My first shirt was a fairly obscure Liverpool one from the 1994/95 season i got it for my birthday. it was our third kit,  It was rarely seen gracing the pitch in top flight games, but i used to wear it everywhere, The  V Neck collar was fairly big -  and anyone who wore that away shirt was suitable prepared for adidas’ offering in the next season,  

What is your favourite football shirt?

1998/00 RONALDO #9 Brazil Vintage Nike WC 98 Home Football Shirt (S)

This was without doubt the toughest one. But I've gone for the 1998 Brazl shirt. The World Cup in that year was the first i remember and Brazil turned up clear favourites for the tournament, they had the best player in the world.

What is your favourite goal?

Again… a very tough one, I’ve split the question in two - whether thats cheating or not -but I've gone for favourite overall in terms of importance and goals that I love in terms of technique and skill. So my favourite goal

It was a choice between two goals from Steven Gerrard, both late in the game, both half volleys, both saved Liverpool. The one versus Olympiacos at Anfield on the road to the trophy in Istanbul and the one v West Ham in the FA Cup final. Martin Tyler's commentary makes it for me, he actually sounds like it knocked the wind out of him. If i had to pick one, it would be the FA cup final goal, but it is very close.
