Quote of the day
Here's the deal: my father was born in Everton, my family are officially Evertonians, so if it comes down to a derby match or a crunch or an FA Cup final between the two, I would have to support Everton. But a great thing happened to me when Kenny Dalglish was leading the Liverpool team, and we had a concert in Wembley Arena. I always said to my promoter: 'If we don't sell out all the seats, go out on the street and give them away. Ring your relatives, I don't care, just fill the place.' And I opened this concert with Wings and I noticed right in front of me - on the second or third row - a whole line of empty seats and I thought: 'I'll kill that promoter!' It's just so demoralising.
After the second number, a whole group came in, crouched down to not cause a fuss, and it was the Liverpool team led by Kenny. They were all in light grey suits, white shirts, red ties and they looked really cool and I got a bit of a friendship with Kenny and I thought: 'You know what? I am just going to support them both.' Because it's all Liverpool and I don't have that Catholic-Protestant thing. So I did have to get special dispensation from the Pope to do this but that's it, too bad, I support them both, they are both great teams. But if it comes to the crunch, I'm Evertonian.
That makes me feel good, and i don't even like the guy.
Just a nice little story, that ends in the blue side of Liverpool triumphing over the dark side.
Class.
Although of course all the other Beatles are/were reds, especially the dead ones who can't come out and say otherwise of course!!
