“What I loved about the city was for those two games that we played each other during the season, everything would stop. The affect it would have on families that are red and blue…it’s crazy. It’s emotional, it’s such a volatile environment to be in, and I loved it. The only way you can upset a crowd, especially at Anfield, is by scoring. It’s the best feeling ever. Anfield, Goodison Park, the derbies, it’s all about fire.”
