Was reminded today that this past weekend saw the 50th anniversary of the FA Cup final between Liverpool & Newcastle, which the former won 3-0 ⚽️
Which in turn reminded me that I have an original programme from the day – I didn't go, but someone I knew did & they gave me this immediately after 🤷♂️
For some reason, I think it might've been my dad, but then why didn't I get to go ... 🧐
@markmccaughrean This touched a nerve too. My father exclusively smoked No.6 until he gave up in the early 70's... But my angst comes from my Grandad always sending me "up the road" to buy him a packet of 10 filterless Woodbines at the newsagent and to use the change to buy whatever sweets(*) I wanted.
In modern terms, I was a sugar-addicted, pre-teen mule of nicotine and assorted carcinogens.
Oh, and Larry Lloyd grew up across the cul-de-sac from his house.
Still not playing with the flow that was so lovely to watch earlier in the season but a well taken, necessary win for #lfc. They looked less laboured and disjointed than the last few games so #Klopp's team selection is vindicated.
We’ve not done this for a while, but if you’re a Liverpool fan please share this post and please all follow each other and help grow this #LFC family on Mastodon!
