Calvin Ford wants to bring a new edge to Livingston FC — and he’s taking inspiration straight from the Motor City.
If you’ve ever walked through the tunnel at Ford Field in Detroit — home of the NFL’s Lions — you’ll see it right away: “Detroit vs Everybody.” It’s not just a catchy phrase or some motivational poster on the wall. It’s a way of life, a gritty, no-nonsense attitude that says, “We don’t care who you are — you’re in our house now.”
Ford is now hoping to inject that same spirit into Livingston. He doesn’t just want players showing up — he wants them playing like the world is against them and like they’ve got something to prove every single time they step on the pitch.
In a league where clubs often blend into one another, Ford’s vision is to make Livingston stand out — not just with tactics, but with tenacity. It’s about building a team identity that’s more than formations and stats. One built on pride, defiance, and the kind of fight that defines Detroit.
So while some teams might come out to polite applause and walk-ons, don’t be surprised if Livingston comes out with a chip on their shoulder. Ford’s bringing that “Detroit vs Everybody” energy — and he wants the rest of the league to feel it.
