Anfield Hillsborough match LFC Echo Radio City

I got over my blind terror to play at Anfield last night.

I managed most of one half and managed not to make a complete fool of myself as the Echo beat Radio City 5-2.

It was an absolute privilege - to go into the players' lounge, to shower in the dressing rooms, to walk down and out of that famous tunnel under the This is Anfield sign.

I realise most diehard reds will never have the opportunity to do what I did last night and it makes me very humble.

What strikes you most is the sheer size of the pitch - so wide. And the quality of the playing surface where every ball runs true. A far cry from the cratered mudbaths of the Consett Sunday League (Second Division).

It was a night I shall never, ever, forget.
