Partridge said: I followed Man Utd as a boy but all that goes out the window when you get older and join another club I suppose.
"I supported them purely because my dad did and, like most boys, I just followed suit. Over in Ireland it is either Man Utd or Liverpool.
"Liverpool have got a big match tomorrow which I will be going to if we get the day off, but I have planned to go and hopefully they can get the first trophy for a while.
"It's a Cup Final and you can never tell. Form doesn't come into it on the day and player for player, I think Liverpool can match Manchester United.
"I'll be cheering the lads on all the way from the terraces with the fans which should be a great crack. It gives you another perspective seeing the fans' passion and all that, and makes you realise what they are feeling when you are on the pitch playing.
