"A lot of Blues will hammer me for this, but when we were struggling and things were looking bleak, so many Liverpool fans would come up to me and say, 'Forget the rivalries online and all that, we don't want you to go down.' "They loved the rivalry, the banter, the derbies themselves, the pride in the city that was always evident. That really was en masse."

A British driver who injured more than 130 people by speeding his car into a crowd of Liverpool football fans during a championship victory parade in May has been sentenced to 21-and-a-half years. Paul Doyle, 54, rammed his minivan into the mass of fans in the city of Liverpool simply because he lost his temper, according to prosecutors. Last month, he pleaded guilty to charges including nine counts of causing grievous bodily harm with intent and 17 counts of attempting to cause grievous bodily harm.
