Spurs love affair endures but the Liverpool fans are something else
The agent to Ryan Moore and Jim Crowley on his top football grounds
Tottenham Hotspur (White Hart Lane)
I started going to White Hart Lane when I was seven and I've been going back for 50 years. I love it. My season ticket seat is six rows back from the pitch. When I'm watching I feel as though I'm part of the game. It's going to be much bigger in a couple of years time but for the moment it's a fantastic, intimate ground, certainly compared with some other venues. I always have a pie and they're good as well.
Liverpool (Anfield)
For an away supporter Anfield is the best place in the country to visit, in the main because the Liverpool supporters are wonderful. I always stop at the same wine bar for a drink before the game and the Liverpool fans are great with us. Everyone gets on well, no matter whether you're a home or away supporter. I also always make a point of saying a little prayer for those who died in the Hillsborough disaster. I've never once not seen flowers at the Bill Shankly Gates.
Manchester City (City of Manchester Stadium)
This is a great stadium to attend and the atmosphere is wonderful. The facilities are fantastic and away fans get a very good view from a section behind a goal, to the right-hand side. The stewarding is top-class, too. They can never do enough to help you. All football fans are loyal but Manchester City is one of those venues where you can tell how much their team means to them.
