Anfield.
> Two weeks later Liverpool are 4-0 down to Man Utd with only 20

> When the player comes off the pitch he phones his mum to tell her
about

> "Wonderful," says his mum, "Let me tell you about my day. Your

> The young lad is very upset, "What can I say mum, but I'm so sorry."
> "Sorry?!" says his mum, "It's your fault we moved to Liverpool in
