Topic: On this day in LFC History: Personal Memories

[Boston Bosox]

Just saw Luis Garcia mention this on twitter. Very cool looking back that we signed both on the same day given what they'd go on to achieve at the end of their first season. Also crazy as I mentioned the other day on the anniversary of Rafa's first league game, that it's been twenty years. All those landmark dates hitting hard, I'm sure there'll be a lot of good stuff surrounding the 20th anniversary of Istanbul next May.

I'm Sure The Will

Scored 1st L F C Goal On This Day

Steve McManaman ( 1991 )



1874 – Forward Joe Lumsden was born in Tanfield. He signed from Burton Wanderers in June 1897, scoring twice in just eight senior outings before moving on to Glossop North End in May 1898.

1941 – Centre-forward Arthur Shepherd signed for the reds. He was on the Anfield books at the same time as his brothers Joseph and full-back Bill. He struck twelve times in eleven wartime games, but never appeared for the reds in peacetime.

1943 - Future reds boss Don Welsh bagged a treble as we beat Everton 5-2 in a wartime friendly at Goodison Park. Billy Liddell and Jack Balmer added our others

1948 - We started the season with a defeat, losing 2-1 at Aston Villa in a season when we finished twelfth in the table. Jack Balmer nabbed our consolation with Trevor Ford netting two of his seven goals against us, while Cyril Sidlow saved a Dickie Dorsett spot-kick.

1951 – Forward Cyril Done reached a century of reds senior games in our goalless top-flight draw with Burnley at Turf Moor.

1954 - Forward Tony Rowley scored a hat-trick on his reds debut as we beat Doncaster Rovers 3-2 in our season opener at Anfield. Kit Lawlor bagged a brace for the visitors.

1971 - We were on the receiving end at St. James’ Park as Malcolm MacDonald bagged a treble for Newcastle United who beat us 3-2, the first of his seven goals past us, with Emlyn Hughes and future Magpie Kevin Keegan striking our goals.

1974 – An informal dinner party in honour of the retired Bill Shankly was staged at St. George’s Hotel. The event was sponsored by the reds players and labelled ‘Thank You Boss’. The menu included Cured Kop Cod and Clear Mersey Soup, with one of the accompanying wines being from “a Shankly [sic] vintage year” of 1972, curiously a year in which he failed to lead us to silverware.

1976 - New £200,000 record signing David Johnson made his reds bow as we beat Norwich City 1-0 at Anfield, thanks to a Steve Heighway goal. Bob Paisley was presented with the Manager of the Year award from the previous season before the match.

1979 - We became the first English club to wear sponsored shirts when Hitachi was emblazoned on the red kit for the first time during a goalless draw with Bolton Wanderers at Anfield.

1982 - We beat Tottenham Hotspur 1-0 at Wembley to claim the FA Charity Shield outright for the sixth time, thanks to an extra-time strike from Ian Rush. David Hodgson made his first-class reds debut in this game.

1985 – We were held to a 2-2 draw at Aston Villa. Gary Shaw scored for the Villains with Ian Rush equalising before the break. Future red Mark Walters netted before Jan Mølby’s late leveller. However, there was still time for Nigel Spink to save a Rush spot-kick.

1987 - Mike Marsh signed on at Anfield, joining on a free transfer from Kirkby Town. He netted six times in 101 first-team games for the reds, before moving to West Ham United in September 1993 as part of the deal that brought Julian D icks to Anfield. He is now a First Team Coach back at Anfield.

1991 - David Moores became Chairman of the club. He showed patience towards the Managers he employed to lead the reds, while largely staying out of the limelight favoured by some club chairmen. He sold his stake in the club to George Gillett Jr. and Tom Hicks in February 2007, becoming Honorary Life President, although he resigned from the Board in June 2009 after this had proven to be a terrible mistake.

1991 - Steve McManaman scored his first official reds goal as we lost 2-1 at Manchester City, with Dean Saunders missing a penalty. Mark Wright was injured in this game, and subsequently missed the next 21 games. David White bagged a brace for City, the first two of his five strikes past us, a feat he repeated in the reverse fixture later that season.

1995 – Tony Yeboah netted a wonder strike, the only goal of our visit to Leeds United.

1999 – We lost 1-0 at Middlesbrough with Brian Deane nabbing the last of his eight goals against the reds.

2000 - Dietmar Hamann, Gary McAllister and Arsenal’s Patrick Vieira were all sent off as we lost 2-0 at Highbury. Hamann’s red card was later rescinded. Thierry Henry netted the first of his nine goals past us, after Lauren had opened the scoring.

2001 - We thumped Haka 4-1 at Anfield to progress to the group stages of the new Champions League for the first time, 9-1 on aggregate. Robbie Fowler scored on his return to the first team after his spat with Phil Thompson, while French midfielder Bernard Diomède played his fifth and final reds game. Our other goals came from Jamie Redknapp, Emile Heskey and an own goal from ex-Manchester United player Mark Wilson.

2004 - Richard Dunne was sent off for Manchester City as they lost 2-1 at Anfield in our first home game under Rafael Benítez, with our goals coming from Milan Baroš and Steven Gerrard. This was the first time in over five years that we had triumphed in a League game after trailing at half-time, to a Nicolas Anelka strike, one of his five goals past us.

2009 – Greek centre-half Sotirios Kyrgiakos signed from A.E.K Athens for £2m, following the summer departure of Sami Hyypiä. Soto bagged three goals in 49 largely solid performances at the back, becoming something of a cult figure for his no-nonsense style before moving to VfL Wolfsburg on a free transfer two years later.

2019 – Daniel Sturridge signed for Trabzonspor after netting an impressive 67 times in 160 reds games since arriving from Chelsea for £12m in January 2013. He was released the following March after scoring seven times in sixteen outings.

2021 – We beat Burnley 2-0 at Anfield, in front of a sell-out crowd for the first time since March 2020, due to previous COVID restrictions. Diogo Jota headed us in front, before both sies had goals ruled out for offside. Sadio Mané secured the victory after the break. On the same day, midfielder Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain became a father for the first time, a son. Meanwhile, ex-reds reserves centre-half Conor Masterson joined Cambridge United on loan from Queens Park Rangers, scoring once in 21 outings for the U’s.

[Crosby Nick]

Some bad results on this day! Losing at City in 91/92 felt weird. The first season where are stopped contending after an unrivalled period of dominance. I do remember Marsh and McManaman combining for the goal and getting some hope from our younger players - it would be a recurring theme over that period.

1995 - that was the Yeboah volley. An unbelievable goal. Lost a tight game as a result and think we’d played ok, sometimes you just can’t do anything when a goal like that goes in.

1999 - was a shit result. We’d just sold Ince to Boro and he left on bad terms. He was revelling in that result, we were still finding our feet with so many new players joining us that summer.

2000 - was a Monday night game having played the season opener on the Saturday! Two sent off, then I think they had someone sent off late on as well. The Gary Mac one got rescinded I think. Two late goals for them which can happen, they were a very good team at that time.

2004 - I was at this one. First home league game under Rafa and we came back from a goal down at half time to win a league game for the first time in years I think. Gerrard instrumental as ever.

[paulrazor]

1974- Bit of an odd vintage choice alright.

1976- Saw the Doc do a talk at a home game against City in 2008, went up to him after to get his autograph, then totally bottled it

1979- Used to be a common belief Hitachi were the first sponsors ever in England and we were the first ones to do it, but that honour went to Kettering Town of all teams

1982- Game didnt go to extra time but here is a clip of the goal, excellent work from Phil Thompson
https://www.redandwhitekop.com/forum/index.php?topic=280869.5880  27:42 in. He goes on a Joel Matip style run for about 50 yards with no one pressing him but that pass is absolutely sensational, look at the run from Rush and weight of the pass to clear out three players. Magnificent

1991- City beat us 2-1, David Whites first goal i think was ok despite claims of offside, whilst his second goal was a bit confusing, the referee initially didnt know whether to award it before the linesman did, it certainly didnt seem clear cut, Steve McManaman bravely scored a superb diving header and late on Dean Saunders missed a penalty which struck the underside of the bar, It bounced down and i think one or two might have claimed it was in but it clearly wasnt.

Saunders actually missed a penalty at the same ground for Derby the previous season, on that occasion his spot kick was saved by stand in goalkeeper and city striker Niall Quinn

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RI62DKjsCmo

highlights are here, commentator said you cant argue with the goal, you very much can imo

its very inconclusive, 3:43 in

Mark Wright in only his second game for the club got injured and didnt play again until almost Christmas, John Barnes (the best player in the league for the previous 4 years) was also injured and didnt play again until January

1995- Fantastic strike by Tony Yeboah, Stan Collymore went off injured early on, it should have been a penalty too. Late on Rob Jones hit the post.

1999- Knew Paul Ince would come back to haunt us, was just in a very bored slump at the time, was about to start my final year in school so always dreaded this time of year, and from working all summer I was just burned out and the year hadnt even started, was just totally  fed up at this stage, one reason why I havent missed school for a second

2000- New year new me, I had only started work two weeks but was still finding my feet in the big world, £188 a week was my wage, believe me it felt like a grand now. I am still in the same department all these years later, on this night I was playing five a side, there was a lot of controversy here with 3 red cards, Patrick Vieira was sent off, I think it was already his second red card of the season.

Hamann's was later recinded, it was Arsenal's first win over us in 6 years, the first time they had scored two against us in 8 years, also prior to this they had only scored something like 2 goals from open play against us in 13 games

2021- Two fantastic goals in this game, a lovely glancing header from jota and Sadio Mane rounded off a fine move, when I see an old goal from Mane and his big cheesy smile I really miss him, what a player he was

[gerrardisgod]

My dad took me that City game in 91, for my first away. Shit result, I hated our new star signing and the car got the windows put through.

All in all, a great night.

Jesus thats rough

I heard Maine Road was a terrible place for away fans back in the day

To be honest, my dad probably just parked in daft places, I’m sure the previous season we went to Wembley to watch Tranmere in a playoff final and the same happened. Spent the entire way home crying because they’d nicked my Animal Bars.

1893 - Centre-forward James Henderson signed from Scottish side Annbank. He only ever made one first-team appearance for the reds, in our first ever Football League fixture, a 2-0 Second Division win at Middlesbrough Ironopolis.

1949 – Stoke City held us to a goalless draw at the Victoria Ground.

1953 - Centre-forward Louis Bimpson struck twice at Anfield, but it was not enough to hand us victory over Manchester United, as the game ended 4-4, with Billy Liddell and Bill Jones also on the scoresheet. Jack Rowley struck the last of his six goals past us, with Tommy Taylor nabbing the first of his four against the reds and Eddie Lewis and Roger Byrne also on target.

1959 - Goalkeeper Bert Slater made his reds debut as we lost 3-2 at Cardiff City in our first game of the season. Cardiff in fact scored all five goals, as we benefited from two own goals from the unfortunate Danny Malloy, who had already scored an own goal against the reds two years earlier! Johnny Watkins netted the first of his four goals against us, with Graham Moore and Steve Mokone also on target.

1962 – We drew 2-2 at Manchester City. Neil Young struck the first two of his four goals against the reds, after first Ronnie Moran had converted a penalty and then Roger Hunt scored.

1964 - Our 3-2 win over Arsenal at Anfield was the first game ever to be screened on the BBC’s new “Match Of The Day” show. Phil Chisnall was the first player to kick a ball on MOTD, knocking the kick-off to Gordon Wallace, who grabbed a brace, including the winner that deflected off Don Howe past ex-reds keeper Jim Furnell. Roger Hunt headed in the first goal on the show that only garnered an audience of 75,000 as BBC2 was still unavailable in large parts of the country. Future red Geoff Strong scored for the Gunners, with Joe Baker bagging one of his four past us, while a black cat did a full lap of the pitch!

1967 – We beat Arsenal 2-0 at Anfield with Roger Hunt scoring twice past ex-reds custodian Jim Furnell.

1970 - We thumped Huddersfield Town 4-0 at Anfield with John McLaughlin and Alun Evans each grabbing a brace. Forward Bobby Graham played his hundredth reds game.

1978 - We won another top-flight fixture, this time 3-0 at FA Cup holders Ipswich Town, when Graeme Souness struck before a Kenny Dalglish double, with Ray Kennedy playing his 200th reds game.

1981 - Terry McDermott grabbed a brace, with Ronnie Whelan, Phil Neal and Kenny Dalglish also scoring, as we thumped Ronnie’s former side Home Farm 5-0 at Tolka Park in Dublin. This game had been arranged as part of Whelan’s transfer to Anfield. However, the match was almost cancelled after a massive H was carved into the pitch the night before in support of IRA hunger strikers. Emergency re-turfing saved the game with the reds flying over in the afternoon for the evening fixture.

1993 - Steve McManaman struck twice in a 5-0 thumping of Swindon Town at their County Ground. Neil Ruddock, Ronnie Whelan and Mike Marsh all also netted. This was Marsh’s final reds strike in his hundredth game for the club.

1998 - Michael Owen signed a new five-year contract ten minutes before our first home game of the season, when Arsenal held us to a goalless draw at Anfield.

2005 - It was a busy day at Melwood, with one arrival and two players departing on loan. Austrian midfielder Besian Idrizaj signed from Linzer ASK for £190,000, while Robbie Foy moved to Wrexham and John Welsh signed for Hull City. Welsh struck twice in 23 games before signing permanently for the Tigers in January 2006 in a swap deal for winger Paul Anderson. Foy nabbed three goals in twenty games while at the Racecourse Ground. On the same day, ex-reds loanee keeper Paul Jones joined Millwall on loan from Wolverhampton Wanderers. He played four times for the struggling South London outfit.

2006 - We squeezed into the group stage of the Champions League, being held to a 1-1 draw by Maccabi Haifa in Kiev in the second leg of our Third Qualifying Round tie, to progress 3-2. Peter Crouch headed us in front, with the reds wasting numerous chances to build a convincing lead. We also suffered injuries to Momo Sissoko and Stephen Warnock, who joined Jamie Carragher and John Arne Riise on the sidelines.

2006 - Foy signed for Sc*nthorpe United on non-contract terms. He struck once in nine outings for the Iron but was released after just a season.

2007 - Centre-half Mikel San José signed from Athletic de Bilbao, while keeper Péter Gulácsi arrived on loan from MTK Hungária. The young Hungarian made it into our match-day squad 51 times before moving to Red Bull Salzburg for free in June 2013, while San José did the same at Stamford Bridge in the League in February 2008, although he left for Athletic de Bilbao in May 2010.

2008 – Reserves forward Craig Lindfield joined Bournemouth on loan. He struck once in five outings for the Cherries.

2009 Besian Idrizaj signed for Swansea City. He played four times for the Swans before tragically dying in May 2010 of a suspected heart attack at the age of just 22.

2011 – Greek centre-half Sotirios Kyrgiakos joined VfL Wolfsburg on a free transfer. He had arrived from A.E.K Athens for £2m two years earlier, following the summer departure of Sami Hyypiä. Soto bagged three goals in 49 largely solid performances at the back, becoming something of a cult figure for his no-nonsense style.

2012 – Danish midfielder Christian Poulsen signed for Ajax, whom he helped to claim the League title in his first season in Amsterdam.

2015 – Full-back Tom Lowry died. He signed pro terms in April 1963 but only ever played one first-team game, when Bill Shankly fielded a team of eleven reserves in our League match at Wolverhampton Wanderers, which came only five days before the 1965 FA Cup Final. He moved on to Crewe Alexandra in June 1966, going on to set their club record of 436 League appearances that stands to this day.

2019 – Midfielder Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain signed a new contract, having struck five times in 47 outings to date since arriving from Arsenal for £35m two years earlier.

2020 – Billy Koumetio played his first games for the club, as did left-back Kostas Tsimikas in our 3-0 defeat of VfB Stuttgart in a behind closed doors friendly in Austria. Roberto Firmino, Naby Keïta and Rhian Brewster all scored.

2022 - Mohamed Salah scored a club record tenth goal against Manchester United, in a joint club record fourth consecutive game against the Red Devils, also becoming the club’s eighth top all-time goalscorer. However, it was only a late consolation as we lost 2-1 thanks to a Jadon Sancho strike and the most recent of Marcus Rashford’s six goals against us.

2022 – Forward David Amoo signed for Stevenage, scoring once in thirteen outings before moving on to Crewe Alexandra after just five months.

Aug 22

1964, Fairly sure one of Hunt's goals is the famous volley with the ball behind him and he looped it in the top corner, one of his most famous goals, was shown at the start of match of the day for years

1993- We absolutely hammered them, think they were McManaman's only goals all season, first time in 2.5 years we topped the table, with 3 wins from 3 we were looking good but needless to say it didnt last, performance was more down to Swindon being out of their depth. They would win 4 games from 42 all season and conceded 100 goals. Though later in the season they did get a draw at Anfield.

1998- That was a decent game, Ray Parlour i think missed an open goal

2006- Haifa, was a tricky one we just wanted out of the way, I remember the media giving Rafa a hard time over the match being moved on safety grounds.

2022- We were so bad that night, when I saw the midfield of Henderson, Elliott and Milner starting I feared the worst, especially when United dropped Ronaldo and Maguire. It was a sign the team was starting to creak a bit, a good few of that team no longer play for the club and there are reasons for that.

1993 - didn’t have Sky back then, but do remember listening to this on the radio and I think watching the end of the World Championship Athletics at the same time. Scouser Steve Smith won a High Jump medal I think (might have to Google that to check!).

1998 - I went to this one. Arsenal had won the double, then Petit and Vieira had won the World Cup. It was an encouraging game but things fell apart not too long afterwards.

2022 - we were bad as you say. I was also suffering a post end of season hangover, just couldn’t get into the new season at all that year.

[paulrazor]

2021-22 was quite exhausting just watching

Stress levels were high

We had that raspberry ripple jersey, it was ok but I think of all the games we had it we won once, used to dread seeing us wear it

Scored 1st L F C Goal On This Day

Jimmy Case ( 1975 )


1875 - Centre-forward George Allan was born in Linlithgow Bridge, West Lothian. He signed from Leith Athletic for £100 in June 1895 and was the first red to be capped by Scotland, top scoring as we claimed the Second Division title in 1896, and again the following season. He joined Celtic in May 1897 but returned to Anfield the following April for £50, bagging a total of 56 goals in 96 reds games before sadly dying of tuberculosis in October 1899, aged just 24.

1885 – Winger Harold Uren was born in Bristol. He joined the reds as an amateur in 1906, turning out 45 times and notching twice before joining Everton in February 1912 for £300 with forward Billy Lacey and centre-forward Tommy Gracie heading in the opposite direction.

1935 - Forward Jack Balmer signed as a professional for the reds, three months after arriving as an amateur from Everton. He went on to score 110 times in 309 games, helping us to the League title in 1947. It was during that season that he netted hat-tricks in three consecutive games, a remarkable feat that has yet to be matched in English top-flight football. He also played in the FA Cup Final three years later.

1947 - We beat Preston North End 3-1 at Anfield with Albert Stubbins netting twice and Billy Liddell also on target. Willie McIntosh scored the first of his four goals past us.

1950 - A Billy Liddell strike helped us to a 2-1 win over Manchester United at Anfield, with our other strike coming when keeper Reg Allen diverted another Liddell effort into his own net. Jack Rowley struck one of his six goals against the reds.

1952 - John Smith struck as we drew 1-1 at Deepdale. It was also a game of missed penalties, as Billy Liddell failed to convert for the reds, with Charlie Ashcroft saving a penalty from Tom Finney. Forward Arthur Rowley played the first of his eleven reds games, with Charlie Wayman netting one of his six goals against the reds.

1954 - We played Plymouth Argyle for the first time in our history, going down 1-0 at Home Park in a Second Division fixture with Keith Thomas bagging the goal.

1956 – Alan A’Court played his hundredth League game for the club as we drew 1-1 at Notts County in a Second Division encounter, with Billy Liddell on the scoresheet.

1958 - We were held to a 3-3 draw by Grimsby Town at Anfield as we kicked off our Second Division campaign. Jimmy Melia netted, with Billy Liddell bagging a brace, including a penalty. We ended the season in fourth position, and this remains our most recent home League meeting.

1961 – We beat Sunderland 3-0 in a Second Division encounter in L4. Roger Hunt nabbed a brace with Kevin Lewis also on the scoresheet.

1962 - Winger Johnny Morrissey was sold to Everton for £10,000. He had signed on as a professional in April 1957, netting six times in 37 reds games. He scored fifty goals in 314 appearances for the Blues, helping them to two League titles.

1969 - We took a two-goal lead over Burnley thanks to a Tommy Smith penalty and Bobby Graham header. However, the visitors stunned the crowd with three goals in quick succession to take the lead, before Tommy Smith bagged an equaliser. There was still time for either side to find a winner, but the game ended 3-3.

1972 – We won 2-1 at Chelsea as John Toshack and Ian Callaghan both netted early on.

1975 - Jimmy Case scored his first reds goal as we came from two goals behind to beat Tottenham Hotspur 3-2 at Anfield. Our other goals came from Steve Heighway and a Kevin Keegan penalty after John Duncan and Chris Jones had given the visitors a half-time lead.

1977 - We beat Newcastle United 2-0 at Anfield, with Kenny Dalglish bagging his first home goal and ex-Magpie Terry McDermott also on target.

1977 - Northern Irish 1990’s youth forward Davy Larmour was born in Dundonald. He never broke through to the first-team at Anfield, although he was part of the victorious FA Youth Cup winning squad in 1996, moving on to Doncaster Rovers in August 1996.

1980 - Kenny Dalglish played in his 180th consecutive reds game as we lost 2-0 at Leicester City in a top-flight meeting, before being left out of our 1-0 League Cup Second Round first leg defeat at Bradford City four days later, although he then made an immediate return to the side.

1984 - Midfield maestro Jan Mølby was officially signed from Ajax for £225,000. He struck 61 times in 292 reds appearances, including a remarkable 39 of his 42 attempted spot-kicks. He won three League titles and two FA Cups during his time at Anfield before joining Swansea City as Player/Manager on a free transfer in February 1996.

1984 – Right-back Glen Johnson was born in Greenwich. He signed from Portsmouth for £17.5m in June 2009, striking nine times in 200 games for the reds, helping us to claim the League Cup and reach the FA Cup Final in 2012. He signed for Stoke City in July 2015 having been released by the reds the previous month.

1986 - Mike Hooper made his League debut, keeping a clean sheet as an Ian Rush brace handed us victory at Newcastle United.

1987 - We claimed the pre-season Villa De Madrid Trophy by beating Club Atlético de Madrid 1-0 at the Estadio Vicente Calderón, with the transfer-listed John Wark coming off the bench to score.

1989 – We drew 1-1 at Aston Villa with John Barnes on target.

1992 – Arsenal won 2-0 at Anfield. Anders Limpar scored with Ian Wright adding one of his seven goals against the reds.

1997 – Steve Harkness played his hundredth reds game as we drew 1-1 at Blackburn Rovers. Michael Owen put us in front with Martin Dahlin equalising for the home side.

1999 - Rigobert Song gave Leeds United the lead at Elland Road, before Titi Camara equalised. We secured a 2-1 victory thanks to a Lucas Radebe own goal.

2001 - UEFA gave their fans’ award of the year jointly to Liverpool and Deportivo Alavés supporters, in recognition of the carnival atmosphere at the UEFA Cup Final in Dortmund earlier that year. Unfortunately, Gérard Houllier lost out to Bayern München boss Ottmar Hitzfield for the best coach award while Gary McAllister was pipped by Bayern’s Stefan Effenberg in the award for Europe’s most valuable player.

2001 - The reds were drawn against Borussia Dortmund, Dynamo Kyiv and Portuguese champions Boavista in our first venture into the new Champions League.

2005 - We reached the group stages of the Champions League despite losing 1-0 at home to CSKA Sofia in our 250th European game, as we had won the first leg 3-1. John Arne Riise played his fiftieth game in Europe for the reds as centre-half Valentin Iliev bagged the only goal of the game.

2005 - Milan Baroš was sold to Aston Villa for £6.5m after 27 goals in 108 reds games. He had helped us to claim the Champions League and League Cup during his four years at Anfield, striking fourteen times in 51 games for the Midlands club, before moving to Olympique Lyonnais in January 2007.

2007 - Young Bulgarian keeper Nikolay Mihaylov joined Twente on loan, having arrived from PFC Levski Sofia only seven weeks before, and has since moved on permanently to the Dutch side.

2008 – We came from behind after Mido’s goal to beat Middlesbrough 2-1 in our first home game of the season thanks to a late equaliser from Jamie Carragher that was later ruled to be an Emanuel Pogatetz own goal by the Premier League’s dubious goals panel. Steven Gerrard then handed us all three points in stoppage time.

2010 – We lost 3-0 at Manchester City, with Javier Mascherano being withdrawn close to kick-off. Gareth Barry opened the scoring with the last of his four goals past us, with Carlos Tévez converting from the spot for one of his four strikes against the reds, and Micah Richards also on target as future red James Milner made his City bow.
On the same day, second choice keeper Diego Cavalieri was sold to Cesena for £1.2m. He only played once for the Italian side before joining Fluminense back in his native Brazil just four months later.

2012 – Centre-forward Adam Morgan made his reds bow as Andy Webster put through his own net to hand us a 1-0 victory in our UEFA Europa League Play-off first leg at Heart Of Midlothian, with Charlie Adam playing his 37th and last reds game and Jay Spearing making his 55th and final appearance for the club.

2016 –Joël Matip made his reds bow as we thumped Nigel Clough’s Burton Albion 5-0 at their Pirelli Stadium in the Second Round of the League Cup. Divock Origi and Roberto Firmino both struck before the break. Tom Naylor put through his own net before Daniel Sturridge added a late brace.

2017 – We beat TSG 1899 Hoffenheim 4-2 in the second leg of our UEFA Champions League qualifier at Anfield, on our way to the Final in Kiev. Emre Can bagged a brace with Mohamed Salah also on target as we raced into a three-goal lead. Roberto Firmino completed the scoring against his former club as we went through 6-3 on aggregate.

2017 Former reds loanee midfielder Conor Thomas signed for Indian Super League side ATK, playing twenty times before returning to England to join Cheltenham Town.

2018 – Young right-back Connor Randall joined Rochdale on loan, only playing three times for the Dale.

2021 - Xherdan Shaqiri was sold to Olympique Lyonnais for €6m, having signed from relegated Stoke City in July 2018 for £12.85m, netting eight times in 63 appearances and helping us to claim our first League title for thirty years and the FIFA Club World Cup. On the same day, young Welsh forward Ben Woodburn joined Heart Of Midlothian on loan, netting three times in 29 outings.

2023 – Midfielder Trey Nyoni signed from Leicester City. He debuted in our FA Cup Fifth Round encounter with Southampton at Anfield in February 2024, becoming the youngest ever red to appear in the competition, aged just sixteen years and 243 days.

Paul's Story

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-26980704


Always Remembered
Never Forgotten
Y N W A

[Crosby Nick]

1992 - remember listening to that in the back of the car driving back from North Wales. Arsenal had also fallen from where they were but we were well beaten that day. Pretty Sobering.

1997 - young Owen had suddenly become our best player. Dhalin didn’t do much for them I don’t think.

1999 - We were very up and down with all our new signings but this was an unexpectedly decent win against a good Leeds side. Titi Camara curled in a beauty off the underside of the bar I think.

2008 - I actually thought out equaliser came later than the 85th minute but one of those games where in advance you thought we’d win easily, then became increasingly frustrating to the point where you’d be happy with a draw and then an injury time winner to get you absolutely bouncing!

2010 - Don’t remember too much about the game, we lost a few at City at this time. I do remember Masch refusing to play (or being thrown under the bus depending who you believe). This result just added to the general feeling that we were in for a terrible season.

2017 - the brilliant Can goal topped off a really exciting performance and gave us a glimpse into how exciting our European campaign was going to be that season.

[paulrazor]

1986 Two well taken goals by Rush in a 2-0 win, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yulk9qyk9_A highlights are here, if you want to just see the goals then go here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-rRyn5DYV5I&t=162s 15:21

Unusually that vhs had Brian Moore on commentary but its dubbed here, probably a copyright issue. Peter Beardsley played for Newcastle that day, Mike Hooper was in goal, the first time in over 5 years Bruce Grobbelaar missed a game.

1989- Liverpool draw 1-1 against an Aston Villa team almost relegated a year before but a team who challenge for the title with us that season, a rather strange finish from Barnes put us ahead but it was a Barnes flick at the near post that allowed David Platt to score from a set piece.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w3pR0zz2wSo 5:30 here, for the third season in a row it was the only game Liverpool wore a third choice white kit and both our red and grey kits were deemed to clash.

1992- An absolute wank of a display, Arsenal battered us. Not too long ago my brother reminded me that day he felt the golden years were over, I remember him taking me to see that in a local pub and when we got home he said it was the worst he ever saw us play at Anfield.

1999- That was a great win, Titi Camara scored a lovely goal in off the bar. We did the double over Leeds that season but they finished 3rd and we finished 4th, they beat us to a champions league spot. Ironically a year later they would do the double over us but we finished 3rd and them 4th.

2010 - Mascherano refused to play and left the club

2017- The start of a glorious campaign, Can's goal was superb.

1997 - young Owen had suddenly become our best player. Dhalin didn’t do much for them I don’t think.

1999 - We were very up and down with all our new signings but this was an unexpectedly decent win against a good Leeds side. Titi Camara curled in a beauty off the underside of the bar I think.

2008 - I actually thought out equaliser came later than the 85th minute but one of those games where in advance you thought we’d win easily, then became increasingly frustrating to the point where you’d be happy with a draw and then an injury time winner to get you absolutely bouncing!

2010 - Don’t remember too much about the game, we lost a few at City at this time. I do remember Masch refusing to play (or being thrown under the bus depending who you believe). This result just added to the general feeling that we were in for a terrible season.

2017 - the brilliant Can goal topped off a really exciting performance and gave us a glimpse into how exciting our European campaign was going to be that season.

1986 Two well taken goals by Rush in a 2-0 win, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yulk9qyk9_A highlights are here, if you want to just see the goals then go here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-rRyn5DYV5I&t=162s 15:21

Unusually that vhs had Brian Moore on commentary but its dubbed here, probably a copyright issue. Peter Beardsley played for Newcastle that day, Mike Hooper was in goal, the first time in over 5 years Bruce Grobbelaar missed a game.

1989- Liverpool draw 1-1 against an Aston Villa team almost relegated a year before but a team who challenge for the title with us that season, a rather strange finish from Barnes put us ahead but it was a Barnes flick at the near post that allowed David Platt to score from a set piece.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w3pR0zz2wSo 5:30 here, for the third season in a row it was the only game Liverpool wore a third choice white kit and both our red and grey kits were deemed to clash.

1992- An absolute wank of a display, Arsenal battered us. Not too long ago my brother reminded me that day he felt the golden years were over, I remember him taking me to see that in a local pub and when we got home he said it was the worst he ever saw us play at Anfield.

1999- That was a great win, Titi Camara scored a lovely goal in off the bar. We did the double over Leeds that season but they finished 3rd and we finished 4th, they beat us to a champions league spot. Ironically a year later they would do the double over us but we finished 3rd and them 4th.

2010 - Mascherano refused to play and left the club

2017- The start of a glorious campaign, Can's goal was superb.

John Arne Riise ( 2001 )
El Hadji Diouff ( 2002 )




1873 - Forward Harry Bradshaw was born in Liverpool. He became the reds’ first international in February 1897 when he won his one and only England cap, at outside-left. He signed from Northwich Victoria in October 1893 and struck 53 times in 138 reds games, before moving on to Tottenham Hotspur in May 1898.

1873 - Inside-right Johnny Walker was born in Shotts. He joined the reds from Heart Of Midlothian for £175 in March 1898, playing 120 times and scoring 31 goals, including the decisive final goal of the season to hand us our first League title in 1901. The following year he returned to his native Scotland, moving to Rangers.

1893 - Legendary keeper Elisha Scott was born in Belfast. He kept goal for the reds on 468 occasions across his 21 years with us after signing from Broadway United in September 1912, and ended his career with two League title medals, joining Belfast Celtic as Player/Manager in June 1934.

1955 – We lost a Second Division fixture 3-0 to Sheffield Wednesday at Anfield. Inside-left John Evans had to leave the pitch after just ten minutes having broken his collar bone in a collision with Owls keeper Dave McIntosh. Redfern Froggatt scored one of his six goals past us before Roy Shiner and Jackie Sewell struck.

1957 - We kicked off our Second Division campaign with a 2-1 victory at Bristol City with both goals scored by Tony Rowley and Johnny Watkins netting the first of his four strikes past the reds. We ended that season in fourth.

1960 - We visited The Dell in the League for the first time, being comprehensively beaten 4-1, with Tommy Leishman bagging his first reds goal. Terry Paine bagged the first of his four strikes against the reds, with Derek Reeves, George O’Brien and John Sydenham all also on target. We had previously played at The Dell four times in cup games, also without tasting victory.

1963 - Winger and new record signing Peter Thompson made his official reds debut as we came from behind to win our season opener 2-1 at Blackburn Rovers. Ronnie Moran headed in after Rovers keeper Fred Else had saved his penalty, with Ian Callaghan bagging the winner.

1966 – We lost 2-1 at Manchester City. Jimmy Murray scored one of his four goals past us before Geoff Strong headed in an equaliser. However, Colin Bell netted a last-minute winner.

1967 - Midfielder Michael Thomas was born in Lambeth. He arrived at Anfield from Arsenal for £1.5m in December 1991, less than three years after cruelly snatching the title for the Gunners with practically the last kick of the season’s final game in L4, as well as coming off the bench in their 1987 League Cup Final defeat of the reds. He made 163 appearances for the reds scoring twelve times, including the 1992 FA Cup Final opener, before teaming up with Graeme Souness again at SL Benfica.

1968 - We beat Sunderland 4-1 in a top-flight fixture thanks to goals from Tommy Smith, Chris Lawler, Ian Callaghan and Tony Hateley, who netted his 28th and last reds strike. Colin Suggett bagged one of his four goals against us.

1971 – John Toshack nabbed the only goal of our trip to Crystal Palace.

1974 - Left-back Alec Lindsay scored two penalties as we beat Leicester City 2-1 at Anfield. Foxes skipper Keith Weller scored one of his six goals past us but was later fined £100 with £60 costs for “bringing the game into disrepute” after allegedly insulting the referee after the game due to his spot-kick awards.

1981 - We played Northern Irish side Crusaders in a friendly, winning 5-0. The game was arranged to commemorate the opening of a new stand at their Seaview ground. Mark Lawrenson struck his first reds goal in this game, with David Johnson and Terry McDermott adding to a brace from Kenny Dalglish.

1984 - David Hodgson joined Sunderland for £125,000. He had never fully established himself in his two years at Anfield after signing from Middlesbrough for £450,000, scoring ten times in 49 appearances, although he did claim a League championship medal and help us to clinch the FA Charity Shield on his reds bow.

1985 - We lost at St. James’ Park in what was Willie McFaul’s first match in charge as Caretaker Manager of Newcastle United. George Reilly headed the only goal of the game.

1985 - Former reserves central midfielder David Mannix was born in Liverpool. He left Anfield in January 2007 to join Ham-Kam, who played in the second tier of Norwegian football, but later returned to England with Chester City.

1991 - Steve McMahon was sent off for a stray elbow at Kenilworth Road as we were held to a goalless draw by Luton Town on our most recent League visit there. Dean Saunders somehow missed an open goal from well inside the six-yard box.

1993 – Keeper Jamie Stephens was born in Wotton-under-Edge. He signed from Swindon Town in 2010, going on to win the Barclays Premier Academy League Save of the Season award for 2010/11 for a stop in an away win at Manchester United. He left the club for Newport County in July 2013, after a loan spell with Welsh side Airbus UK Broughton earlier that year.

1996 - We were held to a goalless draw in the Premiership at home to Sunderland .

2001 - We claimed our second UEFA Super Cup by beating European champions Bayern München 3-2 at the Stade Louis II in Monaco. John Arne Riise, with his first reds goal, Emile Heskey and Michael Owen put us in a commanding lead before the Germans staged a late, but ultimately fruitless, come-back.

2002 - We faced Southampton when El-Hadji Diouf nabbed a brace in his first Anfield match, his first reds strikes, with Danny Murphy converting a last-minute penalty as we won 3-0. Stéphane Henchoz reached a century of League appearances for the reds in this game.

2003 - We left Villa Park having shared a goalless draw with Aston Villa, in our first away match of the season.

2004 - We lost the second leg of our Champions League qualifier 1-0 to Grazer AK at Anfield to progress 2-1 on aggregate. This was the first time we had lost a home second leg in Europe after winning the first leg away, although the feat was repeated a year later. Mario Tokić struck for the Austrian side, not giving fans much confidence that we could go all the way in the competition.

2006 - Anthony Le Tallec joined Sochaux-Montbéliard on loan. He grabbed two goals in nineteen outings in his one season with Les Lionceaux.

2009 – We lost 3-1 at home to Aston Villa, as they took a first-half lead through a Lucas own goal as he deflected a free kick past the helpless Pepe Reina, and then a Curtis Davies header from a corner. Fernando Torres scored before Steven Gerrard conceded a needless penalty, converted by Ashley Young.

2009 – Young Hungarian forward András Simon joined Córdoba on loan. He failed to score in nine League outings for the Andalusian outfit.

2011 – Kenny Dalglish secured his 200th win as reds boss as we won a League Cup Second Round tie 3-1 at Exeter City as we started our journey to Wembley glory. Luis Suárez scored in his third consecutive game before the break. Maxi Rodríguez and Andy Carroll struck after the break before a late consolation from the spot by Danny Nardiello. Centre-half Danny Wilson played his ninth and last reds game.

2011 – Dani Pacheco joined Club Atlético de Madrid on loan, with an option to buy at the end of the season. However, they then loaned him out themselves to Rayo Vallecano de Madrid. On the same day, ex-reds reserves forward Lauri Dalla Valle joined Dundee United on loan from Fulham, netting three times in fifteen games for the Terrors.

2013 – Left-back Aly Cissokho made his reds bow from the bench as Daniel Sturridge’s first-half strike was enough to secure victory at Villa Park, with keeper Simon Mignolet making a series of crucial stops after the break.

2015 – James Milner skippered the reds from the start for the first time as we held Arsenal to a goalless draw at the Emirates Stadium.

2019 – Jordan Henderson captained the club in the League for the hundredth time as we beat Arsenal 3-1 at Anfield. Centre-half Joël Matip headed us in front from a corner shortly before the break. Mohamed Salah scored twice, including a penalty, before Lucas Torreira bagged a late consolation for the Gunners as we equalled a top-flight club record of twelve consecutive wins.

2020 – Midfielder Jordan Williams joined Blackpool on a free transfer from Rochdale. He played fourteen times without scoring, moving on to Bolton Wanderers the following February.

1873 - Forward Harry Bradshaw was born in Liverpool. He became the reds’ first international in February 1897 when he won his one and only England cap, at outside-left. He signed from Northwich Victoria in October 1893 and struck 53 times in 138 reds games, before moving on to Tottenham Hotspur in May 1898.

1873 - Inside-right Johnny Walker was born in Shotts. He joined the reds from Heart Of Midlothian for £175 in March 1898, playing 120 times and scoring 31 goals, including the decisive final goal of the season to hand us our first League title in 1901. The following year he returned to his native Scotland, moving to Rangers.

1893 - Legendary keeper Elisha Scott was born in Belfast. He kept goal for the reds on 468 occasions across his 21 years with us after signing from Broadway United in September 1912, and ended his career with two League title medals, joining Belfast Celtic as Player/Manager in June 1934.

1955 – We lost a Second Division fixture 3-0 to Sheffield Wednesday at Anfield. Inside-left John Evans had to leave the pitch after just ten minutes having broken his collar bone in a collision with Owls keeper Dave McIntosh. Redfern Froggatt scored one of his six goals past us before Roy Shiner and Jackie Sewell struck.

1957 - We kicked off our Second Division campaign with a 2-1 victory at Bristol City with both goals scored by Tony Rowley and Johnny Watkins netting the first of his four strikes past the reds. We ended that season in fourth.

1960 - We visited The Dell in the League for the first time, being comprehensively beaten 4-1, with Tommy Leishman bagging his first reds goal. Terry Paine bagged the first of his four strikes against the reds, with Derek Reeves, George O’Brien and John Sydenham all also on target. We had previously played at The Dell four times in cup games, also without tasting victory.

1963 - Winger and new record signing Peter Thompson made his official reds debut as we came from behind to win our season opener 2-1 at Blackburn Rovers. Ronnie Moran headed in after Rovers keeper Fred Else had saved his penalty, with Ian Callaghan bagging the winner.

1966 – We lost 2-1 at Manchester City. Jimmy Murray scored one of his four goals past us before Geoff Strong headed in an equaliser. However, Colin Bell netted a last-minute winner.

1967 - Midfielder Michael Thomas was born in Lambeth. He arrived at Anfield from Arsenal for £1.5m in December 1991, less than three years after cruelly snatching the title for the Gunners with practically the last kick of the season’s final game in L4, as well as coming off the bench in their 1987 League Cup Final defeat of the reds. He made 163 appearances for the reds scoring twelve times, including the 1992 FA Cup Final opener, before teaming up with Graeme Souness again at SL Benfica.

1968 - We beat Sunderland 4-1 in a top-flight fixture thanks to goals from Tommy Smith, Chris Lawler, Ian Callaghan and Tony Hateley, who netted his 28th and last reds strike. Colin Suggett bagged one of his four goals against us.

1971 – John Toshack nabbed the only goal of our trip to Crystal Palace.

1974 - Left-back Alec Lindsay scored two penalties as we beat Leicester City 2-1 at Anfield. Foxes skipper Keith Weller scored one of his six goals past us but was later fined £100 with £60 costs for “bringing the game into disrepute” after allegedly insulting the referee after the game due to his spot-kick awards.

1981 - We played Northern Irish side Crusaders in a friendly, winning 5-0. The game was arranged to commemorate the opening of a new stand at their Seaview ground. Mark Lawrenson struck his first reds goal in this game, with David Johnson and Terry McDermott adding to a brace from Kenny Dalglish.

1984 - David Hodgson joined Sunderland for £125,000. He had never fully established himself in his two years at Anfield after signing from Middlesbrough for £450,000, scoring ten times in 49 appearances, although he did claim a League championship medal and help us to clinch the FA Charity Shield on his reds bow.

1985 - We lost at St. James’ Park in what was Willie McFaul’s first match in charge as Caretaker Manager of Newcastle United. George Reilly headed the only goal of the game.

1985 - Former reserves central midfielder David Mannix was born in Liverpool. He left Anfield in January 2007 to join Ham-Kam, who played in the second tier of Norwegian football, but later returned to England with Chester City.

1991 - Steve McMahon was sent off for a stray elbow at Kenilworth Road as we were held to a goalless draw by Luton Town on our most recent League visit there. Dean Saunders somehow missed an open goal from well inside the six-yard box.

1993 – Keeper Jamie Stephens was born in Wotton-under-Edge. He signed from Swindon Town in 2010, going on to win the Barclays Premier Academy League Save of the Season award for 2010/11 for a stop in an away win at Manchester United. He left the club for Newport County in July 2013, after a loan spell with Welsh side Airbus UK Broughton earlier that year.

1996 - We were held to a goalless draw in the Premiership at home to Sunderland .

2001 - We claimed our second UEFA Super Cup by beating European champions Bayern München 3-2 at the Stade Louis II in Monaco. John Arne Riise, with his first reds goal, Emile Heskey and Michael Owen put us in a commanding lead before the Germans staged a late, but ultimately fruitless, come-back.

Passed Away On This Day

Phil Ferns ( 2007 )


1898 – Inside-forward Willie Walker re-joined Leith Athletic on a free transfer, having struck three times in twelve reds games since arriving in May 1897.

1909 - Goalkeeper Andrew Aitken was born in Newcastle. He signed from Wallsend in March 1930 but only ever made one senior reds appearance, in our 3-3 draw at Blackburn Rovers in December of that year, returning to amateur football with Mickley in April 1931.

1923 - We Played at the Hawthorns for the first time ,we went down 2-0 as we started off the season badly. Forward **** Johnson seriously injured his knee, not making his comeback until the following April. Stan Davies netted one of his four strikes against the reds, with Arthur Fitton also netting.

1925 – Inside-left Hector Lawson left the reds to join Airdrieonians. He had signed from Rangers in January 1924, failing to score in sixteen outings

1928 - Two debutants scored in our 3-0 defeat of Bury at Anfield, as the newly-roofed Kop was opened for the first match of the season. Billy Miller scored twice and Albert Whitehurst added the other. Centre-half David Davidson and left-half Jimmy McDougall also made their reds bows that day. This was the last time that two debutants struck in the same match until Craig Bellamy and Mark González repeated the feat against Maccabi Haifa in August 2006.

1934 - We kicked off the season with a 2-0 defeat of Blackburn Rovers at Anfield, thanks to a Vic Wright brace.

1948 – We drew 3-3 with Sheffield United in L4, with Jack Balmer nabbing a brace and Billy Liddell also on target for the reds. Jimmy Hagan scored one of his four goals against us, with George Jones and Colin Collindridge also scoring.

1951 – We came from behind to win 3-1 at Chelsea with Kevin Baron, Billy Liddell and Albert Stubbins all on the scoresheet.

1956 - Right-half Roy Saunders, Dean’s dad, scored his only reds goal in our 2-0 Second Division win at Bury’s Gigg Lane. Louis Bimpson grabbed the other.

1962 - We lost 1-0 at Ewood Park thanks to a Bryan Douglas goal.

1965 - We lost 1-0 at Anfield to Sheffield United as Mick Jones bagged the first of his seven strikes past the reds.

1969 – Ex-reserves forward Tony Cousins was born in The Liberties, Dublin. He won the PFAI Young Player of the Year in 1989/90 before joining the reds. He moved to Middlesbrough on a free transfer in the summer of 1993 having failed to make the breakthrough at Anfield.

1970 – Bobby Graham was on target as Crystal Palace held us to a 1-1 draw in L4.

1971 - Ian St. John signed for Coventry City after a spell with Hellenic in South Africa. He had notched 118 goals in 425 games for the reds, including the winning goal in the 1965 FA Cup Final. He had also helped us to win two First Division titles, the Second Division and FA Charity Shield since his arrival from Motherwell in May 1961 for a then club record fee of £37,500.

1973 - Steve Heighway bagged the only goal of our season opener at home to Stoke City as Ian Callaghan played his 600th reds game. Bill Shankly was presented with Bell’s Manager of the Year trophy for the previous season, also parading the recently-retired Gordon Banks around Anfield before the match.

1973 - Reds reserves left-back and future boss Roy Evans played for the Philadelphia Atoms as they beat Dallas Tornado 2-0 in the NASL Final in Dallas.

1976 - We also won at The Hawthorns, with John Toshack nabbing the only goal of the game.

1979 - Centre-half Colin Irwin made his reds bow as we saw off West Bromwich Albion 3-1 at Anfield, thanks to Terry McDermott and a David Johnson brace, with Peter Barnes netting for the Baggies. This was our 1,500th home League game.

1984 - Jan Molby made his first-class reds debut in our 3-3 draw at Norwich City. A Steve Bruce own goal put us ahead, the hundredth we had benefited from in all competitions to date, with our other goals coming from Kenny Dalglish and a Phil Neal penalty. Mick Channon scored the last of his seven goals past us, with Peter Mendham and Keith Bertschin also on target.

1986 – We were held to a goalless draw at Anfield by Manchester City. Ian Rush was sent off for ‘foul or abusive language’ as he was leaving the pitch at the end of the game, although this was later rescinded.

1990 - Sheffield United’s goalkeeper Simon Tracey had to go off injured in only the fourteenth minute at Bramall Lane, to be replaced by defender John Pemberton. We went on to win 3-1, with goals from Ray Houghton, Ian Rush and John Barnes. Brian Deane was on target for the home side with the first of his eight goals against us.

1992 - Jan Mølby scored our first Premier League penalty as we held Ipswich Town to a 2-2 draw at Portman Road, with Mark Walters nabbing our other goal. Jason Dozzell and then Chris Kiwomya equalised for the home side.

1993 – Tottenham Hotspur won 2-1 at Anfield. Nigel Clough put us in front, but Teddy Sheringham struck two of his seven goals against the reds, including a penalty.

2000 - Christian Ziege completed his protracted signing from Middlesbrough for £5.5m. He had spent one successful season at the Riverside, netting seven times in 34 appearances. Ziege made 32 appearances whilst at Anfield, including coming off the bench in Cardiff for the first leg of the treble, before moving on again to Tottenham Hotspur. He retired from playing in October 2005 after a spell back in his native land with Borussia Mönchengladbach.

2005 - Steven Gerrard was presented with the UEFA Club Footballer of the Year award in Monaco, having led us to Champions League glory earlier that year.

2007 - Momo Sissoko struck his only reds goal, our 7,000th in League football, with Andriy Voronin also notching as we won 2-0 at Sunderland, with Sami Hyypiä forced off after just a quarter of an hour with a broken nose and Jamie Carragher also breaking a rib and having to be replaced.

2010 – Midfielder Alberto Aquilani returned to his native land to join Juventus on loan, after two goals in 28 reds outings. He notched twice in 34 games for the Old Lady that season. On the same day, young Hungarian forward Krisztián Németh joined Olympiacos for £1m after a successful loan spell in Greece with A.E.K Athens. He played just four League games for them, spending much of his time out on loan.

2012 – Turkish midfielder Nuri Şahin joined on loan from Real Madrid. However, he only struck three times in twelve outings before returning to Borussia Dortmund in January 2013.

2014 - Mario Balotelli signed from AC Milan for £16m, going on to score just four times in 28 outings, although half of these came from the bench. He left for Nice on a free transfer two years later after a season on loan at AC Milan. On the same day, the reds lost 3-1 at Manchester City as Emre Can, Lazar Marković and Alberto Moreno all made their debuts. Stevan Jovetić struck twice, the most recent of his four goals past us, with Sergio Agüero also scoring, one of his six against us to date. Our goal came when Pablo Zabaleta put through his own net.

2016 – Right-back Javier Manquillo joined Sunderland on loan from Club Atlético de Madrid, netting once in 22 games as the Mackems were relegated to the Championship. On the dame day, left-back Sam Hart joined Port Vale on loan. He struck once in sixteen outings for the Valiants.

2018 – Mohamed Salah bagged the only goal of Brighton & Hove Albion’s League visit to Anfield.

2018 – German keeper Loris Karius joined Turkish side Beşiktaş JK on a two-year loan. He joined the reds for £4.7m from 1. FSV Mainz 05 in July 2016, taking over the number one shirt. He has made 49 first-team appearances to date, keeping 22 clean sheets but making several high-profile errors.

2020 – We came from two goals down to draw a behind closed doors friendly 2-2 at Red Bull Salzburg with Rhian Brewster netting twice

- The three league games played in the 1939-40 season were expunged from Football League records as the season was stopped due to World War II.
The games are therefore not considered valid by LFChistory.net and as the "Association of football statisticians" does not count them towards official player totals.

1882 - Legendary keeper Sam Hardy was born in Newbold, Chesterfield. He signed from his hometown club for £340 in May 1905 and helped us to our second League title in his first season, going on to make 240 appearances before joining Aston Villa for £1,500 in May 1912.

1888 – Defender Ernest Peake was born in Aberystwyth. He arrived as a Welsh international from his hometown club Aberystwyth Town in May 1908, netting six times in 55 games before joining Third Lanark in May 1914

1922 - Centre-forward D ickJohnson struck a hat-trick in our 5-2 opening day defeat of Arsenal at Anfield in sweltering conditions. Tom Bromilow and Harry ‘Smiler’ Chambers scored the other goals. A Kop-style banner was unveiled that day to celebrate our two-in-a-row title success the previous season.

1933 - Forward Sam English and full-back Ben Dabbs both made their reds debuts in our 3-2 opening day defeat at Wolverhampton Wanderers. Our goals came from Dave Wright and a Gordon Hodgson penalty. Future red Billy Hartill scored, with Charlie Phillips and Billy Barraclough also on target as right-half Tom Morrison played his 200th League game for the reds.

1939 - We lost 2-1 at Sheffield United as we started off the soon-to-be-aborted season. Jimmy McInnes grabbed our goal.

1945 - Full-back Tom Lowry was born in Liverpool. He signed pro terms in April 1963 but only ever played one first-team game, when Bill Shankly fielded a team of eleven reserves in our League match at Wolverhampton Wanderers, which came only five days before the 1965 FA Cup Final. He moved on to Crewe Alexandra in June 1966, going on to set their club record of 436 League appearances that stands to this day.

1950 - Billy Liddell bagged his fiftieth reds goal with Albert Stubbins also on target twice as we beat Sunderland 4-0 at Anfield.

1953 - We entertained Newcastle United with Kevin Baron on target twice in our 2-2 draw.

1959 – Billy Liddell bagged a brace in our 4-2 Second Division defeat of Bristol City at Anfield, thus scoring in his fifteenth consecutive season, a club record. Jimmy Melia converted a penalty with Alan A’Court also on target. John Atyeo bagged the last of his five goals against the reds, with Jimmy Rogers also on the scoresheet for the visitors.

1961 - Hunt bagged a treble as we thumped Leeds United 5-0 at Anfield, our record equal victory over the Yorkshiremen. Kevin Lewis, with a penalty, and Jimmy Melia struck our others. We were promoted back to the top flight at the end of the season.

1963 – Winger Kevin Lewis left the reds for Huddersfield Town. He played 82 reds games after signing from Sheffield United for a club record £13,000 in June 1960 as Bill Shankly’s second capture, helping us to the Second Division title and scoring an impressive 44 times.

1964 - Roger Hunt struck as we lost 4-2 at Leeds United Gordon Milne’s penalty was saved by Gary Sprake but Milne reacted quickly and scored from the rebound. Ron Yeats scored an own goal, with Don Weston netting the last of his four goals past us, with Billy Bremner and Johnny Giles each bagging one of their five strikes against the reds.

1967 - Tony Hateley scored a hat-trick, his first reds goals that included a penalty, in our 6-0 thumping of Newcastle United. Emlyn Hughes also struck for the first time for the reds in the same game, with a Roger Hunt brace completing the scoring.

1971 - 1960’s reds right-half Gordon Milne was appointed Manager of England Youth.

1972 - We hosted West Ham United , winning 3-2. Bryan ‘Pop’ Robson bagged a brace for the visitors, two of his five goals against the reds, with the scores levelled by John Toshack and then a Bobby Ferguson own goal before Emlyn Hughes grabbed the winner.

1975 - Ray Kennedy netted in a 3-0 win at Leeds United with Ian Callaghan grabbing a late brace, with Brian Hall playing his 200th reds game.

1978 - Graeme Souness struck twice as we won 4-1 at Manchester City, with Ray Kennedy and Kenny Dalglish also on target, although City hit both the crossbar and post. Brian Kidd struck one of his six goals past the reds.

1982 - Nessie Shankly officially opened the Shankly Gates at Anfield.

1985 - Ian Rush bagged a brace with Steve Nicol, Jan Mølby and Craig Johnston also on the scoresheet as Ipswich Town left L4 having lost 5-0.

1986 - Sammy Lee moved on to Queens Park Rangers after a fine career in the reds midfield, bagging nineteen goals in 295 games, helping us to two European Cups, four League titles, four League Cups and the FA Charity Shield. He returned as a coach in 1992, initially being put in charge of the reserves. He left the backroom staff in the summer of 2004 for a full-time post with England, before joining Bolton Wanderers, but returned to Anfield in May 2008 as Assistant Manager, staying in that role until June 2011.

1989 – We drew 0-0 on Luton Town’s artificial turf.

1992 - Gérard Houllier took charge of his first senior international game as France lost 2-0 to Brazil in a friendly in Paris.

1995 - John Barnes’ second goal in our 3-1 win at Tottenham Hotspur was his hundredth reds strike, while Robbie Fowler netted his fiftieth reds goal. Digger also struck an own goal past David James in this match, which was our 500th away victory in the top flight. Colin Calderwood bagged the home side’s late consolation.

1997 - Steve McManaman bagged his fiftieth reds goal and Karl-Heinz Riedle struck his first for the club to secure a 2-0 victory at Leeds United .

1999 - Robbie Fowler’s future wife Kerrie gave birth to their first daughter, Madison, at Liverpool Women’s Hospital.

2000 - Michael Owen netted his 49th and fiftieth League goals, in his 98th appearance, although we ended up drawing 3-3 with Southampton in our last game at The Dell, having led 3-0 with just seventeen minutes remaining. The brace took Owen to seven goals in as many games against the Saints. Sami Hyypiä grabbed our other goal. Marian Pahars netted twice with Tahar El Khalej also on target for the home side. Owen’s second strike was also the club’s 8,000th in all competitions.

2003 - Reserves keeper Pegguy Arphexad joined Gary McAllister’s Coventry City having been released by the reds the month before. He made just five appearances for the Sky Blues before his contract expired in July 2004.

2005 - We fell behind to a goal from CSKA Moskva’s Velizar Dimitrov in Monaco, but a brace from substitute Djibril Cissé and a Luis García strike secured us the UEFA Super Cup for the third time, 3-1 after extra time, as we reached a century of goals under the stewardship of Rafael Benítez. The cup was lifted by stand-in skipper Jamie Carragher.

2006 - Daniel Agger scored his first reds goal, a superb long-range effort to level the scores in our 2-1 home defeat of West Ham United after Bobby Zamora had put the Hammers ahead in our fiftieth League meeting at Anfield. Dirk Kuyt made his debut as a second-half substitute after Peter Crouch had handed us the lead on the stroke of half time.

2007 – Argentine left-back Emiliano Insúa signed from Boca Juniors for £1.675m, having initially joined on loan seven months earlier. He made 62 senior appearances, netting his only goal in our Carling Cup defeat at Arsenal in October 2009. He joined Galatasaray on loan in August 2010, moving on to Sporting Clube de Portugal permanently a year later.

2010 - We won 2-1 at Trabzonspor in the second leg of our UEFA Europa League Play-off, to reach the group stage 3-1 on aggregate as Roy Hodgson achieved his fourth straight European victory. Teófilo Gutiérrez netted for the home side early on, before a late Remzi Giray Kaçar own goal and Dirk Kuyt strike handed us victory on the night

2011 - Alberto Aquilani joined AC Milan on loan, having spent the previous campaign with Juventus. He netted once in 25 games for the Rossoneri, before being sold to Fiorentina .

2012 – We were held to a 2-2 draw at Anfield by the reigning champions Manchester City, with Lucas having to go off early with a thigh injury. Martin Škrtel opened the scoring with a header, with Yaya Touré equalising before a Luis Suárez free-kick put us back in front. However, Carlos Tévez capitalised on a slack Škrtel back-pass to hand the visitors a share of the spoils, the most recent of his four goals past us to date. Andy Carroll made his 58th and last reds appearance, from off the bench.

2015 – Welsh winger Harry Wilson joined Crewe Alexandra on loan, going on to play seven times for the Alex. On the same day, ex-reds forward Nabil El Zhar rescinded his contract with Levante U.D. after ten strikes in 114 games for Los Granotes.

2016 – Nigerian forward Taiwo Awoniyi joined Nijmegen Eendracht Combinatie on loan, scoring three times in 21 games.

2021 – Midfielder Bobby Clark joined the reds from Newcastle United, signing pro terms the following February. The son of ex-Geordies midfielder Lee Clark, he played for the first team for the first time in our 4-0 defeat by Manchester United in Bangkok the following July.

[Crosby Nick]

Lots of good memories here!

1985 we were on a camping holiday in Brittany. Can remember my dad just about getting English radio in the car to tell us the score as we were playing football with a family of Ipswich fans.

1995 - this included one of my favourite Fowler goals. When he had that bleached hair and he flashed in a volley at the near post after a good break and cross from Rob Jones. Just a great finisher.

1997 - Riedle’s first goal for us. I was working in a pub during my summer holiday. Mainly doing a bit of waiting so kept mopping back to the kitchen where it was on the radio.

2000 - remember being so angry after this one! 3 up and cruising and me and my brother went out to do something with about 15 minutes to go. Came back to see on Teletext it was 3-4 and thought it was a joke!

2006 - Agger screamer. Think Kurt made a lively debut off the bench. I went to watch Fulham v Sheffield United in the afternoon which might be the worst game of top flight football I’ve ever seen!

2012 - after a tough start to the season we played well here. A great Suarez free kick. Think we led twice but they scored a late equaliser. First start for Sterling?

[paulrazor]

It is very interesting to see the two Leeds games in the early 60s there, one in the second division and then three years later in the top flight.

Bill Shankly and Don Revie managing the whole time. The 5-0 game the only noticeable names in the Leeds line up are Bremner and Charlton. However you can see in the 4-2 defeat a few years later that Revie has put his stamp on the team and in 1969 and 1974 they won the league.

In 1975 you can see then the team is in decline having narrowly failed to win the european cup.

1979- I am pretty sure I have seen some of them goals, Souness latching on to a long ball over the top, chesting it down and a nice cushioned volley into the keepers right hand corner, then Dalglish spinning away from his man to strike low and hard beyond the keeper.

1989- There were some highlights on the season review, most notable chance was in the last minute when John Aldridge smashed one against the post.

1995- Some lovely goals that day, as Nick mentioned, Robbie Fowler was in his bleach blonde hair phase.

1997- That was a lovely goal from Riedle, it was our 4th league game that season but our first win and a very impressive one too.

2000- I was playing golf that day and I was raging when I heard how we threw away a three goal lead, think my Dad gave out to my for cursing.

2005- Remember watching that having just recovered from a bad chest infection, watched this before heading to a mates 21st which sadly brings me to

2006- Had a great afternoon and was enjoying a street party in the evening when I got a call to say the mate whos 21st it was a year to the day earlier had been killed in a freak accident. He would have been 40 the other day, never got to grow old. Everytime I see that goal from Agger its very bitter sweet.

2010 - Trabzonspor, the game Roy Hodgson hailed as a famous win, he is actually the only Liverpool manager to win a match in Turkey. mad

That run in Europe that year has to be most boring run ever, I think I fell asleep watching this, of the 6 group games that followed I missed one, was bored in the other and fell asleep for at least 3

2012- Cracking game that, Martin sKrtel's header was one of the best headed goals I have seen, he absolutely mullered it, almost burst the net. Few silly mistakes let them back in, especially Skrtel's late back pass. Luis Suarez scored a belting free in that, as Nick mentioned it was the first league start for Raheem Sterling and he played very well.

1875 – Forward John Parkinson was born in Blackpool. He arrived from his hometown club in May 1899, but only played once before returning to the Seasiders in May 1900.

1921 - Centre-forward Danny Shone and outside-left Fred Hopkin both made their reds bows in our 3-0 defeat at Sunderland in a season starter, with the reds missing a last-minute penalty. Charlie Buchan bagged a brace, two of his 21 strikes in 27 games against us, with Harry Martin also on target.

1927 - We started the season with a 1-1 draw at Sheffield United with Willie Devlin bagging our goal and Harry Johnson netting the last of his seven strikes past us. This was Matt McQueen’s 200th game in charge of the reds.

1932 - Ted Crawford bagged a brace on his debut as we thumped Wolverhampton Wanderers 5-1, with Gordon Hodgson bagging his 150th League goal, and Dave Wright and Gordon Gunson also on the scoresheet in our opening game of the season. Centre-half Tom ‘Tiny’ Bradshaw played his hundredth reds game that day.

1938 - Scottish forward Bill Kinghorn debuted as we beat Chelsea 2-1 at Anfield in another season opener. Phil Taylor struck both our goals that day.

1947 – We lost 2-0 to Manchester United at Maine Road. John Morris grabbed the first of his seven goals against the reds, with Stan Pearson bagging one of his eleven.

1949 - The Goodison Merseyside Derby ended goalless.

1952 – Kevin Baron netted the only goal of Sheffield Wednesday’s visit to Anfield late on.

1955 – Billy Liddell bagged a brace as we beat Hull City 3-0 in L4, with Alan Arnell also scoring.

1960 – Kevin Lewis was on target as we drew 1-1 a Second Division match at Middlesbrough.

1966 - We lost 3-1 at Goodison with Tommy Smith nabbing our consolation. Sandy Brown bagged one of the Blues’ goals, becoming the first substitute to score in a derby. Alan Ball scored the first two of his eleven goals against the reds.

1968 – Another goalless Goodison Derby encounter, with Ian Callaghan making his 400th reds appearance.

1969 – We won 3-1 at Crystal Palace. Emlyn Hughes, Roger Hunt and Peter Thompson all scored.

1971 - Steve Harkness was born in Carlisle. He made his reds debut on his twentieth birthday, in our 1-0 League win over Queens Park Rangers at Anfield, when Dean Saunders struck his first reds goal. He went on to net three times in 139 games during nearly ten years at Anfield, before teaming up with Graeme Souness again at SL Benfica.

1973 - Dietmar Hamann was born in Waldasson in Bavaria. He made a total of 283 appearances for the reds, scoring eleven times as he helped us to claim the Champions League, UEFA Cup, two FA Cups, two UEFA Super Cups, two League Cups and the FA Charity Shield after signing from Newcastle United for £8m in July 1999. He moved on to both Bolton Wanderers and Manchester City in a bizarre transfer saga in July 2006 to bring his Anfield career to a close.

1974 - We faced Wolves, with Steve Heighway and John Toshack on target in our 2-0 win at Anfield. Alec Lindsay missed a penalty just three days after converting two in a 2-1 home defeat of Leicester City.

1977 – We beat West Bromwich Albion 3-0 at Anfield with Kenny Dalglish, Steve Heighway and Jimmy Case all on the scoresheet.

1980 - Kenny Dalglish did not play in our 1-0 defeat at Bradford City in a League Cup Second Round first leg encounter after 180 consecutive appearances ever since his arrival from Celtic, before returning for our 4-1 League defeat of Norwich City at Anfield three days later. However, he struck twice as we won the return 4-0 as we set off towards the Final.

1983 - Joe Fagan took charge of his first League game as we drew 1-1 at Wolverhampton Wanderers, with Ian Rush on the scoresheet. Alan Kennedy conceded a very early penalty against Andy Gray, converted by Geoffrey Palmer, and did the same later in the season after he had moved to Everton.

1984 - Paul Walsh scored just fourteen seconds into his Anfield debut as we kicked off our season against West Ham United. John Wark bagged a late brace to complete a 3-0 win.

1986 – Forward Nabil El Zhar was born in Alès, France. He joined the reds in October 2006, striking just once in 32 outings before joining Spanish side Levante U.D. in August 2011.

1988 - John Aldridge bagged a hat-trick as we beat Charlton Athletic 3-0 at Selhurst Park.

2001 - Sander Westerveld made his 103rd and final reds appearance as we lost 2-1 to Bolton Wanderers at the Reebok Stadium. He gifted Dean Holdsworth’s winner to the Trotters, the last of his four goals past us, after Emile Heskey had got us back into the game with an equaliser after Michael Ricketts had put the home side in front.

2003 - Right-back Markus Babbel joined Blackburn Rovers on loan, scoring three goals in 28 games. He had played 73 times for the reds, netting six times, and helping us to claim five trophies in 2001.

2003 – We were held to a goalless draw at Anfield by Tottenham Hotspur with Michael Owen having a goal disallowed.

2008 – Dirk Kuyt bagged the only goal late on in his hundredth reds game as we beat Standard de Liège after extra time in the second leg of our Champions League qualifier at Anfield to reach the group stages. This was the hundredth goal we had struck in Europe under Rafael Benítez, while future red Milan Jovanović featured as a late substitute for the visitors.

2011 - Jordan Henderson and Charlie Adam both struck their first reds goals either side of a Martin Škrtel header as we beat Bolton Wanderers 3-1 at Anfield, with Ivan Klasnić bagging the visitors’ late consolation.

2011 – Left-back Emiliano Insúa signed for Sporting Clube de Portugal after one goal in 62 reds games, having spent the previous season on loan with Galatasaray.

2013 – Moroccan winger Oussama Assaidi moved to Stoke City for the season, nabbing five goals in 25 outings. He had arrived at Anfield from SC Heerenveen for £2.4m a year earlier, failing to net in twelve reds games.

2013 – Young Spanish forward Luis Alberto made his reds bow as we beat Notts County 4-2 after extra time in our League Cup Second Round tie at Anfield. Raheem Sterling and Daniel Sturridge put us into a two-goal lead within half an hour, but County fought back in the second half. Sturridge netted a second before substitute Jordan Henderson made the game safe.

2014 – Swedish reserves winger Kristoffer Peterson was sold to Utrecht, netting twice in twenty games in his first season in the Netherlands. He had arrived at the Academy from Sävedalens IF in January 2011, scoring twice in pre-season for the first team in July 2014. On the same day, ex-red Xabi Alonso announced his retirement from international football after 114 caps for Spain.

2015 – Mario Balotelli re-joined AC Milan on loan after just four goals in 28 outings in his debut season with the reds, although half of these appearances came from the bench.

2016 – We drew 1-1 at Tottenham Hotspur as James Milner handed us the lead from the spot just before the break, with Danny Rose equalising.

2017 – We beat Arsenal 4-0 at Anfield, with Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mané on target before the break. Mohamed Salah and Daniel Sturridge completed the scoring.

2022 – We secured our joint record top-flight victory when we trounced Bournemouth 9-0, also the joint Premier League best for any side. Luis Díaz and Harvey Elliott both struck early on, with Trent Alexander-Arnold also bagging inside the first half hour. Roberto Firmino also netted before Virgil van Dijk nodded in on the stroke of half time. Chris Mepham put through his own net before Firmino reached a century of reds goals. Fábio Carvalho nabbed his first goal for the club with Díaz adding the ninth. Midfielders Stefan Bajčetić and Bobby Clark both came off their bench to make their senior bows.

2023 – Darwin Núñez came off the bench to bag a late brace as we came from behind to win 2-1 at Newcastle United in dramatic fashion, with the second goal being our 7,196th in the top flight, a new record. Boyhood red Anthony Gordon put the hosts in front, with skipper Virgil van Dijk being dismissed before the half-hour mark. Jarell Quansah replaced him to make his senior bow.

[Crosby Nick]

1988 - remember all the focus being on the returning Ian Rush who was on the bench. Aldridge reminding everyone he was still a brilliant goal scorer.

1991 - think that was Saunders first goal for us.

2001 - Westerveld had a mare for their winner. We then had an international break (that England 5-1 over Germany) and by the time we played again we’d signed not one, but two new keepers in Dudek and Kirkland.

2003 - an uninspiring 0-0 as our ropey start to the season continued.

2008 - that Standard Liege side was unexpectedly good. They have us a huge battle over two legs that we just scraped through.

2011 - I remember Henderson and Adam both scoring decent goals. Their Liverpool careers woukd go in very different trajectories!

2013 - being taken to extra time by Notts County didn’t bode well for our League game the next weekend against United. But actually we were fine. Probably just showed that we had a very decent first team that season, with not a lot of depth.

2016 - we played well away at a tough ground. Think we had slightly the better of it but either way was an encouraging result and performance.

2017 - what a statement win. Battered Arsenal and an early indication of what would turn out to be Klopp’s great side could do.

2022 - mad scoreline having had a bad start to the season. I remember anyone playing Fantasy Football bemoaning the fact Salah didn’t get a goal or assist which is pretty crazy!

2023 - absolute smash and grab having gone down to 10 and been in the ropes for an hour. One of those results that gets you absolutely bouncing and grinning for the rest of the day (and week).

1983- The wolves draw, Ian Rush’s goal set up brilliantly set up by Graeme Souness is here.
15:55 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-rRyn5DYV5I

1984- Paul Walsh famously scored on his debut after 14 seconds against West Ham. John Wark added two more, it was by far Wark’s best season with 27 goals, unfortunately his other seasons were disrupted by injury and team selection. With Graeme Souness leaving the team was slowly changing, Wark and Walsh were still pretty new to the team, Kevin McDonald and Jan Molby came in around that time and Steve McMahon joined a year later.

1988- 27th August seems very late for the season to start. John Aldridge scored two in the charity shield a week earlier and went one better today against Charlton, it was a perfect hat trick too. Aldridge scored a header from a John Barnes cross, the cross took a big bounce, I wonder if Barnes meant it, him and Aldridge had a telepathic understanding. A left footed finish came when he latched on to a long ball from Barry Venison, his first shot was saved by Charlton keeper Bob Bolder but Aldridge reacted first to score his second.
Aldridge added his hat trick when Beardsley and Barnes combined.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sFEwSM9LGOs the goals are here with extended highlights here
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z85xHgXDU4o

1991- Dean Saunders scores the first goal of his Liverpool career against QPR, following a British transfer record deal to sign from Derby. The goal is here
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MVtnubFTt0I

2001- The 2-1 defeat at Bolton is memorable for a last minute goal from Dean Holdsworth following a howler from Sander Westerveld, although many say this was the game that made minds up on his future, Westerveld said in later years even on the bus going to the ground he knew he was on the way out, following this Liverpool bought 2 new keepers in Jerzy Dudek and Chris Kirkland. The goals are here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9F9pA5dMbrg
Markus Babbel was withdrawn at half time, unfortunately he wouldn’t play again for a long time as it emerged he was suffering from Guillane Barre Syndrome, sadly his career with us was never the same.

2003- I heard we played alright that night, Igor Biscan at centre back I heard did well and loads raved about him here after, though not much footage of the game exists.

2011- That was a good day out, the 3-1 win over Bolton put us top of the table, Jordan Henderson scored his first goal, unfortunately we stayed nowhere near there. The goals are here

2013, the win over Notts county saw us win 4-2 and it went to extra time, it caused concern as I think Kolo Toure went off injured and Danny Agger had to play nearly 2 hours, it would lead to a recall for Martin Skrtel against Man united at the weekend.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1BNiko_i0uE some nice goals here

2016- That was a decent game, Danny Rose scored for them, I recall he said after going up against Sadio Mane was one of the hardest thing he ever did.
Extended highlights here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8nqecvt7byw

2017- Fantastic win over Arsenal, some brilliant goals too, Salah’s is kind of iconic, ran the risk of a boot in the face and darted clear to finish. Alex Oxlade Chamberlain was in the arsenal line up, he would sign for us shortly after and in one of his first games we lost 5-0 to City.
Here is a view of Salah running away for the third from the tunnel, different if nothing else

and all goals here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m9WhLv_Mjjc
Salahs goal https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NW1OYEbwRP4

2022- A massive 9-0 win over Bournemouth, as Nick said the amazing thing was for all them goals, Mo Salah didn’t even have one assist or goal.

2023- Was up the north coast, unfortunately had to leave when 1-0 down and down to ten men, however it turned on its head and I remember where I was I had a bad signal, I overheard something about a big end, I was in an arcade with the little man and I ran around going mad when we won.

1988 - remember all the focus being on the returning Ian Rush who was on the bench. Aldridge reminding everyone he was still a brilliant goal scorer.

1991 - think that was Saunders first goal for us.

2001 - Westerveld had a mare for their winner. We then had an international break (that England 5-1 over Germany) and by the time we played again we’d signed not one, but two new keepers in Dudek and Kirkland.

2003 - an uninspiring 0-0 as our ropey start to the season continued.

2008 - that Standard Liege side was unexpectedly good. They have us a huge battle over two legs that we just scraped through.

2011 - I remember Henderson and Adam both scoring decent goals. Their Liverpool careers woukd go in very different trajectories!

2013 - being taken to extra time by Notts County didn’t bode well for our League game the next weekend against United. But actually we were fine. Probably just showed that we had a very decent first team that season, with not a lot of depth.

2016 - we played well away at a tough ground. Think we had slightly the better of it but either way was an encouraging result and performance.

2017 - what a statement win. Battered Arsenal and an early indication of what would turn out to be Klopp’s great side could do.

2022 - mad scoreline having had a bad start to the season. I remember anyone playing Fantasy Football bemoaning the fact Salah didn’t get a goal or assist which is pretty crazy!

2023 - absolute smash and grab having gone down to 10 and been in the ropes for an hour. One of those results that gets you absolutely bouncing and grinning for the rest of the day (and week).

Re 1991  It Was Dean's 1st Goal also - Steve Harkness 1st Game .
