NESV's Joe Januszewski with John W Henry to his left and Thomas Werner to his right 300[LNB]LIVERPOOL FC supporters the world over reacted with fury last night and today to a column written for the Boston Globe by Alex Beam.[LNB]The column described Hillsborough as a riot (since amended) and Liverpool itself in far from flattering terms, as well as questioning what John Henry and New England Sports Ventures were doing investing in the club and the city.[LNB]Here, Liverpool FC supporter Sam Evans, from London but whose family live in Boston, offers his own reply to Beam's column.[LNB]-----------------------------------------[LNB] I HAVE been a Liverpool FC supporter since I was 5 years old, a young lad growing up in a different part of the UK, soon to fall in love with the humour, charm, character, and wisdom of the Liverpool people. My love for Liverpool is huge. I cannot begin to tell you or anyone else how strong the bond is that I have for the club, the city and indeed the people.  I woke this morning after my family, who reside in Boston MA, informed me of the most outrageous and misinformed piece of journalism that I have ever set my eyes upon. The (so called) article that was written by a member of the Boston Globe, was soon to be spread across all the Liverpool Supporters forums on the internet. And it has caused major uproar. Many of the club's biggest fans are today seeking action. The man that has to held accountable for his actions is Mr Alex Beam.
