Slowly working my way through the outstanding sections of Shanks during my breaks this week at work and what a treat this was.
Made me remember when my grandad bought me my first crown paints kit (he's from Liverpool, I was born in Manchester) Twas Christmas and I was about 7, he was sat in his chair sipping a pint of mild and gestured me over, produced a hastily wrapped package which I tore open to discover a shining red kid, complete with shorts and socks.. He wasn't a man of many words and just simply said "Here you go, try this on for size - you support Liverpool now, one day you'll realise what it means" and over the many years of us sharing our passion for the club I do - memories like these just further strengthen the bond and make you feel privileged to be part of such a unique and special family.
