LIVERPOOL NIGHTS OUT
Liverpool would always let us have nights out, with the highlight being the fancy dress Christmas party. Not many managers would go out with their players but Kenny did. One year he turned up dressed as a judge. This was just after Jan Molby had made a few appearances in court and been locked up. John Barnes memorably wore a Ku Klux Klan costume too, nothing was really off limits and the media never picked up that story. I wasn’t quite so controversial when I went as Cooperman, a Russ Abbot character based on Superman. By the end of the night I was in a right state and went in search of a taxi home. It was the usual situation where you can’t get a cab at Christmas because everyone is out celebrating. Finally I managed to flag one down and said: “Woolton please.” The driver looked me up and down and said: “I’m not going anywhere. If you’re Cooperman you can fly home.” And off he drove. I’m sure he was an Evertonian. I had to ring my missus for a lift instead.

haha, it's like he's a 10 year old girl. he's an odious [Poor language removed], nobody likes him, got nothing to do with evertonians. other possible explanations include:
  • he was so drunk that it wasn't even a taxi, he just didn't realise
  • it was a taxi, but because he was so drunk the driver wouldn't allow him in for obvious reasons
  • there was a guy standing behind him in a ku klux klan outfit
  • he's john aldridge.

Hes shameless making little of people .....more from that piece. Gary Ablett was probably trying to swerve going out with the tightarsed ratbag.

Even when it wasn’t the festive season we were always up for a few pints at Anfield. Usually we’d head straight to the players’ lounge after a game. Some of the lads who had been around for a while even had their own spots at the bar, such as Alan Hansen. I didn’t know that and neither did my dad when he came to watch one of my first games for the club. I’d arranged to meet him in the lounge afterwards and when I got there he was standing in Jockey’s spot. “You’re in my place,” Alan told him. “It’s not your place now,” my old man responded as he refused to move. Usually Steve Nicol and I would rush to the bar at Anfield, all the ale was free so it was great. Then we’d make our way into town. There was always a group of us. Lads like Ray Houghton and Steve McMahon would be there sometimes, and Gary Ablett too, on the days he was allowed to go out. Gary Gillespie, or me if I’m honest, were probably the worst when it came to getting a round in.

I honestly thought Aldridge was finished in the media after he tried to suggest that Howard Webb shouldn't be refereeing Liverpool games due to his connections with South Yorkshire Police.

But no.

He should have been.

What's more LFC fans should have been up in arms and saw to it that he was.
 

One must never forget that they caused the death of 39 fans by behaving like ghastly creatures and then if that wasn't enough they got our best ever team banned from Europe because of these actions. Then instead of holding their hands up and saying "soz abar us" they then proceeded to try and blame Chelsea.

Never forgot that for as long as their out of town beauts breathe.

Dont forget that they have the nerve to claim we are "bitter" cos of it, yeah, cos we are just gonna forget, like it was nothing.

Honestly.
 

what does irk me a hell of a lot is the european cup stuff they like to run with.

I mean i saw a picture on facebook of how many cups each team had won, with arsenal and everton on the bottom with 'thanks for trying' next to them. Its the complete dismissal of history there to be like oh you havent won a cup like our 5, but we'll forget that we stopped you qualifying for years when you were at your best.
