A'Court, Alan The year is 1958, Alan had just won his first cap for England on a Wednesday evening against Russia. The following Saturday he is in the bus queue in Prescott heading to Anfield for a league game. The No.10 bus arrives and the stampede begins as the fans push forward. As Alan attempts to board, the bus conductor informs him the vehicle is now full and he must wait for the next one. Suddenly a voice from the top deck shouts down that he must board the bus because he is playing in the game that afternoon. Priceless !!
