Volume One: Heroes Haunt, People Pay Attention Chapter 79: The Soul of a Hillsborough (Fourth Update, Please Vote for Me)

When Mr. Dugar said he was going to take poor Mr. Mertz to Chris Buscombe, everyone else in the office was stunned.

Because they know the relationship between two people very clearly.

Mr. Dugar is a die-hard Everton player, and Chris Bascombe is the top reporter of the "Liverpool Echo" and the top Liverpool player in the newspaper. He talks to many Liverpool senior executives and stars. Good deals. In Liverpool, he is the most authoritative and well-informed person about Liverpool Football Club.

It's not often that warm-hearted nice guy Mr. Duggar gets into a fight with someone red-faced, but Chris Bascombe did just that.

He had once been very angry with Mr. Dugar.

Mr. Dugar never said a word to Bascombe after that incident.

To be honest that time, although everyone was a Liverpool fan, they all felt that Mr. Bascombe had gone too far.

It was Chen Yingxiong's second season after transferring to Liverpool. Everton faced Liverpool in a local derby at home. Everton once had hope of beating Liverpool, but Liverpool acted like a different team in the second half. Relying on Chen Yingxiong's two goals, Liverpool finally defeated Everton 3:2.

Perhaps because the game was too exciting, Bascombe was a little too excited after the game. He loudly praised Chen Yingxiong in front of Mr. Dugar, touting Chen Yingxiong as an unparalleled genius, and at the same time ridiculed Everton. This is the closest we have come to winning a local derby.

That time he completely angered Dugar, and Dugar had a fight with him. Of course, he also disliked Chen Yingxiong because of it. Chen Yingxiong would probably burst into tears when he found out: Damn it, I was shot even while I was lying down!

Anyway, everyone in the club knew that Dugar and Bascombe were definitely not friends. It was a very polite thing for them to turn a blind eye when they met.

But regarding Mr. Mertz's matter today, it was the best thing for Dugar to go to Bascombe. Because Bascombe, as the leading reporter of the "Liverpool Echo", has great influence, only through him calling for publicity can more people know about it, which can increase the chance of finding game tickets.

For the sake of a ticket for his arch-rival, Mr. Dugar was willing to put aside his prejudice against Scones and go to his enemy to ask for help. It can be seen that Mr. Dugar really wants to help Mr. Mertz find this ticket, exactly as he said.

Everyone in the office felt guilty for their previous slander and suspicion of Mr. Dugar. Compared with Mr. Dugar, they were really embarrassed. Looking at the backs of Dugar and the owner leaving, a group of people sighed again.

"Mr. Dugar is really a good man!" "Yes, yes! Such a good person is so rare nowadays."

"It's a pity why he is not our Liverpool player?"

"Hey, even if he is not a Liverpool player, he is still a good person! As an Everton player, he can still help Liverpool players like this. I think he is much better than those Everton players who only scold us. Got it!"

Chris Bascombe didn't expect that Dugar would come to him again, and he didn't expect that he would bring a Liverpool player with him. The last thing he didn't expect was that this Liverpool player came to him for a big deal!

Yes, for Liverpool fans, everything about the Hillsborough disaster is a big deal.

Not to mention that the person in front of me is a member of a family of victims of the Hillsborough tragedy.

That deserves more attention.

In the face of this major event, he didn't care to wonder why Dugar was willing to come to him. Dugar completed his task. Bascombe was definitely more useful than him in this matter. Although he was unhappy with Bascombe, But his brain is still calm. He knew that this was not the time for personal feelings and vindictiveness.

Mertz saw that Dugar was leaving and was a little anxious.

He was very grateful to Mertz, but he was afraid that after Mertz left, the ace reporter of the "Liverpool Echo" would not do his best to help him. Because when he saw Bascombe for the first time, Bascombe's face was not good-looking, and when he saw himself, he also seemed very impatient. In fact, he misunderstood that Bascombe's face was not good-looking. It was not for him to see, but for Dugar beside him.

He couldn't say it directly in front of Bascombe, so he could only look anxious.

Dugar understood what Mertz was worried about. He patted the old man on the shoulder and comforted: "Don't worry, Mr. Mertz. Although Mr. Bascombe sometimes likes to act big..." "Hey! " Bascombe was a little unhappy when he heard Dugar say bad things about him in front of others.

Dugar ignored him and continued: "But I can assure you that he is a real Liverpool player and he will do his best for your affairs."

"Yes, Mr. Mertz! I am also an old koper, and I can understand how you feel now. Please believe that I will definitely find this ticket for you!"

Bascombe is still confident about his influence in Liverpool and the city.

"Of course, I will definitely do what I promised you. I will activate the Everton football team to help you find it. Maybe the ticket was picked up by an Everton football team? I I have your contact Fang Lou, and if there is any latest news, I will definitely inform you as soon as possible." After saying that, Dugar turned and left.

Mertz, who was left behind, was very surprised. He pointed at Dugar's back and turned to ask Bascombe: "Is he an Everton footballer?"

Bascombe curled his lips: "Yes, a stubborn Everton player who can't understand the situation!" xx

In the "Liverpool Echo" the next day, in the citizen services section, Mr. Samuel Mertz's missing object notice occupied half of the page. Although the space was large, there was not much content. It was just a very ordinary missing object notice, but Because there is less content, everyone can see at a glance such as "Liverpool vs.

Keywords such as "Nottingham Forest", "April 15, 1989" and "FA Cup semi-finals".

Through these keywords, any Liverpool person who knows about the Hillsborough disaster can easily know what kind of ticket it is, and also know clearly what this ticket means to the Liverpool football player named Samuel Mertz. Say what it means.

On the front page of the "Liverpool Echo", there is a summary and link of a press release. If you follow this link, you will see an old Liverpool football player named Samuel Mertz on the fourth page. The story of losing his precious ticket after the local derby. The ticket was a relic of his son, who was tragically killed in the Hillsborough disaster 25 years ago. Therefore, this ticket means too much to this Liverpool player and is also very precious. Finally, reporter Chris Bascombe hopes that everyone can help search for it. If anyone has clues, they can also inform the newspaper or Mertz Sir, I would like to thank you very much.

The story appeared in Liverpool's No. 1 local newspaper, the Echo, and it quickly became public knowledge.

It only took one day for everyone in Liverpool to know that there was a Liverpool footballer who had lost his tickets for the Hillsborough disaster and hoped that some kind-hearted people could help him find them.

There are many Liverpool fans discussing this matter on the Internet and saying that they will pay attention to it near their homes.

The Echo quickly published the follow-up incident. This time it provided the seat number of Mr. Samuel Mertz who went to watch the game during the local derby, as well as his photo, so that the fans sitting there could help recall it. Take a look at whether there was such a person beside you when you went to watch the game, and also recall whether you noticed anything special on the ground at that time.

One day later, Everton fans were also mobilized. In a radio program dedicated to Everton fans, DJ Cruz Duggar called on Everton fans across the city to take action. Help this poor old Liverpool footballer.

"Although our two teams are mortal enemies in the same city. But in the face of the Hillsborough disaster, we are all from the same city. I hope everyone can temporarily put aside their hatred of Liverpool and help this poor old man find his son and leave it to him. At this moment, we are neither Everton fans nor Liverpool fans, we are all citizens of Liverpool!"

Cruise Duggar, incidentally, is Mr. Given Duggar's youngest son Soon, Mr. Samuel Mertz became an overnight celebrity.

In addition to the "Liverpool Echo", other media outlets contacted him, hoping to interview him.

Mr. Mertz refused at first. He didn't want to be famous now. He just wanted to find his own tickets, so the media's harassment made this traditional and conservative old man very troubled.

Mr. Dugar heard about this when he called to be concerned about the progress of the matter. He advised Mertz not to refuse interviews from the media, because only after the media completely hypes up the matter can more people know about it. , turned into a social event.

The more people who know about it, the greater the influence, and the greater the hope of finding tickets.

Although media hype is vulgar, sometimes hype can have a positive effect.

At this time, you should not reject the hype. On the contrary, you should actively cooperate and participate in the hype.

Mertz still trusts Dugar, even though one of them is a Liverpool player and the other is an Everton player.

But under such circumstances, isn't it more valuable and trustworthy that Dugar can still help him so thoughtfully?

The next day, he took the initiative to call those media outlets that he had rejected and offered to accept interviews from them.

Soon many media outlets reported this incident.

A search was launched across Liverpool.

Whether it is a Liverpool football fan or an Everton football fan, they are all affected by a ticket.

Because of this ticket, there is no red-blue battle in this city.

Chris Bascombe, a well-known reporter from the Liverpool Echo, gave the search a very sensational title.
