Super Carl the Anfield Steward

Big Carl is one of my favourite stewards. With the help of Bootle Jan I mustered the courage to ask for a photo. Carl obliged right away.

A thoroughly nice man and an integral part of what makes Liverpool the greatest team in the world.

Carl's my personal minder for Sparta Prague. He said: "I bet you wish you were photographing with Pepe Reina."

There is no way I was going to disagree.
