I have always thought of Guardian as one of the better papers in England and my respect for it went up further.
I hope they forgive me for quoting this:
“It’s not about money or success… It’s to do with a philosophy and an attitude. Steve Heighway [a Liverpool star in the 1970s] called it ‘The Liverpool Way’. To play honourably and honestly, to give your heart and soul to playing for the club. And then at the end of the season, what will be will be.”
“Liverpool fans aren’t glory hunters – buying into some glamorous club that simply wins everything. We’ve got fans who were here with us through those long dark years in the 50s when we were a second-division club going nowhere. There was no glory then, yet the biggest attendance in the history of Anfield was in the early 50s.”
Gotta get ready for work, you can read it all here. A must do if you’ve ever wondered what makes the Liverpool fans tick (and more).
