Hi, Mark. A very enjoyable listen. Loved hearing the Chris Lawler story once again and great insight from George into the LFC of the sixties. Coincidentally, it also appears we both watched our first game from The Kop ‘Pulpit’ (which I never knew it was called). Mine was LFC 4, Ipswich 2 in November 1973. I’ll never forget the first time I laid eyes on the green of Anfield, and how I’m now so lucky, like yourself, to these days stand next to it on a regular basis.
