Our top secret Anfield source states: "PAUL McCartney told me PERSONALLY that he was a red. I challenged him on the matter in front of Heather, Lillian McManus (Elvis’s Mum) and Elton John (I kid you not). Paul had always shown sympathies towards the Reds, but his ‘road to Damascus’ was a night at the Liverpool Empire and the 1978 European Cup winning team. Well it would have won ME over!”

No concrete evidence of Starr and Lennon, but rumours Lennon was a fan.

Harrison allegedly went to some Liverpool games and may well have been that way inclined…but it is sadly an area around which some mystery exists.

PS: Nowt to do with Football, but in an unreleased track from Spring 1967 by Ringo and John, there is a great spoken ‘nightclub’ voice–over saying: “Welcome to Edge Hill Social Club…” Nice little local reference.
