1954

We look back in time to RAWK in 1954 when Liverpool Football Club unbelievably were relegated from the old first division. It also happened in the same year that Everton were promoted to the first division.

Today is a devastating day in the lives of all fans of Liverpool Football Club. We had to suffer the terrible days of the blitz, when our chippies were bombed all over the show. We had to suffer rationing, when all we had to eat was a bit of powdered egg, and bits of our ration book, seemingly made from the same paper they use for raffle tickets.

And today we lost the raffle of life.

When I had both of my legs shattered by falling shrapnel as a howitzer flattened my coal bunker, my pain was immense. When the doctor, cigarillo in hand, administered a whisky tincture to the terrible wounds I passed out from the searing hell produced by the receptors in my brain. I thought nothing could feel more terrible than those dark days.

But I was wrong.

Because today a bomb has gone off in my heart. A bomb dropped by the Nazis of modern football. A bomb produced by the hateful blighters at the daily periodicals. A bomb that has left this great club - Liverpool Football Club - in a crater of hurt. A crater of shame. A crater of pain.

But we shall return. This great club and its great fans. The greatest fans in the civilised world, will be back once again. To stare into the eyes of the great clubs. West Bromwich Albion, Wolverhampton Wanderers and the mighty Huddersfield Town. We will once again stroll into the privileged rich heartlands of England and come away with the 2 points.

Because Liverpool Football Club never give in. Even when our legs have been horribly shattered and deformed.

We'll meet again,
Don't know where,
Don't know when
But I know we'll meet again some sunny day
Keep smiling through,
Just like our fans always do
Till the Redmen drive the dark clouds far away

So will you please say "Hello"
To the fans that I know
Tell them I won't be long
They'll be happy to know
That as you saw me go
I was singing this song

We'll meet again,
Don't know where,
Don't know when
But I know we'll meet again some sunny day

We'll meet again,
Don't know where
Don't know when.
But I know we'll meet again some sunny day.
Keep smiling through
Just like you always do,
'Til the Redmen
Drive the dark clouds far away
So will you please say"Hello"
To the fans that I know.
Tell them it won't be long.
They'll be happy to know
That as you saw me go,
I was singin' this song.

We'll meet again,
Don't know where,
Don't know when
But I know we'll meet again some sunny day
