanks to Willi & Silke Hartmann for their amazing hospitality shown to me yet again during my 5 day stay. Thanks also go to Luke Daley from Ireland & Wallasey based musician legend Rick Craven for their musical/singing expertise during the weekend - amazing!!!
The friendship visit was once again fully endorsed by Liverpool Football Club who supplied with me with a gift to present to the official Borussia Moenchengladbach Supporters Club(AIB) during the official presentations in the BMG Fanhaus after the Borussia v Hannover Bundesliga match (Borussia won 1-0). Anfield stadium announcer the legendary "Voice of Anfield" George Sephton also sent a special message to the Borussia supporters written on a plaque.
LIVERPOOL FC & BORUSSIA MG - EINE GANZ BESONDERE FREUNDSCHAFT
