50 years ago today our then 18-year-old mum (in hat) is pictured with her mate Linda at the UEFA Cup Final 2nd leg, at Borussia Mönchengladbach’s stadium, to witness LFC win their first European trophy.
She loved talking about this ❤️ 💙
Girls who used to travel away? Here's two young Liverpool girls at the 1973 UEFA Cup final in Germany. Love to know who they are, and hear their story. Anyone got anymore brilliant photos of Reds like these two? #Liverpool#female#seventies#UEFA ❤️❤️
#Bootle | We are proud to support the City Region towns bidding to become the UK’s first Town of Culture.
Prescot in Knowsley, Widnes in Halton, Bootle in Sefton, St Helens, and Birkenhead and New Brighton in Wirral are all hoping to claim the title, along with £3m to support a cultural programme.
Blending the swagger of a city and the community of a town, Bootle is changing - a creative tinderbox ready to ignite. With Salt and Tar pulling in huge headline acts and the town centre being transformed, it is time to step out from the shadows.
Good luck to everyone involved 👏
We’ll be shining a spotlight on the other contenders ahead of the announcement of the shortlist in July.
