A mate and I were playing Subbuteo, or maybe one of those cheap tiddly-wink football games, (this is a little bit before Championship Manager...) when I was a kid - 6 or so I guess. One team was red, one team was blue. It was his game, and he was playing red - said he was Liverpool. I had to be blue - my mate told me I could be Ipswich Town. Can't remember if I already supported Liverpool or just thought that Ipswich Town sounded like a stupid name, but I remember my disappointment that the game wasn't mine.
Later, we got one game of football on TV each week - Sunday lunchtime - Game of the Week or something. I guess I was a few years older, and at that time Liverpool featured pretty often - especially remember Barnes and Rush. Used to always check out the results in the paper too.
