Beatles for their contributions to Music and their overall place in the cultural zeitgeist, but I personally prefer The Rolling Stones’ actual music. Sacrilege for a lad from Liverpool to say, I know.

What’s the greatest small pleasure in life?

The way my dog acts every time he sees me, even if it’s only been 5 minutes, like it’s been a lifetime apart. That or a perfectly made cup of tea on a crisp dry morning.

If you could go back to any moment in your life which would it be and why?

If you could go back to any moment in your life which would it be and why?

Difficult one. I’ve had some great moments, maybe not as many as I’d like. One that jumps to mind was a cup final I played in for my Primary School when I was a young lad, 10 years old. It had been a tipsy turvy 3-3 between us and the other best school in our area, it went to penalties and all my team and the other team were breaking down in tears bless them. I was taker number 5 and hit a strong but poorly controlled penalty high and down the middle, beating the keeper who dived to his left. Some weird euphoria seemed to collectively take over everyone there, our team and all the parents and school staff because as I was running back to them, arms in the air, all the parents grabbed me and started throwing me up in the air like we’d won the Champions League and everyone just seemed really proud. The team were going mad. I’ve played in the FA Cup and FA Vase, won the league at the 9th tier of the game as an adult but that I think is still my favourite memory and best feeling on a football pitch. I was playing with my mates, young, innocent and it was that time in your life where football was everything.

What’s your TV guilty pleasure?

Absolutely not. If we’re assuming a 3% chance at any time whatsoever that I’m looking to apply the breaks, I reckon I’d be in an accident inside a week. No point having your dream car for a few days and then being robbed of it or worse, your health and life.

Henderson,  the abuse he gets on twitter by Liverpool "fans" is incredible, hes also vastly underrated by opposing fans too

Will owning Chelsea get Abramovic off the hook from Sanctions?

I think he’ll feel the impact of sanctions in a fairly minor way that will be an inconvenience to him and nothing more. Chelsea won’t be operationally affected for some time, if it all.

You have the power to close down one of the following teams. They play no further fixtures and have no ability to extend their history. Who are you shutting the doors of for good: Newcastle Utd, PSG, Man City, Man Utd?

City. Easy one for me that. Chelsea changes things slightly with their spending, but City took it beyond all recognition and then went above and beyond to hide it.

If you could take football back in time to an "era", but it includes everything from the standard of stadiums / fans, the quality of football, the spending, the cost, the TV coverage, etc, when would it be?

The best time for me going the match was the 70's/80's. Most I paid to get in Kop, until I was 18 was £1.50, the Reds were winning everything and social media didn't exist, so there wasn't the venom and shite directed at players. The downside was the hooligans and I'd not like to go back to that, so probably the 60's.

I'm not a crier with TV, movies or Music but that doesn't mean they can't stir deep emotion in me. The Cure's Plainsong always makes me feel so many conflicting emotions that it's a big one for me.

What's the biggest 'luxury' that you spend on regularly? Mine's probably Game Pass for xbox or more likely that we go on 3-4 City breaks and holidays a year in normal circumstances.

What level of spicy can you handle with food?

I can handle spice, but I actually don't like it when it gets to the point where all you can taste is the spice. Mowgli is great for that in that Nisha has spice in the food, but it's not at the point where you can't taste the actual food.

If you had to choose between alcohol or dairy for the rest of your life. What are you picking and why?

As in keeping? Definitely dairy. Do like a beer or a nice rum and coke, but nothings coming close to cheese in its importance.

Noted for their slowness of movement, they spend most of their lives hanging upside down in the trees of the tropical rainforests of South America and Central America

Absolutely sad but even as a kid I fancied being a footy commentator. Don’t know why I didn’t pursue it more. Now I’d love to be part of Edward’s scouting and recruitment set up at Liverpool. Reckon I could do a good job at it too.

Droylsden was where I grew up, but they withdrew from the Northern Prem D1 during covid, hope they can get back involved next season. They managed to get to the Conference in 2008 but then had to start paying their taxes so went down a few divisions quite quickly.

Lived in SW London for a while so my side down there was Hampton & Richmond Borough (the Beavers) - saw Jamal Lowe playing at that level about 5 years ago and you could see he was very good.

Lived in Hamburg for a year for uni so follow HSV. St Pauli are try-hard cool.

One of my best mates is Huddersfield through and through so have been to Wembley and around the country with their away end.

Question: what's your favourite and least favourite station on Merseyrail?

[Drinks Sangria]

Good question. Lime St is my favourite. It’s not the closest to my old home but it is homecoming for me, if I’m ever getting off at Lime St it’s to see family or watch the Reds. Least favourite is Port Sunlight. Routinely had to get off there when I was at my lowest ebb in a job I despised, so just seeing it on the Wirral line gives me pangs of that old anxiety.

Too many to mention in a restaurant, Vilamoura on the Algarve called Fernando's.
Used to treat myself every Thursday night, my day off when I worked over there for the best part of 10 years.
If I was pushed I would say the best T-bone steak ever there.

Will the Premier League ever grow a pair of balls and stop the blood money coming in for good?

Loads. Got hot oil on my arm last week doing a stir fry. Four inch long burn on me right now. The Mrs is like.... "why aren't you complaining?"  broken my nose in a fight, I was gonna say when I broke my little finger but I got almost bullied into getting that checked out (pointless as well,I'd already taped it to my ring finger which was all the hozzy recommended)

What's the worst thing you've seen from the Anfield crowd (excluding away fans)?

[Drinks Sangria]

Back in about 2010 when things were falling apart under the owl, a young lad maybe in his early 20s squaring up to an auld fella and grabbing him by the throat over some petty argument. The lad had been throwing insults and the old guy said words to the effect of ‘just support the team’ and the young lad went wild immediately. I stepped in the way to try and calm it and luckily three or four other blokes stepped in to calm things. I was only a teenager, weighed probably 9 stone at the time so was thankful when a few lads from around stepped in. Stewards chucked the lad out, he seemed coked up in retrospect. Only trouble I’ve really seen at Anfield. Seen much worse on aways.
