I’ve been a Liverpool fan since I was in primary school. As many of my friends supported Man United, I didn’t follow like everyone else. I suppose you could say it was my cousin Eric, who got me into following Liverpool. He was the only other Liverpool supporter in the family growing up, and I looked up to him quite a lot. So it was always a dream of mine to see Liverpool play in a live match. I almost got a chance when I was 16 or 17 but I wasn’t able to, but my chance came in September 2011. My uncle and cousin are both season ticket holders of Tottenham Hotspur and I got invited to go see Liverpool play them on the 18th September. I traveled over with my uncle Shaun and I can remember it just like it was yesterday. We were seated in the Spurs’ end, which I was okay with. I knew I couldn’t jump around celebrating if Liverpool scored. I can remember watching the teams training beforehand, passing the ball around, taking shots at the keepers. It felt amazing to see it in front of me. Then the lads went in and came back a few minutes later. The travelling Liverpool fans started singing “You’ll Never Walk Alone” and I started to get goosebumps all over. It was the first time hearing it being sung live, but only a few words in, the Spurs fans drowned it out with a Spurs chant. The whole ground erupted with song and you couldn’t hear the Liverpool fans anymore. The match itself was incredible to watch. Luka Modric scored an absolute screamer from outside the box after less than 10 minutes. That set the tone for the game. Liverpool were dominated all around the place. Emmanuel Adebayor and Jermaine Defoe ran riot up front for Spurs and the Liverpool players couldn’t handle them. Adebayor got 2 goals that day, Defoe the other. Martin Skrtel and Charlie Adam both got sent off for Liverpool also. What a mental way to endure your first Premiership game for your favourite club! Tottenham 4-0 Liverpool
