Who was your favourite player when you first "saw the light?"
My Dad grew up in Romley St off County Road. Went to Arnott St School. My grandad (his dad) who I can't remember as he passed away when I was 2, took my Dad to home games and even some 'local' away games (RS, City, Utd, Burnley, Bolton etc). So that was it. RS were never an option.Same here just my late father a mad Evertonian from Vauxhall road near Scottie road in Liverpool his father & himself Everton mad - I was born a Blue, all three kids were Blues it was just a natural he lived for them ............
Growing up in Ireland I watched football, back in the 80s we had to be fiddling around with the aerial to have any hope of getting UK tv channels - mostly it was watching in the local pub where they had access to more channels.
I was 14 and don't remember exactly how it occurred but I found myself in my local pub one weekend and it was packed to the rafter, no idea what was going on - nada, zilch. I remember the smoke, the shouting and the noise. - absolutely electric. I wanted to know what was going on so went to the TV and a match was going on, I had no idea who was playing but I was hooked -- I couldn't get anywhere to sit down so sat on the pool table, nor get any food or drink as the place was far too busy. The pub is long closed, like many in rural Ireland and the owner long in another world.
So the match -- I was transfixed on the screen and I remember a goal was scored, and there was silence -- and then there was roars from sections of the crowd...my mind was made up, this is my team. I tend to be a rebel in life as it occurred and don't go with the masses
This is the goal
