Your Footie team!

[kaiowas]

Your Team?
Liverpool

Why?
I was born there and most of my family are from there. Not sure how I ended up red rather than blue though as my dad and brother are both Evertonians.

For How long?
As long as I can remember

First game?
Not sure, I moved away from Liverpool when I was only a few months old so didn't get the opportunity to go very often. My grandad (another bluenose) used to take me occasionally when we were up there visiting and I've got vague memories of a 3-1 win at Goodison and I had a programme from an Arsenal game at Anfield that I must have been at. The Panini Football '86 sticker album had a page of programme covers from each of the first division sides and the Liverpool one was the same Arsenal programme that I had so I'm guessing the game must have been in 85.

Most memorable game?
Champions League Final 2005

Worst game?
26th May 1989

Fav player?
Ian Rush (Random fact. He was sticker number 132 in the aforementioned football '86 album and the last sticker I needed to complete the Liverpool page. 132 has been 'my' number ever since along with 23 which was the shirt number given to most of Liverpools hot youth prospects in recent years.)

What of your team now?
Having our traditional mid-season slump which will come to an end as suddenly as it started when we inexplicably play Inter Milan off the park in a couple of weeks time. We'll then have a stunning run of form until the end of the season and still end up fourth.
