Some of the posts on the theme of “On This Day” may have seemed quite tame to some. I think every Liverpool supporter will agree that this is not the case with regard to on this day 10th August 1977. I would be amazed if there are any Liverpool fans wondering what did happen on […]

On this day 5th August 2009 was a very sad day indeed. Well, it was for me and many other Liverpool fans no doubt. It was on this day that fans favourite, Xabi Alonso, left us to join Real Madrid. He was indeed a big loss for us and a great signing for Real Madrid. […]

Billy Liddell

A very significant day in the history of Liverpool on this day 27th July 1938. This was the day we signed Billy Liddell from Lochgelly Violet for £200. No missing zeros. It was actually £200. On that day he walked into Anfield a 16 year old boy. By the time he left the club he […]

On This Day 25th July

With the squad we currently have, several fans are offering their opinions as to whether or not we need another striker. Also, of the strikers we currently have – which ones to keep. Give Sturridge a chance maybe? What about Solanke? Danny Ings has fought back well from serious injury – does he deserve some […]

Neil Ruddock

So far this transfer window has appeared to be a good one. Some really astute, quality signings it would seem. Finally we seem to be assembling a squad of real quality and real depth. Add having a great manager into the mix and committed owners (well done FSG for backing Jurgen Klopp), a brilliant stadium, […]

Champions League Qualifier

Maybe not what you would expect for the reigning European Champions to have to do. But, even though Liverpool won the trophy less than two months earlier, we had to play a Champions League qualifier – 2nd leg – on this day 19th July 2005. Certainly a far cry from the Ataturk Stadium in Istanbul.

Stewart Downing - Signed For Liverpool On This Day 15th July 2011

Stewart Downing

Kenny Dalglish certainly had his spending head on in 2011. After the departure of Fernando Torres in January 2011, Dalglish went on a bit of a spending spree. Andy Carroll and Luis Suarez arrived in January 2011 for combined fees of about £57m. All paid for by the sale of Torres, bar £7m. King Kenny […]

Fernando Torres

Fernando Torres

It was such a popular signing. And a very high profile one. It cost us a lot of money as well, but well worth it. Who was it? On this day, 4th July 2007, we sign Fernando Torres from Atletico Madrid. The fee was a large one for that era – £20.4m, but as touched […]

On this day 1st July is a bit of a tale of two managers in some respects. Two manager’s from two different ends of the spectrums really. Our most successful manager on the one hand and another manager who, to many observers, should not have ever become a Liverpool manager. Let’s have a look at […]
