Red. I wear a Liverpool jersey with #6 in honor of the late Emlyn Hughes. At one match v. Leeds United, my mate and I stood on the Spion Kop at Anfield. We also went to a couple of matches at Goodison Park v Everton (Blue). Y N W A.
When I was in high school, we had a player on our team, that we nicknamed “Keegan” because he looked just like Kevin Keegan (at that time he’d already left for Hamburg, though)
But I became an Everton fan because of Tim Howard, and when Landon Donovan went there. I didn’t want to take the easy way out and just pick a “Big Four” team.
Recently I’ve been watching a lot of YouTube videos about the 70s era....I am fascinated by Brian Clough (of course I watched “The Damned United”), He was just a great interview, although it’s sad in his latter years the demon alcohol got to him. What a shame he never became England manager.
Emlyn Hughes.....That’s the guy....On YouTube somebody posted episodes of “Matches of the 70s”, which goes through the highlights of each season and features comments by the players....It must have been produced in the 90s....Hughes was one of the prominent commenters, but I didn’t know he has already passed.
I got totally hooked watching them. Here is a sample link, you can find the others on YT easily.
