Voice In The Crowd: Kenny Birchall

This weeks Voice in the Crowd features mad blue and avid GrandOldTeam.com reader Kenny Birchall.

Kenny, 36 and hailing from Garston, gave some colourful answers that I’m sure most of us would agree with. Such is his dedication to the blues he declined to have his photograph featured in this article, instead insisting I use a shot of Duncan Ferguson!
