Hello and welcome to a special Liverpool Blood Red podcast with me Ian Doyle.

This is a very, very short one we're doing an unscheduled because something's happened and

it's the retirement of a Liverpool legend maybe so we say's a great that's I can't

I can is a better way put on a de coit joining me today are not our full-time

Liverpool reports are both home and away James Spears he's decided not to join us.

He has.

He has.

He has. He's working hard elsewhere in the newsroom, sure we say.

And lying.

Instead, with me, we've got our LFC editor Andrew Kelly. Hello Andy.

I am. We also got Christian Walsh.

Hello and Neil Jones.

Hello.

if you have to sort Dirk Coate Anfield career Andy how would you describe it?

Phew I mean what songs are up for me was the very first moment he took the pitch

do you remember when he came on West Ham as a substitute and for people who are

in the wrong side of 40 like I am we used to get a comic called Hot Shot

Hamish he was in Roy the Rovers and Dirk reminded me of Hot Shot

Amos when he came on to the pitch.

Is that something because of his hurt?
