Good Times, Bad Times

Jason Evans, 27, has been a fan of Liverpool Football Club since he was five. He told us about his experiences.

1. R: _____________________________________________

J: Well, it wasn’t really an automatic choice. There’s always a lot of tension between us in the family when the two local teams play with each other. My father and my older brother support Chelsea, but I support Liverpool.

2. R:______________________________________________

J: I remember watching Chelsea play with Liverpool with my dad on TV at my uncle’s house a few weeks after my fifth birthday. They were both wearing their Chelsea team shirts – and were getting more and more depressed as the game went on because Liverpool were two goals up by half-time. And I just loved the way the Reds played that day. I remember jumping up and down with joy when they scored the first goal. Then my dad told me that I was cheering for “the wrong team”. But I swore to myself that one day I would become a Liverpool player myself.

3. R: ______________________________________________-

J: I played in the school team for a few years. I was only the reserve goalkeeper, so I didn’t often get the chance to play in the competitive matches. But I’ve never played for a serious team, no. Then, when I was about twelve, I won a swimming competition, and I’ve been concentrating more on my swimming ever since.

4. R: _____________________________________________

J: I buy a season ticket every year, and I go along to all the home games. And whenever I can, I travel when we play away from home. I read the team’s website regularly, and sometimes contribute to a fans’ newsletter, too. Oh, and I wear red every Saturday, of course.

5. R: _______________________________________________

J: When we won the Champions’ League in 2005. That was amazing! I watched the game on TV with my mates. Three-nil down at half-time, then we equalised, ended up winning all on penalties. I was in tears when the game ended. I still can’t believe it!

6. R:_______________________________________________

J: I was going to go with my friend Nick to Cardiff for the FA Cup Final against West Ham. Our car broke down on the motorway and had to be towed away for repairs. I couldn’t get to Cardiff, and there wasn’t even a TV. Luckily, my girlfriend taped the game for me, so I could see it when I got home in the evening.
