“Red All Over The Land” is by the fans and for the fans and also gives back to the community. That’s why, on a windy Thursday dinnertime (lunchtime if you’re reading this in the south) towards the end of December, John Pearman, the editor of RAOTL, George Sephton (The Voice of Anfield) and I, went to The Church on Oakfield Road, Anfield. We were there for the annual Spirit of Shankly Christmas Dinner, which is a heartwarming event that brings together members of the Anfield community to celebrate the holiday season. Organised by the supporter’s union, Spirit of Shankly (SOS), the event aims to spread joy and support during the festive period and it certainly did that.

We were met by the chair of Spirit of Shankly, Paul Khan, who is a top bloke and he told us all about the event and many of the other things SOS is involved in. You can find out more about what they do and join SOS at their website; https://spiritofshankly.com/

The first thing that struck me when we got inside The Church was how everyone was getting stuck in to help. Peter Hooton, who you may remember as the vocalist and founding member of the Liverpool-based group the Farm was there, but not to sign autographs and talk about their top ten hits, ‘Groovy Train’ and ‘All Together Now’ or their number one album ‘Sparticus’. He was there in his role as a committee member of Spirit of Shankly and when I first saw him he was busy showing people to their seats.

It was fitting that Peter Hooton was there because he was the founding editor of ‘The End’, a music and football fanzine aimed at young, working-class readers. The End was one of the inspirations for John Pearman to start Red All Over The Land. Having Peter there, from one of the first Liverpool fanzines and John, who runs the only surviving Liverpool fanzine, made them cosmic bookends.

It was the second year in a row that Spirit of Shankly has organised the Christmas Dinner and making a return appearance was the comedian and actor, Ricky Tomlinson. I spoke to Ricky and he said he was there because he loves to be part of something that gives back to the local community.

There was plenty of entertainment laid on. A choir sang carols, James Walsh from the band Starsailor, did an acoustic set and the crooner Asa Murphy gave the afternoon a bit of class.

John Pearman went on stage to hand over a giant cheque for £4000 to Spirit of Shankly to help pay for the Christmas Dinner event. The money was raised at the Kevin Keegan night that Red All Over The Land held at Hotel Anfield on November 18th. John thanked everyone who contributed to that night with special thanks to Reagan, who had helped out with the raffle on the night and donated a special cushion she’d made which raised £150 in the auction. It was great to see her mum Vicky again, who had also worked hard during the Kevin Keegan night.  

We also met Sammy from The Community Shop in Anfield. They run the UK’s first social supermarket chain providing access to high-quality, low-cost food and household products. The Community Shop also got a donation from Red All Over The Land.

Thank you to John Pearman, Paul Khan and George Sephton for all you do for the fans of this amazing football club. 

As I was there with John, Paul and George, does that make me Ringo? If it does, I’ll take that because it was Ringo that sang, “I get by with a little help from my friends” and really, isn’t that what this was all about?

Kevin Keegan

01Dec23

“Have you seen Kevin Keegan IN REAL LIFE?” That’s what one of the two girls I met in the queue for the cable cars at Butlin’s Minehead said to me during our family holiday in 1974. They were from somewhere in the south of England and they weren’t even football fans but they got really excited when I told them that I was from Liverpool. That’s because, at the time, Kevin Keegan was Liverpool’s ‘pop star’ player. If he wasn’t selling you the ‘great smell’ of Brute, Sugar Puffs, Smith’s Crisps, Lyon’s Maid ‘Goal’ lolly ices (billed as the only ice cream for football fans), he was explaining the Green Cross Code or falling off his bike on Superstars.

Advertising endorsements aside, it can’t be denied that Kevin Keegan was, and still is, an absolute Liverpool legend. During the 1970s, Kevin was an integral part of the Reds team that won three First Division titles, the FA Cup and our first three European trophies. He became a fan favourite, appearing 323 times for Liverpool and scoring 100 goals.

So it was an honour to be asked by John Pearman, the editor of Red All Over The Land, to be the host at, ‘An Evening With Kevin Keegan’ at Hotel Anfield on Saturday November 18th.

It’s always a risk when you get the chance to meet one of your heroes. For 29 years I worked in radio and was lucky enough to interview a lot of mine and sometimes the real person didn’t live up to the image. I’m pleased to say that Kevin Keegan was every bit the star I’d hoped he’d be.

From the moment he arrived at Hotel Anfield, it was clear that he had time for everyone. Which was good because more than a hundred people had bought special, ‘meet & greet’ tickets. I doubt that anyone left disappointed because Kevin had time for everyone and signed as many of their personal items as they wanted, which took well over an hour.

After that, he was on stage in the Hotel Anfield ‘big top’ for his presentation, which included slides and film clips from his amazing career, including before, during and after his time at Anfield. He told stories about people he played for and with including Bill Shakley, Bob Paisley, Emlyn Hughes and John Toshack, and afterwards was only too happy to do an informal Q&A with the crowd of around 200.

As a special bonus on the night, there was also a very entertaining Q&A session with another 70’s trailblazer, Howard Gayle, Liverpool’s first black player. Howard was also brilliant, a true down to earth scouser from Toxteth.

Also in attendance on the night was the Voice of Anfield, George Sefton, signing copies of his excellent book and Paul Kahn from Spirit of Shankly, who talked about their Xmas projects for the Anfield community, which is what we were raising money for on the night. In the end, Red All Over The Land raised more than £3,500.

The auction lots and raffle prizes on the night were outstanding, including items signed by Kevin Keegan of course, a 1977 Rome jersey signed by the team and also things signed by Jurgon Klopp, Darwin Nunez, Luis Diaz and many more. 

Thanks to Steve Hales for marshalling the meet & greet, Andy Knott for donating a unique Kevin Keegan original acrylic (signed by Kev on the night), to Marie for your work on the raffle and the auction and a special thanks again to Reagan who made the raffle extra special and Reagan’s mum, Vicky, too. 

So another fabulous Red All Over The Land night at Hotel Anfield. The night coincided with the 28th Anniversary of Red All Over The Land, the longest running and only surviving Liverpool fanzine. Thanks again to John Pearman for all those years of the fanzine, that is for the fans & by the fans!

I know it’s a long shot but if those two girls from Butlin’s are reading this, the answer to your question is, “Not only have I seen him but I’ve met him as well, IN REAL LIFE!”
