Aim for the sky and you’ll reach the ceiling. Aim for the ceiling and you’ll stay on the floor.
Me having no education. I had to use my brains.
Of course I didn’t take my wife to see Rochdale as an anniversary present. It was her birthday and would I have got married during the football season? Anyway, it was Rochdale reserves.

Liverpool was made for me and I was made for Liverpool.
