th, but she told her carer she wasn’t expecting many cards on her birthday as most of her friends have died.
Now though, thanks to an enormous Facebook campaign by Liverpool fans, she has already received 4,000 cards – even though her birthday is still two weeks away.
Speaking this week, one of Liverpool-mad Betty’s carers, Lorraine Marshall explained what’s been going on.
“I can’t bear football, but she’s Reds mad. She watches every game, she even watched the whole world cup. She’s football crazy. She’s a lovely, lovely lady, and she loves her hometown of Liverpool,” she said.
“Betty has made cards all her life, and when I asked her what she wanted for her birthday, she said ‘just a nice card, I love cards’, and that’s how the seed was planted.
“She’ll be very surprised when she gets all these cards on her birthday.”
‘For the Love of Betty Musker’ Facebook page has over 16,000 shares and her retirement home is receiveing over 200 cards a day.
