Just for Kiwi John

A few years ago a man knocked at my front door to advise me of some work that was being done next door. In friendly businesslike banter he asked, "are you a Claret, or a Blue".

Well, I just felt my back arch, I'd never considered either as an option, and wouldn't want to be tarnished with either brush. I heard a somewhat louder and prouder than normal voice reply, "STANLEY MAN, ME."

Bit of an epiphany for me, I was a mad Evertonian in my long lost youth, (the Harry Catterick years), but Stanley is something else again.
