Apparently Deacon at Powerline is an Everton fan. So a little purportedly true story for him.(To understand this you need to know that both Liverpool and Everton football teams come from the same area.)
One year Liverpool are in the FA Cup Final and one of the Royals is there to shake hands and generally wave and present the cup at the end. Next year, Everton make it to the Cup Final, same Royal on duty. Meeting the teams before the match she asks one of the True Blues ” So, just where is Everton?” It’s in Liverpool M’am.” “Really? That is interesting. Did you know that we had your first team here last year?”
Way too good a story for me to want to check it.
