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.
On This Day – 3rd July 2007
Fans favourite Luis Garcia (“he drinks Sangria…he came from Barca to bring us joy. He’s 5 foot 7, of football heaven, please don’t take our Luis away!!”) leaves Liverpool to rejoin Atletico Madrid. He joined Liverpool in August 2004 as one of Rafa Benitez’s first signings for £6m. He not only went onto become a […]
On This Day-2nd June 1957
Today’s Match Of The Day pundit and former Reds classy centre-half, Mark Lawrenson was born in Preston. He signed for Liverpool from Brighton for £900,000 in 1981. Lawrenson would go on to win many honours while at Liverpool, including and perhaps most significantly, the European Cup in 1984, when Liverpool beat Roma in their own […]
Happy Anniversary-Istanbul 25th May 2005
Was it really 8 years ago? Where has that time gone. Like so many Liverpool fans today I have swapped “Happy Anniversary” text messages as we all remember that sensational night at the Ataturk Stadium in Istanbul. Mind you, let’s not forget the 1977 European Cup Final as well as it is the anniversary of […]
14th March 1995
I remember this game as well – Liverpool 2, Coventry 3. Peter Ndlovu, the Coventry striker, ripped Liverpool’s defence to shreds that night. Coventry were 2-0 up at half-time through two Ndlovu goals. Jan Molby, in his last appearance for Liverpool before leaving to take over as manager of Swansea, pulled one back with a […]
14th March 2009
Who could forget Fernando Torres five figure goal celebration salute after equalising. Who could forget Steveie G kissing the camera after his goal had put Liverpool 2-1 up. Who could forget the look on Nemanja Vidic’s face after the referee quite correctly showed him a red card – “what!!, you’re sending off a Man Utd […]
13th March 1982
Liverpool retained the League Cup at Wembley quite comfortably when they beat Tottenham Hotspur 3-1. Two goals from Ronnie Whelan and another from Ian Rush ensured that Liverpool became the first team to retain the League Cup since Brian Clough’s Nottingham Forest, after they beat Liverpool then Southampton in 1978 and 1979. Although Spurs went […]
12th March 1921
Future Liverpool backroom Boot Room graduate and LFC manager, Joe Fagan was born on 12th March 1921. Although he wasn’t manager for that long a time – 2 years, but having said that, a Chelsea manager would probably get a testimonial if they managed 2 years – Joe Fagan packed plenty into his time as manager. […]
24th June 1967
Liverpool sign goalkeeper Ray Clemence from Scunthorpe United for £18,000. He took over as number one from Tommy Lawrence and he went to play in all but six games in an eleven year spell. In his time at Liverpool, Clemence went on to win a host of awards including three European Cups and five Division […]
12th May 1984
Liverpool draw with Notts County 0-0 at Meadow Lane as Southampton draw 0-0 with Birmingham City at St Andrews, meaning that Liverpool won the Division One title for the third consecutive season. Liverpool had effectively won the title on 7th May when they beat Coventry City 5-0 at Anfield, a win that ensured that Liverpool […]
