Which Sponsor Would Win?
Since 1979 Liverpool have had 5 different shirt sponsors. They are, Hitachi (1979-1982); Crown Paints (1982-1988); Candy (1988-1992); Carlsberg (1992-2010) and Standard Chartered (2010-Present). Some have been relatively short-lived. For instance, only three years for Hitachi and fours years for Candy. Just for a bit of fun and as a bit of interest, which sponsor […]
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 […]
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 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.
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 […]
On This Day 17th April
With West Brom up next for The Reds, it may be worth remembering on this day 17th April. Kenny Dalglish scored the winner on this day 17th April 1982 against The Baggies at Anfield. Kenny’s 71st minute strike earned Liverpool a ninth consecutive victory.
A Comfortable Three Points
There is certainly a feelgood factor surrounding the Fields Of Anfield Road these days. And long may it continue. Saturday just gone (14th April) saw the visit of Bournemouth to Anfield. To be fair, Bournemouth played well in patches. In the first half their approach play in the first two thirds of the pitch was […]
Mo Salah The Egyptian King
Well what a first season this has been for Mo Salah The Egyptian King. To say it has come as a big surprise to many, if not all, fans is an understatement. He has truly lit up the Fields Of Anfield Road with his goals, his pace and his scintillating performances.
