Back in 1989, when Liverpool won the FA Cup against Everton, something very special happened that I’ve never forgotten.
After the Hillsborough disaster, all the families were invited into Anfield. We got to know Roy Evans, who was part of the coaching staff at Liverpool under Kenny Dalglish. Over time, we became friends with Roy and his lovely wife, Mary. They would often come and visit us and see how we were getting on.
I had put a verse in the Liverpool Echo for my Dad before his funeral and It went something like this:
“I hope they play that game, Dad,
and get to Wem-b-ley,
and win that cup with all their hearts, for you e-speci-ally.”
On the Saturday when Liverpool won the FA Cup. The very next day, on the Sunday, I went to the cemetery to visit my Dad’s grave. I remember telling him that Liverpool had won the cup.
When I drove into my mum’s close, I could see loads of children gathered around my mum’s house, and for a moment, I felt this sudden panic. But as I got closer, I noticed Roy’s car parked outside — and then I saw my younger brother standing there holding the FA Cup! 😍😍❤️
When I went into the house, Mary Evans said to me:
“Roy and I read your verse in the Echo. When we arrived back at Anfield on the coach from Wembley. Roy asked Kenny if he could take the cup to a family. Kenny agreed, but he said, ‘For God’s sake, don’t lose it — and make sure you bring it back!’” 🤣🤣🤣
Mary was such a lovely lady, and Roy Evans is a true gentleman.
I remember thinking about my Dad that day, imagining him looking down from above 🌈 with the biggest smile on his face.
I don’t think many people know this story, and it’s one that I will always treasure. ❤️⚽️🏆
