25th May Istanbul And Rome Remembered
Today is always a special day in any Liverpool fan’s diary. 25th May. What a special occasion on not just one, but two occasions. 25th May 1977 was the day of our very first European Cup Final win. A 3-1 victory against Borussia Monchengladbach saw us lift number one. Or, as it was in Rome, […]
20th May 1989
Of course the year 1989 will be remembered for the Hillsborough tragedy above anything else. It is still something that is so vivid in the memory banks. For so many others as well. Football rightly took a back seat for a few weeks until such time the club and, more importantly, the families felt it […]
16th May 2001
On this day 16th May 2001 was another one of those “it was great to be there moments.” This was the day we completed a unique cup treble when we beat Alaves in the final of the UEFA Cup. Having previously beaten Birmingham City and Arsenal in the two domestic cup finals, we went to […]

On This Day 23rd May
On this day 23rd May we have mixed feelings regarding trophy success. First the successful news. On this day 23rd May 1973 we lost 2-0 against Borussia Monchengladbach in the second leg of the UEFA Cup Final. However, having won the first leg 3-0, we went on to collect the trophy.
On This Day 21st May
Just to show a bit of balance. The month of May has been quite a fruitful month for us in terms of “Here We Go Gathering Cups In May” generally. However on this day 21st May 1977 we weren’t so fortunate. In truth I remember it well. It was a horrible day. What happened on […]
