Away from Christmas, did anyone enjoy sport at school? I loved it and was in the school hockey and netball teams and I always loved running. I remember one hockey match when I got whacked on the shin by some girl, god it didn't half hurt and I know I shouldn't have but I got my revenge, I chased her right down the pitch and whacked her back.

I loved sport, I represented the school at Football, Cricket, Athletics, Boxing and swimming.

Yep I liked boxing and the other stuff but football was/is my love. I remember one fight I had, "Liverpool Schools Boxing Tournement" I think that's what it was called, I was doing well and reached the semi final, the lad I was fighting was from Sefton Park School, it felt like they had ducktaped my face to his left glove.

Blimey is that Moss Side in Manchester?

I'd have loved a boxing team at school, I'd have loved any sport at school provided it got me out of lessons - was in the school rugby, cricket and football teams and the athletics, swimming squads, table tennis even won the chess congress at paddington for my age group (twice) it was all down hill after puberty though....... girls eh .... also explains why i've broken every bone in my body ... er nothing to do with the girls that though at least I dont think it was ... hold on a sec........ can sex weaken yer bones?

I was in the rugby and football teams in primary school but went a bit off the rails in secondary school and couldn't be arsed with any of it.

Can't actually remember being in the football team but there is a team photo with me in it so I suppose I must have been.

Wasn't good enough to be in the cricket team and not fit enough for athletics or cross country.

Yeah, but I aint that tough. The boxing we do does not allow head shots, just the body, although I have had me ribs broken a few times. To be honest I do it more for the training, circuits and the like, then we do four or five rounds in the ring.

Funny thing, first time I went to the club it was a bit intimidating, I stood out a little like, but the guy who trains me is an x champ and he introduced me to the lads, gotta say their all (well nearly all) a sound bunch. Its the Phil Martin center on the main drag through Moss Side, above the shops.

Just came across this and feel it be most enjoyed in here than anywhere else

LFChistory.net came across this wonderful song in a 1907 edition of Liverpool Echo. "Hurrah for the Reds" was composed by W Seddon on 31st August 1907. Paul Wilkes is a singer/songwriter from Liverpool who so graciously agreed to record for us the first known supporters song for Liverpool. Please visit also Wilson Minds' Facebook page where you can find more about this promising artist who is currently recording his first album with his band Wilson Minds.

Here you can listen to this wonderful song!

The lyrics go like this. Hurrah for the boys to play the game. Hurrah for the Reds! Hurrah for the boys there's none can tame. Hurrah for the Reds! There's Hew-itt and Mac to lead the at-tack! With Har-dy to hold the fort, boys. There's God-dard and Cox, and Rais-beck, the fox. And more of the good old sort, boys. Hur-rah Hur-rah Hur-rah Hur-rah Hur-rah for the Reds!

Click on the image for a bigger version of the songsheet.

This recording has already got a tremendous response by those closely associated to the club and LFC.tv. Watch this space...

LFChistory also sent the recording to a couple of Kop regulars who keep the singing going at the Park on Walton Breck Road and they didn't take long in updating the lyrics and they are now going to sing this before every game and make it a part of Park folklore.

Hurray for the reds that play the game , Hurray for the reds. Hurray for the reds that none contain , Hurray for the reds There 's Carra about who leads with a shout and Reina to hold the fort boys. There's Gerrard and Cole who plays in the hole with Torres to score the goals boys. Hurray Hurray Hurray Hurray . . . . Hurray for the reds!

Hopefully we will hear "Hurray for the Reds" at Anfield anytime soon!

Click on the link to listen to the song.

I used to love Christmas Day when I was a kid.

There was always one of my Dads big woolly socks hanging on the end of my bed and inside a packet of gold chocolate coins, a tangerine, a couple of dates wrapped up in tissue paer and a toy.

I remember getting a doll one year. About 12" tall, its head, legs and arms were all kept on by elastic bands and it had a red and white stripey dress on.

I thought it was brilliant.

Then after one of our many arguments my brother cut through all the elastic bands

So he took his socks off before coming into the house?

I'd never have had you down as being a rugby man Tony, although I should have known better when you mentioned Wales. Cross country was one of my other favourites and as for the smoking, like you I was always getting caught but never got off with it.

Strange when you look back at how restricted we were in school, you with not being able to play in any other teams and me, well I wasn't allowed to chose typing as an option; apparently I was more suited to learning languages.

Get out of our Club, get out of our Club:-

Dear John,

We the 12thMan, some of us being Fat Scousers’ and others Adopted_Scousers are a little anxious at the state of our club that one of our friends, poor Dr. Beaker, is morphing into Doc Evil because he’s having trouble restraining our WeebroAlan from taking matters into his own hands by stealing BillyBoys’ boots . Billy in turn is trying desperately to convince Killer Heels to part with her shoes to Zappa the Red Isle Chap all the way down the Al55 to London, via Andy @ Allerton’s house.

So without further ado, we are hoping you hear our plea to remove this Red Isle Chap and fraud who is not fit to be associated with our club, let alone share in our history alongside great names such as Messrs. Shankly and Paisley.

Before the Venticino de Mayo and preferably before the Bunny Men of Lents appear we would urge you to give this man the Chopper and make sure that not only is he kicked out of Anfield but also L6 and beyond. Then and only then can we let Groundkeeper Willy get back to looking after our 18 league titles and 5 Europeancups.

My biggest fear is that inaction on the part of NESV/FSG will see us all turning into Mad Men and Old Brian’s Old Cold will go Rusty-La and it will turn into another Epic Swindle, not of your making.

Yours sincerely

A Potential Patient of Winwick Hospital

Been woefully ill for a few days. Just dragged meself up off me sick bed to say... oh there's nothing to say about that, is there.

To make it worse, the daughter and son in law surprised us today. They'd booked a cottage in the country for us and the grandkids for this weekend. They are lovely kids. We didn't have an idea they'd done it, and we're both gutted, proper gutted, but there's just no way we can do it. I can barely get off the couch, and she's barely been out the bedroom for days.

Oh well, let's hope there's a bright side... hopefully he'll be gone by the time I get over this and come back on.

People forget, just what pride Rafa put back into that team. I always went to a game, knowing we had a chance even when we went 1-0 down, because we would never give up. Remember the Chelsea game in the Champions League, when we lost at Anfield but ended up drawing 4-4 at Stamford Bridge, one of my proudest moment as a Red, even though we lost the game. I look at the players now, and there is no fight there at all, it is so depressing.

If you're reading these boards Rafa, offer you're services lad, and I'll be back to my contented self again.

Ah bugger it, The Pic as Pontius pilot was just superb - some right clever sods on here aren't there. No idea how they do it. Made me laugh on a morning like this morning so that was a bonus.
