Hello and welcome to The Price of Football, the show that looks at the money behind the

beautiful game with me Kevin Day and Liverpool University's Keir and McGuire. How are you

Keir?

I'm good, we're having to record this on Tuesday night because I'm commuting to Liverpool

and back on Wednesday as well as doing a full day's teaching and that's in that's in the

middle of Storm Keir and I just hope my mother doesn't see how Storm Keir and his

spelt because when I was born I was supposed to be yeah my dad was supposed to go to the

Registry office and spell my name the Gaelic Way which would have been C-I-A-R-A-M. He

went to the two Eagles, got absolutely shit-faced, then staggered along to the Registry office,

couldn't remember how to spell it and that's how it's felt the way that it is, much to the

annoyance of my mother for the last 60 odd years.

But she'll be so proud Keir and if she doesn't see it written down it'll be fine because

she'll be at home in the old country listening on the radio that's Storm Keir and as you

know, finally they've recognised my son, they've named him Storm after him.

Razor Ruddock tells a story and I hope it's true that his daughter, one of his daughters

is called Pebbles and everyone grew up calling her Pebbles thinking that it was a lovely nickname

and it turned out that Razor had actually put Pebbles down on her birth certificate and

she was 16 before he had the courage to tell his wife, no officially, I know what's

Pebbles was, she was applying for her first passport.

I hope that's a good story, so we're recording on Tuesday Keir and it's Halloween so we're

middle aged men so you might hear strange bumps and noises anyway, that's what happens

when we get out of the chair.
