programme notes (for the
West Brom game at Anfield)the manager wrote: “I would like
to say what a privilege it is to
take the players to this amazing

Liverpool is rightly very proud of.”

time when those of us who are
extremely fortunate in our lives
can offer some support and
hopefully a little relief to kids and
families having a difficult time.
