LFC Anecdotes

[Brownie]

I fucking love them, me.

Just watching Aldo on the LFC channel talking about the '87-'88 season. We lost 4-1 away at West Ham and Hansen told the players not to bring their cars in the next day because they were having a 'dog day'. So they came in, had a bath and massage and then went the pub all day and got wrecked.

They didn't lose after that for ages!

He also said that when they went to the PFA Awards Dinner, they went up on the train. They had a few drinks and arrived late, and when they did so their table was behind the stage where the speakers talked. Hansen was fuming and told Gordon Taylor that they were leaving because they didn't wanna be looking at the speaker's arses all night. He said that they had five of the players in the team of the year, and the Player of the Year too in Barnes, so they would only stay if they got free drink all night!

Taylor said that was fine and Hansen called a waiter over and orderd five bottles of Bollinger! They drank it all night!

Fucking love those stories.

There's plenty of teams recently with good team spirit. Just look at Leeds? They used to love a good night out together; a load of ale at the Majestic and then time to hit the Indians.

Grobs used to greet trainees by scratching his cock, sniffing his hand and grimacing: "That's what happens when you fuck girls up the arse".

Gary Ablett brings his new bride into the Player's Lounge for the first time. Ian Rush immediately ducks his head down and whispers to player next to him "Oh fucking hell, I've shagged her".

Not sure if these are true. I like to think so.

Poor lass - who else has she had - the Nevilles??

This is a Bitters one.

My parents live in a house that was owned by Neil "Disser" Pointon. In a moment of madness, it appears he agreed to rent it out to Psycho Pat.

When my parents bought it there was red wine stains all the walls and the ceiling, the garden was all smashed up and the airing cupboard had holes in it where Pat had booted it in and scratched "I love you" onto it.

Speculation that his partner had tried to hide from him in there is welcome.

There was a great show on there with fans telling their tales of trips to European Cup finals. It was really good, the fans that spoke got across what it must have been like brilliantly.

My mate went to a Sportsman's Dinner were Gary Gillespie was the guest speaker and said he told a cracking story:

Gary Gillespie and John Barnes were rooming together on a pre-season trip and whilst a few of the lads were down in the hotel bar having a bevvy, Gary Gillespie was having a kip in the room. Anyway, he gets a knock on the door and it turns out it's Barnes, whose just been having a drink in the bar. Digger tells Gillespie that he's just pulled a bird from the bar and she's on her way up to the room. Digger then tells Gillespie to hide in the wardrobe until he's finished.

Gillespie then squats down inside this wardrobe with the door open a tiny bit so he can spy on Digger going to town on this tart. After a while, Barnes tells this girl to bend over, close her eyes and not to open them until he says so. The girl agrees and does so. Next minute, Barnes motions to Gillespie to come out of the wardrobe and mouths the words "take over from here" to him."

Barnes then proceeds to quietly get dressed and fuck off back to the bar whilst Gillespie starts doing this bird from behind whilst she's completely unaware that John Barnes has gone back downstairs for a few bevvies.

This one is Shankly related and not LFC but shows the measure of the man.

My lad was having a football birthday party which was organised by Derek Spence who used to ply his trade with the likes of blackpool & bury in the then 3rd div. Northern Ireland were playing England at woodison and Spence told us that before the game, Shanks came into the Ireland dressing room which was packed with the likes of Jennings, possibly McIlroy and other first division players.

Shanks went round and spoke to each of the Ireland lads and shook their hands. Now I personally know, Derek has a firm handshake. When he shook hands with Shanks, the great man said to him in that accent of his 'that lad, is a man's handshake.' Then, looking around at the first division players sat there, Shanks' gaze returned to Spence and he said 'not like the handshakes of these nancyboys around you today'!

Spence said he felt 10 foot tall and went out and played the game of his life.

What a motivator the man was.
