As Sir Pork Chops

says above I probably had nothing to do with the timing of my arrival!

My mother lived in a house called Everton!

So I think the omens were set for me to be a Liverpool supporter.

My father had no interest in sport so my class mates at school influenced the choices available Leeds, Huddersfied, Arsenal or Chelsea.

I think that I took the right fork in the road.

No regrets
