When I came across this football thread created by yourself, i became totally emersed.  I went through every emotion known to man, just me alone with my bottle of Jack Daniels, interupted only by visits to the fridge for ice cubes.
 
When I came across your RIP Sir Bobby Robson, i took it as a chance to thank you (belated as it was), and also to introduce myself.

Thanks for all the above, and yes I was born in 1957.
 
I was not allowed to like football as a kid, my father was an ex rugby player and considered football to be a girls game.  I did manage to watch an F.A. Cup final at a friends house in 1965 Liverpool 2 Leeds 1, and all the choruses of "ee - ai - adio we've won the cup".  That was it, hooked, never missed a cup final since. 
 
My house must have been the only one in the whole of England that wasn't viewing the 1966 world cup final. I was informed that we had won, and never saw the game in full until many years later. 
 
That cup final in 1965 must have been an amazing experience for you!
 
"Shankly has quit". The whole football world were stunned, god only knows what you felt like.  The guy was larger than life, the biggest legend of all time in the world of football.  His whit and passion for the game will never be surpassed, and every time you walk through the Shankly gates it must send a shiver down your spine. 
 
Did he ever have a testimonial?
Were you there? 
What was it like?
 
I have to say though, you had a succession of fantastic managers who emerged from the famous Liverpool boot room. 
 
When are your American owners going to build the new ground?
I heard that part of the design was to have a 20,000 seater kop end, in the same shape as has allways been?
 
How do you feel about a new ground?
 
Would a new ground take away some of the magic on European nights?
