From Red Star to Liverpool: One man's journey with both clubs

"My heart is split in two. But Liverpool have the bigger half."

Born and raised a Red Star Belgrade fan by his football-obsessed father, Cedomir 'Ched' Stankovic fell in love with Liverpool the moment he arrived on English soil in 1976 and first took his place among a throng of passionate Reds on the Anfield Road.

A Liverpool resident and adopted Scouser, 'Ched the Red' has now followed the club for more than 40 years.

He was at the Crvena Zvezda Stadium in his native Yugoslavia when the two sides last met, in the second round of the European Cup in 1973.
