“We just need to bounce back,” says Gordon Johnson. "Get back on home soil and we will be okay”.
Gordon, is the Chairman of Skelmersdale United F.C., a club founded 140 years ago, long before the post-war clearing of inner-city slums saw the inhabitants of north Liverpool emigrate en-mass to the sleepy Lancashire town.
Like the families who flocked there in the 1960s, the club has been displaced, and with nowhere else to turn has been playing its home games at the ground of their local rivals Burscough FC.
