The Voice Of Anfield

by Jerry St Clair » 19 Aug 2011 16:52

George Sephton celebrating 40 years as Liverpool's PA announcer. I love this quote:

George Sephton The constant theme I get in letters and emails is that people enjoy coming to Anfield because they don't get the dross that they get thrust down their ears for 90 minutes before games at other stadiums.


"Back the boys and make some noise. Come on you splastics"

Is that second bit a quote from him also? Or was that you adding it in - I actually CRINGE every time our PA gives it the back the boys nonsense every game, its been going on for years but still as bad every time.

George would never say 'splastics'. Very old school.
