There's such a great amount to Jurgen', 'Hendo's inconceivable' – Commentator Keith Costigan's Liverpool Life

Experiencing childhood in Ireland in the mid-1980s, it would have been Liverpool or Man United around then. I replicated my sibling constantly and he said he bolstered Liverpool as a joke – he was actually a United fan – however I said I'm remaining with Liverpool.

I watched them away at Aston Villa when they wore the all-yellow pack with the little red stripes. I think Rushie scored – he may have scored a cap stunt that day – and that Sunday in the paper they parted with a free shading photograph of Rushie in the yellow pack. I was snared, that went up on the divider and after that there was just one group for me.

Toward the finish of that year, I sat with my father watching Liverpool beat Roma in the last. I generally recollect Phil Neal scoring and Bruce Grobbelaar doing the legs. After that I was totally snared as a Liverpool fan.

I viewed a couple in pre-season, yet the one that sticks out is I went to Anfield in late 1986, and it was 6-2 to Liverpool against Norwich. They went 5-0 up and I recall the Norwich fans singing 'we won the completion 2-1', or something to that effect. I simply was entranced by the climate. I think Rushie and Paul Walsh got a couple.

When you stroll into Anfield, the environment, especially around then, was unimaginable. Liverpool were so all-overcoming at that point. To have eight objectives in your first game, and have Liverpool totally obliterate the resistance, was unimaginable. It's daily I will consistently recall.

I think I was with my childhood group and my father came too, however not every person was a Liverpool fan. You needed to manage a few people attempting to get at you saying Norwich were going to win.

Rushie was extraordinary, yet I recall Paul Walsh was exceptional that day. I thought he was this staggering footballer. He was the one player who truly stood apart for me similar to a top level player.
