This might well have been discussed before, but as a new member I thought i would kick it off anyway, or re-discuss it if its already been discussed before.
Ive been supporting the club since about 76. Born in morecombe of a scouse mother so was given a liverpool shirt when i started school and told to wear it. Grew up in london and moved to cornwall as a kid, and no relatives now in liverpool so never been to anfield, and been restricted to watching on tv, radio, internet (but still managed to see every game in the last 3 years), but now living in sunderland so its on the list for this year.
But anyway, obviously a lot of memories, listening to european games with the radio hidden under my pillow as a kid so mother didnt know i was still awake, putting a duvet over my telly in the early 80's so she couldnt here the buzz of the valves, Heysel, Hillsborough, Kennys Double and his goal to win the league, Istanbul. All brought different emotions. Istambul i dont think i cheered, or even spoke for an hour afterwards I was in such shock. Hillsborough like most people the family knew people who lost their lives that day.
But the greatest day for me, the semi final win over barcelona in the Eufa cup. I dont know what happened, but when the final whistle went, i collapsed on the floor and for one of the few times in my life just cried and cried for perhaps half an hour. For me that was just the moment that we were back. After everything that had happened over the preceding 15 years, Heysel, the European ban, Hillsborough and everything else. Finally we were back in a european final and we were finally back after far too many years. It was like the burden of the previous years had somehow to a certain degree been lifted, although obviously some things will never be forgotten.
But anyway, maybe a bit emotion but [oops] it, its LFC, its one of the few things I do get emotional about.
Would be cool to hear other peoples favourite moments supporting the club.
