Liverpool FC honoured by Miltons

Team LFC were honoured by a meeting with some of the elder Miltons yesterday upon their arrival in Holland for tonights Champions League quarter final against PSV in Eindhoven.

What a week for Steven Gerrard, an MBE from the Queen, then beating Pele to sports biography book of the year, and to top it all, he gets to meet Dadio Milton.

Not to be out done Alvaro Arbeloa gets in on the act as well.

Soon word got out that Dadio was about, then along came David Moores, probably needs to discuss investment opportunities with Dadio now he has some spare change.

Not all the players got to meet dadio though, here we see Sami Hypia trying to persuade Derren to get a meeting sorted for him as well.

Bolo Zenden even tried to play the “But I am dutch, surely that means I get first dibs” card, and tries to sweet talk Derren & Andrew at the same time. Good effort Bolo, but not good enough.

Last I heard the boys were on the way to the game (kick off in 10 mins!!!) and even Tom Hicks has been seen trying to get in with the Dadio, those cheeky Texans.

As mentioned previously, Dutch paper DeStem today featured the Red Miltons in an article building up to the PSV v Liverpool champions league quarter final first leg in Eindhoven tonight (19:45 kick off live on ITV yeehaa!)

So HERE it is, for all you non Hollandish speakers, I have asked for a translation (As I can only understand “Liverpool” and “Milton”) Enjoy.

In other news, Dadio Milton and Derren invaded the Liverpool arrival in Holland yesterday along with our pal Andrew, and obtained some nice pics, I’ll pop them up this evening.

Do you know our son Steve?

Monday Afternoon this week, went to pick Tobias up from School (12/03/07). As we walked across the playing field with him, two boys, same age as Tobias, but ones we did not recognise (different class) ran up to Tobias and said “Hey Steve, we are playing that rocket game”, they carried on running across the field, leaving me and Kasey to stare at a rather sneaky looking boy.

It appears he has been telling people his name is Steven Gerrard again :O) This happens on a regular basis, days out, holidays etc, so we got word to Steven Gerrard via Opa Arthur (Opa being dutch for Grandfather) and last Saturday morning, Tobias received a rather nice signed photo from Steven Gerrard especially dedicated to Tobias.
