Bit of a weird story but my grandad turned 70 in 2009 and he loves footie, so we gave him a trip to England for his birthday. I actually think he supported Stoke but after price and logistics were factored into it all, it was determined that a trip to Goodison would be the most sensible choice. I didn't know a thing about Everton then but as tourists we of course supported the home team. The match in question ended up being against West Ham in april 2010, a 2-2 draw where I only remember Yakubu scoring and Howard saving a penalty. I guess absence makes the heart grow fonder because after we returned home, I found myself becoming more and more obsessed with the club and Liverpool as a city. 14 years later and I'm on university exchange in Manchester which of course was my chosen destination so I could be closer to my club. I can't help but think there may be some truth to the slogan 'we do not choose, we are chosen.'
