40 years ago yesterday we lost 1-0 in the FA Cup at Everton, so the teenage me would have been half asleep at work after getting home at about 6am after driving back and dropping people off. Back then there was no motorway and dual carriageway from here to Newbury, once you had got past the Hockley Lights it was single lane traffic all the way to Newbury, you had to drive through the town itself and out to the M4 where it was then dual carriageway to Oxford followed by more single lane roads right up to the M6 at Birmingham These days you can do Liverpool in 4 hours without much traffic, back then it could be nearer 5 1/2 | |
