I noticed this article in a recent Echo, might be of interest to Reds’ fans.

Pete, here’s a nice one for Evertonians. We need that bloke in the white( England) shirt playing for us until the end of the season. He’d save us from relegation on his own!

I think this topic has been discussed on here before. Some were for and some against.. They have colourised some historic football matches from the past . England getting hammered by Hungary in the 1950s is available on YouTube . I suppose the whole process will improve in time. I’ve been having a look at some of the old boxing fights from the past that have been given the same treatment . Colourisation certainly helps to brings some of them back to life. Was just having a look at the great Joe Louis v Tony Galento. If you are interested in boxing it’s worth a look. However, if they colourise the 1919 Jess Willard v Jack Dempsey World Heavyweight title fight, it is so brutal it would have to come with an X Certificate. Refs didn’t believe in stopping fights in those days!
