Hello all.
My names Ben... i was born in 1988 lol
Reason im a fan: My grandad was a scouse Bitter... moved up to the lakes, his son, my dad, supported Liverpool becasue he was a glory fan.. and to annoy his Father becasue he wasn't really into football as hes a Rugby man. I myself am a rugby man as I play it, but love football more, i just wish i was half decent. infact thats a lie i dont love football I love Liverpool, I don't no where my loyalty has come from, maybe its come from the club itself... its sort of sets up camp in your brain and wont leave. People will question my loyalty as i havent been to hundreds of games and i'm young... but if I had the money id have a season ticke, follow us away in europe. When i buy a house itl be near liverpool so even if im not at the game i can come down and enjoy the matchday buzz.
I lived in Lancaster untill recently when I moved to the capital as part of a years work experience on my Uni course. Living in Londons great... but I miss the north already.
Hang on... I'm not sure im supposed to be telling you my life story really...
Back to football.
I went to see Liverpool 2or3 times a year untill the age of 15 but always for my birthday. First game i saw was a 3 nill home defeat at the hands on Newcastle. I saw us beat Southampton 7-1 and also saw us beat aston villa 3nil, we scored 3 in the first 18 mins or something, I remember saying to my Dad "woah where gona score loads today..." he being older and wiser new otherwise, he was correct, Liverpool sat back and the rest of the game was poor. I'm not sure whether it was a Robbie hatrick... fastest hatrick ever or something... im going to research it after being on here.
When I got older I started going with mates, we managed to get champs league tickes quite often. In the season we won it I went to every home game apart from the semi against chelsea... Meaning I saw Olympiakos.
I was in the anny road end right next to the divide between us and the greeks. Was quite scary to be honest they were all going mad.. specially when they went 1 up. The second half was well, ill never forget it, When Gerrard scored this massive guy sat behind me ended up next to me huging me and lifting me in the air. we were stood on our seats shouting at the greeks. Was amazing. Then we won it... was going to come to Liverpool to watch it somewhere in town but as I was 17 i didnt wana risk not getting in. Watched it in a Walkabout in Lancaster and it was brilliant.
I have been on here for a while posting every now and then but usually just observing. There is a lot of
spoken on here aswell as a lot of sense but its all good fun. I told myself I wasn't going to get into the general chat business as id never get any work done... but as ive been in my job for a while now ive started slacking and today SAP is down so ive nothing I can do so I thought id make myself known.Anyway I hope i haven't bored anone that chose to read this.
Id like to here other peoples favourite LFC moments either when we have won something or something that just sums LFC fans, team, culture up. I cant explain what we mean really i just wana hear ur match day stories.... Do we have a thread somewhere?
