On This Day
On this day in Liverpool FC’s history is where we will relive some of the more famous events that have helped shape the history and fabric of our great club.
Nigel Clough
There are periods in football when certain players are coveted by a whole host of clubs. Many clubs would be clambouring for his signature. One such player back in the early 90’s was Nigel Clough. And on this day, 7th June 1993, he signed for Liverpool. It seemed at the time that all the top […]
A Day For Departures
As well as today, the 3rd June, being a “Happy Birthday” to the best club in the world, this same date also signalled the end for two club legends. On this day 3rd June also seems to have been a day for departures. Two huge legends of this magnificent club left on this day. Who […]
On This Day 2nd June
A week on and I’m still smarting. But getting there. Quite a few things happened on this day 2nd June in days gone by. Two birthdays, a new contract signing and a new player. First, the birthdays.
Alan Kennedy
In the aftermath of Saturday’s disappointing result against Real Madrid, why don’t we indulge ourselves a bit. Another trip down Memory Lane to this day, 30th May, to the year 1984. Alan Kennedy, aka “Barney Rubble” scored the winning penalty as we lifted the European Cup for the fourth time. We defeated AS Roma in […]

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 […]
On This Day 19th May
Into that “Gathering Cups In May” time of year again. What was it this time? Well, on this day 19th May 1976 we were gathering the UEFA Cup. Our opponents again were Club Brugge. They must have been sick of the sight of us in the 70’s!!! Unlike the European Cup, the UEFA Cup (now […]
Howard Gayle
It doesn’t seem that long ago when Howard Gayle was plying his trade for Liverpool. But here we are, on this day 18th May, celebrating Howard Gayle’s 60th birthday. Over the years there have been quite a few local Scousers who went on to wear the famous red shirt. Steve Gerrard, Steve McManaman, Robbie Fowler, […]
