Simple little things.

Go to a football match and not worry about the turnstile.

Am I going to get through this?

Going over to someone's house and being asked to sit down and not worrying about the furniture.

Just so many things.

You take for granted when you're, well, I suppose you wouldn't even know about it.

Yeah, they are.

I remember, I am a Liverpool fan, have been a Liverpool fan most of my life.

I never got to experience the Kop.

I was never in the Kop.

I was in other parts of the stadium.

But my first time at the Kop, I was at my heaviest.

I was 31 stone and I didn't realise how tight it was until I got in there and I had to leave.

I'd spent all of that money to go and see Liverpool take on Chelsea.

And I had to leave the stadium and go out and watch it on the screens out by the bar.

It was just devastating to Liverpool fans.

My first opportunity to be in the Kop and just, that has all changed now, thank God.

Well, I sat in the seat and my legs, because I had so much weight on my back, I was potentially bruised.

i don't know how to describe it but my legs were wedged up against the seat in front of me and tied together and as a bloke as you can imagine that's a fairly difficult position to be sitting in having your legs you need to do a little bit of manspreading within reason but i just couldn't sit comfortably and i just had to and i know there was there was a person either side of me as well and they weren't kind of enjoying the experience either because they have this big unit in between them

So I felt very uncomfortable anyway, and I just thought, you know what, I'll just go watch it in the bar.
