by Kevin Mahon – Liverpool V Leicester 2003 - I just had to put on record my feelings following my visit to Anfield on Saturday.
I went with my two sons and the wife but we could only get two tickets for the game. I insisted the boys used them with the self-sacrifice only a father would understand. They are, after all, the future heartbeat of the club. We saw the boys to the turnstiles and bade them a goodbye and wished them a good game and then my wife and I spent some time walking slowly around the ground. (I was soaking up the atmosphere while she wondered just when her shopping trip would start)
We visited the Hillsborough Memorial and, as usual it was bedecked with scarves and mementos of fans paying their respects. There were several bunches of flowers and accompanying cards. We read them as we paused in front of the red marbled edifice for a time. One was particularly moving.
It commemorated the birthday of one of the boys who had died that awful day in Sheffield. It was a birthday card from his mother. It simply read:"You would have been 32 this week. How I love and miss you still.Happy Birthday, my beautiful Son." Beside the card were two laminated photographs clipped together defiantly keeping out the autumnal drizzle. One was of a baby and the other of a fresh faced young man of approximately eighteen summers. They were of the same man and boy who had lost his life following his passion in the support of Liverpool Football Club.
We had just said goodbye to our beautiful sons (one aged 18 and the other 14) and saw them off into a football match. They were excited and full of anticipation. We were left behind, happy for them, pleased that they had had an opportunity to attend the game and looked forward to seeing them again soon after the match when we would be regaled with their accounts of the experience. In that moment of reading the card written by a grieving mother, of listening to the roar of an excited crowd inside the ground and of waving goodbye to the flowers of our youth, we both felt the same leaden heartbeat of the mother who had lost her son.
We were deeply moved and clung to each other in a reassuring embrace. While we took some deep breaths and stepped back from the shrine, I looked with fresh eyes at the activity around the monument. Many Leicester fans paused respectfully and read the array of names. They were joined by Liverpool supporters and a hushed conversation sprang up between them, made comrades by the terrible event etched into the marble. Other fans wearing red who had obviously paid homage on numerous occasions rushed past but not without a revered nod of appreciation. Several made a point of touching the cold marble slab in passing rather like the players used to do so religiously of the "This is Anfield" sign in the tunnel.
We had drunk deeply at the well of human emotion. A well whose waters encompassed so many conflicting emotions of fear, love, tenderness, grief, compassion, respect and the surge of feeling part of something important in the lives of so many. It is a bitter-sweet concoction. How sweet it is to have had so many loved ones in our midst; we must always value what we have, and how bitter to have lost them so wantonly at the capricious decision to open those doors at the Leppings Lane end.
As far as we can accompany those left behind and grieving, I hope that they do feel that they will never walk alone. It's the only assurance we can give to that mother left with the warmth of her memories of her beautiful son.

God bless you.

There are some Reds out there who don't know that Ray Kennedy has been suffering from Parkinsons Disease for over 20 years. I only found out about this when I read this on RAOTL a few years ago.http://dspace.dial.pipex.com/bob.dunning/where13.htm.
Ray Kennedy
This picture and article appeared in 12 May, 2001 Cup Final edition of 'The Mirror'.
'Make the most of your big day, life can change at any minute'
by Simon Bird.
Ray Kennedy
THE memories of golden years with Arsenal and Liverpool still burn brightly in Ray Kennedy's eyes. :
Triumph was never far away during his illustrious career .As a teenager he helped Arsenal to FA Cup glory and their famous 1971 Double. And his determined midfield battling anchored Liverpool as they conquered Europe and collected medals at will. But today courageous , Kennedy is a shadow of the giant who strode football's greatest stages bringing , trophies to Highbury and Anfield.
He cuts a tragic figure as he bravely fights the ravages of Parkinson's Disease, living alone in a bungalow in the Tyneside coastal village of New Hartley.But Kennedy , 49, is refusing to give in. Cup Final day is still a big event in the Kennedy household:
Once he proudly marched up the Wembley steps to lift the FA Cup, but today will be a triumph if he is well enough to get out of bed to watch the two clubs he loves on TV. Kennedy's fight against Parkinson's puts the losers 'tears and winners' hype of Cup Final day into stark perspective.
For his story is a reminder to today's millionaire stars how quickly and drastically life can change. And it's a warning to sulky prima donnas that there is more to life than money, medals and the next big contract. This forgotten hero shows no bitterness, only joy, as he proudly plays a video of his greatest goals and medal winning performances.
He loses balance as he clambers off his sofa and staggers towards the television. And these days even pressing the button on the remote control is a struggle. As he watched film of himself scoring 30-yard spectaculars, he admits: "I can't believe that is me. I look at myself now and wonder how I did it and what this terrible disease has done to me."
But Kennedy is not after pity or sympathy. He soldiers on, an inspiration even now as he fights a battle he can't win with good humour and honesty. Old team-mates, including best pal Jimmy Case, Charlie George and George Graham, keep in regular touch.
But at times, Kennedy admits to feeling cut off from his old friends and the footballing life he enjoyed. "I would just love to be in Cardiff watching but I couldn't trust myself," he said. "I could be having a falling over day and I'd hate for people to see me like that.
"I can't make any plans like going to watch football live. I just hope I'll be having a good day and able to catch it on television. It's just so frustrating. I wouldn't wish it on anyone.
"I take 29 pills a day to control the symptoms, sometimes up to 50. The side-effects are awful. That's what I can't deal with. I can't stop myself jumping around or get my balance right. Some days I'm not too bad and I can get by. But then there are times when I just have to stay in bed knocked out by the pills. It's difficult to get the right combination:'
Last week Kennedy spent four days in bed unable to get up, but was yesterday well enough to look forward to the football highlight of his year "I'm like a kid," he said. "I'll try to get sat down for 11 am and see all the build-up, if I'm having one of my good days.
"It is impossible for me to choose between the two clubs. I love them both. It will be great to see either of them win.It is about time someone else won a Cup.He didn't realise it at the time. but the onset of Parkinson.s hit him during the last spell of his trophy. You get a bit sick of seeing Man United clean up."
As a 16-year-old, Kennedy was plucked from New Hartley's junior team and given his big chance with Arsenal. He went on to play 17 times for England, won five League Championships, three European Cup winner's medals plus FA Cup, UEFA Cup and European Super Cup medals.
Later he became a Bill Shankly signing at Anfield, and went on to win every medal apart from the European Cup Winners' Cup. He didn't realise it at the time. but the onset of Parkinson's hit him during the last spell of his career, at Swansea. Fetching a picture from his sideboard, Kennedy proudly tells of his meeting with Mohammedl Ali, another sporting great to be struck by Parkinson's. He would be too modest to admit it, but he's a fighter in his own right.

It truly is heart-breaking to read that Ray has had to sell all his European medals.

Re: Liverpool V Levski Sofia

I didn't know about Ray Kennedy, and it really does put things in perspective. Your heart goes out to him. Tough times for some Reds, as McAllister's wife is ailing as well. God Bless.
