About Frederick McCann:

So, who was the masked stranger? "Why, he`s the Lone Scouser" I was born on the 28th August 1946 in Walton Hospital, and like many other children born that year, was the result to the war in Europe ending. Then for the first few days of my life lived (because the hospital was there) in Liverpool, thus making me a Scouser. However, if I had been born in Bootle Hospital, I would have been a Bootle Buck. Still, by the time I was seven days old, had crossed the border on Breeze Hill and would stay in Bootle for the next 23 years. I had a happy childhood, apart from the fact my late father climbed inside a bottle, and for most of the next ten years, only coming out to father another two children. For the first five years of my life, we all lived in my grandparents house. A large multi floored house, on the top of Breeze Hill, with fantastic views out across Liverpool Bay. The Mersey then, was like the M6 (The major North-south Interstate in the UK for our American readers) today, with ships coming and going by the dozen on each tide.
