Had a total knee replacement last January the Monday before the Liverpool game, Much as I tried to convince others there was no way I was allowed to go to that game.
I did however get to the Everton replay at Goodison. Must admit that the stewards found me a fantastic seat pitchside and for a while considered using crutches for other future games
Bloody hell it was a long painful walk from where the coach was parked to the ground but managed to get back to "the local" for a few pints afterwards
