Football: The Sweeper - My team Craig Charles Liverpool
Comedian, on tour with "Still live on air".
"I used to go to the Melwood training ground and get autographs. I had Kevin Keegan's 15 times. I'd love to have him at Anfield. My first game was Liverpool v Middlesbrough. We won 2-0 and Souness had a big fight with Jimmy Case. The first time I went to the Kop I hit my head on a barrier and got knocked out. The crowd carried me to the front where the Red Cross were. I got a brilliant view. The current side is terrible, no consistency, no spirit. I'm glad McManaman's going if he doesn't want to be at the club. Fowler's my favourite. I think Matteo and Carragher could come good, but Babb's got to go. The 1960s kit with the hooped collar and the big proud Liverbird, was the best."
