A port city that exports footballers and music in roughly equal measure. Roughly a third of Liverpool's notable births play professional football, and most of the rest are guitarists, bassists, drummers, comedians, or boxers — the four export industries of a working-class English coastal town. There's almost no aristocracy here and almost no academy; the city's fame comes out of clubs and pubs and the docks.
