FOOTBALL: HOWARD AND SMITHY: Vandalism of statue a disgrace.Byline: HOWARD KENDALL/TOMMY SMITHI HOPE I speak for every right thinking Red when I condemn the unwarranted act of vandalism on Dixie Dean's statue.

From Kennedy, Souness, Dalglish and Hansen to Ball, Kendall, Reid and Bracewell, the heroes flow, not to mention the respective managers. So let's be proud of them all. Nobody can hold a candle to this city. Kevin O'Leary, Aigburth.SMITHY SAYS: It was an absolutedisgrace what happened. The peopleresponsible need a kick u p the backside BACKSIDE, estates.
