Phil joined Football Focus and a legion of reds fans in a fantastic afternoon of BBQ and free-flow drinks where supporters were given the opportunity to meet Phil, get autographs and ask questions.  Most memorably however, we were adorned with unique tales showing what it means to actually be part of one of the most celebrated football clubs in the world. The highs and the lows, what King Kenny would say in the dressing room, how Robbie Fowler used to prepare for a game etc. These are the kinds of moments that leave fans hanging on every word, and when Phil speaks, all you can do is listen.

The BBQ was a successful event, with Phil Thompson, synonymous with Liverpool’s success and heritage, able to engage with the supporters who share the same passion for the club that he does. It was a hugely enjoyable afternoon for all of us and gave a refreshing insight into the behind-the-scenes details of the Premier League that we’ve always wondered about but never known.

Jesper Blomqvist and Jason McAteer, so often adversaries in the premiership in their prime when they turned out for their clubs were in town to give fans the unique opportunity to see them take to the field once more and this time it was to be in local colours, no less.

Having reacquainted themselves with the nitty-gritty of the beautiful game it was soon time for the lads to actually meet the fans, where supporters were given the chance to not only meet their heroes but also compete against them in a spot-kick simulator competition. Old shirts were dusted off, many autographs were signed, and two tired footballing legends departed leaving a sea of smiling, satisfied fans behind them.
