Later Days
Ivor Broadis has lived in the same Carlisle semi since 1955.
After playing and coaching Ivor Broadis became a football journalist for 45 years. When Broadis arrived in the Anfield press box, Shankly marched in, gave Broadis a handshake, passed on his good wishes to him and left the scene. If hardness was typical of Shankly, recollection and warmness were also.
Ivor Broadis was stopped outside Hampden Park when heading towards Gretna's Scottish Cup semi-final in 2006 for being in possession of an offensive weapon, namely a vacuum flask. He'd four sandwiches, too. "Someone passing told the polis that I'd played at Hampden, against Scotland. He let me in on condition that I didn't drink the tea."
Now in his late eighties, he appears to be the third eldest surviving former England internationals.
