Another reason to love Rafa

[friedk]

"Last summer, I was by the swimming pool and a kid was playing football wearing a Liverpool cap. He passed the ball and it came to me, so I tried to dribble it past him and we were playing for about five minutes.

"After we'd finished, his father spoke to him and said 'do you know who that is?' The kid says 'is it a Liverpool player?' and his dad replies 'no, it's the manager!'

"So after that he was with me playing football the whole week. He was the only one who hadn't recognised me and he was the one wearing the Liverpool cap."

The Real Bill Shankly book I have has similar stories to this about the great man.

His granddaughter says that when they went round for tea, they usee to be constantly interrupted by kids knocking on the door asking if Mr Shankly was out to play!

Basically, Rafa's saying the kid was a plastic fan; the only one pretending to be a Liverpool fan and he was the only one not to recognise their manager.

If we could play football like you can deliver a cynicism we'd be unbeatable.
