Vicar Street was wedged with Liverpool fans tonight as part of the Off the Ball road show. The show was sprinkled throughout with Liverpool stardust. Gary McAllister, John Barnes, Phil Thompson, Ray Houghton and Mark Lawrenson dropped by for the evening.
McAllister's interview stood out as particularly entertaining, not least because of his extraordinary tale when asked what he remembers most about the 2001 UEFA Cup Final.
He teased the story by saying it was a memory of that game that 'haunts' him a little bit.
Robbie (Fowler) was warming up behind me as I was taking a corner. Just as I stepped back, something comes flying out of the crowd and just whizzes past my ear.
I'm thinking, 'Gee, what's that!?' Robbie was just stretching, he was ready to come on. So I have a glance and I think... 'Surely not?'
On closer inspection.... it was the biggest double dildo I've ever seen in my life. Somebody had thrown it from the top of the stand. And people ask my memories from the UEFA Cup!
And Robbie Fowler, cool as a cucumber, walks on the pitch and he flicks it up with his right and volleyed it back into the crowd.
The audience nearly died laughing.
You can listen to the rest of the interview here.
