Sorry i didnt mention my finest moment but it would have to be the 86 cup final when Rush sealed the double from Ronnie Whelan's cross v the :censored:

. I always remember that camera getting knocked over and Rush peeling away to celebrate. Classic moment.

my first real memories was watching in-frequent games in the early 80's, late 70's. I remember saying to my friends (much older than me) how much i liked Tottenham Hotspur. I got a pretty good smack to the back of my head and was told to support Liverpool or be excluded (at that age being excluded was like the end of the world).

I have never looked back.

(still got the same friends and they still support Liverpool)

1984, if i'm not mistaken. The match was against N-everton. We won, i didnt remember the score line etc. just remember we won it...from that day on, i'm officially red for life!

for me it was around 2000-2001, yet to see us winning the premiership as a Red supporter.

European Cup final '81. Born and bred in london and a family that dont really follow football so just the first team i saw on tv. Was only 5 but even then i remember the game. think dalglish was substituted but i remember Kennedy scoring. Ever since then been a red and a pain inthe a$$ to all my mates who are all manure goons or now cheatski.

Go to games when i can but in all honesty prefer the pub atmosphere.

Recent highlights are going to the Cardiff FA Cup final and seeing us win that and spending the Champs league final this year in liverpool.

i`ve been a red for about 25 years

i knew i was a when i was left crying on christmas day ( i know boo hoo ) i had wanted the red top that the players on tv had

yes mum the team from liverpool i had said!!!

but when i opened that present and a BLUE kit with nec on it fell out i looked at my smiling mum and said it was wrong and ran off to my room

from that point i knew i only ever wanted to be a red and nothing else would do!

best thing for me was taking my own lad up to anfield and seeing his reactions to everything we did that day, and we won 3 - 0 so was good for me too

i've been a liverpool fan for going on twenty years now. my earliest recollection is the 1986 fa cup final against everton.

started going to the games in the golden era that was the early nineties, just after king kenny had resigned and souness had taken charge.

Alright, no match to most of you here. I'm not that old but I've got about 8 years so far under my belt. I saw spongebob wearing a liverpool jersey, amazing and I wanted to get it but it was sellin for 24quid, oh well...

Summer 1977, I was 12 and my Brother was a dyed in the wool Leeds fan...... LFC had just signed Kenny and I was beginning to play the game a bit at school. I decided to be different to my Brother and chose The Reds.......... Through thick and thin I've been with 'em since

Magical.......!!! :cool:

God, for a second I thought you were being serious, then I realised the irony or sarcasm all but gets lost on a forum. Bloody horrible days they were. I remember sitting in class in school when a mate told me Souness was to be replaced with Evans way back in '93. If I knew then what I know now, I wouldn't have been so optimistic about it. It all just seems so distant and almost like a dream now. Makes you feel old, even though I can remember it like last year.

Since @1968 when dad used to make me and my brothers read out the football scores from the pink on a saturday night. All 4 divisions plus the Jocks. I vividly remember Liverpool winnng and always remaining in 3rd place, dad had to explain that was because Leeds and Arsenal also used to win!

First game 1971 FA Cup final. Cried like a baby.

Best moment: 1977 European Cup final.

Worst moment: Heysel. Shamed in front of the world, 37 families with missing dads, brothers and sons. Hillsborough of course, but Heysel was totally shocking on our big night. I didnt go to Anfield for 7 years after that.

23 years now a Liverpool fan, my grandad made sure that they were the team every member of my family supported (although my uncle Stephen defected aged 8 to become a manc lol). First real memory of anything to do with Liverpool was when i had been visiting my aunt Kathleen in Ostend Belgium In May 198 our ferry to return home was delayed as it took longer to get the Liverpool fans off the ferry, i just remember looking at them and thinking how they all looked like Ian Rush although i'm sure they didn't! I found out later of course that those fans were on their way to Heysel to play Juventus (terrible tragedy).

My best memory was at Anfield in 1989, the last game against Arsenal when Thomas scored and we lost the championship. Might seem an odd choice because we lost, but it was the last game i attended with my Grandad, he didn't want to go as Hillsborough affected him quite badly but i wouldn't stop nagging him and he took me, however he never went to another match again after that.

Worst moment(s): Sitting in the pub with my Manc uncle watching the 1996 FA Cup final, still cant believe that goal went in!
Seeing LFC in those cream suits at above match lol.
And Hillsborough, i was lucky, i got my grandad back, but so many others lost loved ones including a friend of the family who's cousin Gerard Baron was the oldest casualty of that horrible day. I was 11 at the time and believed men didn't cry, but seeing those heartbroken faces made it real to me and helped me to understand a little better. RIP 96
