Best pressie this year was a bunch of Liverpool stuff my brother in law collected when he was over watching a match in Anfield.... Its a match programme, used ticket stub, and an official shirt with the prem logo from the gift shop.... I almost fell out of my chair when I opened it

I expected the Stevie G biography and got a motherload of LFC gear

Nice one, its always great getting a really good surprise.  Seems like me and you were the only one's santa visited ant?
