In February 2015, BBC journalist Stuart Flinders was in Liverpool asking passersby about the 1967 Merseyside derby. By chance, he stopped Tommy Lawrence, unaware that he was the former Liverpool goalkeeper who had actually played in the match.
When asked if he remembered the game, Lawrence smiled and replied, “I do, I played in it.” The exchange quickly went viral, charming fans with its mix of humility and perfect timing.
Lawrence, affectionately known as “The Flying Pig,” died in January 2018. The moment endures as a much-loved piece of football folklore, capturing the magic of football’s shared memory.
