85 minutes: Tuck scarf inside your coat; head for Exit; make no eye contact; dash for the coach; when safely on the coach pretend to act threateningly when Home fans "came round".

In those days Liverpool (& Everton) fans didn't need to prove themselves, and we always felt comfortable going into a Scouse pub for some good craic.

Things changed in the 70's as any decent trainers or branded tops were robbed from you. I remember many walking back to Lime Street in their bare feet. Young Scousers around the age of ten on every street corner wanting to mind your car for a pound and if you did not pay, you would come back to damage/brick through a window.

Horrible people - horrible accent and even today, Liverpool and Everton supporters must be the worst dressed supporters in the land with tracky bottoms from the original designs and still have those silly hair cuts!

I actually wanted Roma to win last night................
