My first ever Liverpool match was New Years Day 1985 at Watford. No great story attached I’m afraid. I was 8 and my family were visiting my Grandparents who didn’t live too far from Watford at the time.
I remember me, my grandad, my brother and my dad went along. My Grandad was the only driver behind me getting into football really, and took me to quite few games in the mid eighties, my dad had no interest, and I was/am the only Reds fan.
I know we stood in one of the ends of the ground, and I like to think it was the Liverpool one as my grandad bought me a scarf and a badge before the game which I was wearing.
Wasnt a great game but like the above post we were rescued by a late Rush equaliser. I was sure Barnes scored for them but looked it up a little while back and discovered it was Luther Blissett.
New Years Day isn’t quite the big football day it used to be back then, thanks to Sky spreading the games out etc, but I suppose on the flip side it’s a lot easier to watch games on tv now than it was then.
