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 […]
Looking Forward
As disappointing as Saturday night was, let’s not take lose sight of the fact that we have taken another step forward in our development under Jurgen Klopp. So, looking forward there are many plus points to take on board. As a starter, how many fans would have taken a top four finish and a Champions […]
On This Day 25th May
Every Liverpool fan should know the significance of what happened on this day 25th May. I’m sure you don’t need reminding, but just in case you do. On this day 25th May represents two of our greatest days in our history. No doubt there will be many posts on this today. So, I thought I […]
On This Day 24th May
We currently a variety of new songs doing the rounds. What with “Allez, Allez, Allez”, the various Mo Salah songs and the “We’ve been to Hoffenheim…..” etc…etc…. to go with all the others we have, we have a lot. As we did also in other periods of our history. For instance one of the most […]
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, […]
Cup Final Tickets
Congratulations to all those that have now been informed and actually acquired their Champions League Final tickets. Although I qualified for the ballot I didn’t get one. No worries. It happens. Having been to the last three European Finals I can say that on the one hand it as an absolutely brilliant experience. However, on […]
Liverpool Clinch A Top Four Spot
Well, it turned out to be an anti-climax in the end didn’t it. What I mean by that is that in a previous post – see the post HERE – I mentioned that it is often characteristic of Liverpool to take things to the wire. Although it was to the wire in a certain respect, […]
