BY GEORGE IT WAS FINE AND DANDY

GEORGE GILLETT, the new co-owner of Liverpool, stood alone on the front row of the deserted directors' box at Anfield half an hour after the game had ended.

When he saw Steven Gerrard walking down the touchline, he pressed the red button on his mobile phone and took it away from his ear.

"Congratulations," he shouted to the Liverpool captain, who smiled back up at him. Then Gillett put his hands together and gestured as if to say he was bowing down to the man who was his new god.

A few of us went up to speak to Gillett a couple of minutes afterwards. He couldn't stop smiling. "That," he said, "was like nothing I have ever heard or felt."

So welcome to Liverpool, Mr Gillett and Mr Hicks. I guess even American billionaires don't get to witness too many sporting occasions when the atmosphere is as intense as it was at Anfield last night.

Gillett and Tom Hicks had chosen to make last night's match against Barcelona their first since they bought the club.

They chose well because they got an idea of what they've really bought. They saw more than figures on a spreadsheet and income projections.

They saw a group of fans and a famous old stadium who, together, can still produce the kind of spine-tingling chorus no other club in Europe can match.

When Yellow Submarine played over the loud speaker system just before the kickoff, they may have had a sense this city still hums to the beat of its twin cultural icons, The Beatles and Liverpool FC.

And when the crowd belted out You'll Never Walk Alone, they laughed in awe. "Did you see the smile on my face?"

Gillett said afterwards. And inside in a corridor one of the Americans' entourage was beaming in wonder. "Did you see the look in Tom's eyes?" he said.

So the new owners have got an idea now of what a great night in Europe means on Merseyside.

If they watched the performances of Jamie Carragher and Gerrard, they'll understand, too, how important local pride still is to this club even in the days of raging cosmopolitanism.

This was quite a way for them to say hello, taking their bow on the night when their new acquisition knocked the holders out of the Champions League.

Their team might have been clinging on at the end, but cling on they did, and the fall of Barcelona by the banks of the Mersey marked a shift in the balance of power in European football.

It spelled the end of one reign and, perhaps, now Hicks and Gillett realise what it is they hold in their hands, it may have signalled the beginning of another.
