WHEN ANFIELD LOVED WINTER

“[ The applause] was longer and louder than normal,” said former referee Jeff Winter, recalling his last- ever match at Anfield back in April 2004. “Did they know it was my final visit? They are such knowledgeable football people, it would not surprise me.” Just everyone else, then. Winter was later caught short modelling a T- shirt with his arse visible in a mirror – a straight red offence if ever we saw one.
