1892 - We played our first ever competitive fixture, trouncing Higher Walton 8-0 in a Lancashire League fixture at Anfield, in front of a crowd of just 300. John Smith, Joe McQue and James Cameron all netted braces, with Malcolm McVean and John McBride also notching. West Derby-born Joe Pearson was the only non-Scot in this ‘Team of the Macs’.

1894 – Winger Patrick Gordon netted his eighth and final reds goal in our 3-3 top-flight draw at Burnley. Hugh McQueen and Harry Bradshaw also scored.

1895 – We faced Celtic for the first time in our history, winning an Anfield friendly 2-0 thanks to goals from George Allan and Frank Becton. Tommy Morrison from the visitors was sent off in the second half for dissent.

1898 - We stepped out in red for the first time, as we beat The Wednesday 4-0 at Anfield, with centre-half Alex Raisbeck making his debut. We had played in blue and white quartered shirts until then. Left-half Bill Goldie bagged his first reds goal with Hugh Morgan, John Walker and Tommy Robertson also on the scoresheet that day.

1904 – Glossop held us to a 2-2 draw in a Second Division meeting at home, with Arthur Goddard and Joe Hewitt on target.

1910 - We kicked off the season with a defeat, when Jimmy Stewart nabbed our consolation as Bradford City won 2-1 at Anfield. Reserves custodian Augustus Beeby had to step in between the sticks due to Sam Hardy’s damaged wrist.

1921 – Billy Matthews and **** Forshaw netted as we beat Sunderland 2-1 in L4, before Charlie Buchan grabbed one of his 21 goals past us.

1927 – Aston Villa held us to a goalless draw at Anfield.

1932 - Centre-half Tom ‘Tiny’ Bradshaw grabbed the first of his four reds goals in our 4-3 defeat at Newcastle United. Gordon Hodgson scored from the spot with Ted Crawford bagging his fourth and final reds goal, our 2,000th in top-flight football, as right-back Willie Steel put through his own net for one of the Geordies’ goals. Tommy Lang scored one of his four goals past us, with Jack Allen scoring the last of his five and Harry McMenemy also on the scoresheet.

1937 - Left-half Tommy Leishman was born in Stenhousemuir. He had won the Scottish Cup with St. Mirren, signing for £10,000 in November 1949. He helped us back to the First Division in 1962, although he then only made eleven top-flight appearances before returning north of the border, to Hibernian, in January 1963 after a total of seven goals in 118 reds games, including our first ever League Cup strike.

1938 – We lost 1-0 at Preston North End.

1947 - Gérard Houllier was born in Therouanne in France. He was appointed as joint Manager alongside Roy Evans in July 1998, taking over sole charge four months later. He led us to the UEFA Cup, FA Cup, two League Cups, UEFA Super Cup and FA Charity Shield before leaving by mutual consent in May 2004. He then went on to lead Olympique Lyonnais to two straight League titles.

1947 - We entertained Manchester United, with Albert Stubbins on target in our 2-2 top-flight draw and Jack Balmer converting a penalty. Cyril Sidlow saved a spot-kick taken by United’s Jack Rowley. Stan Pearson bagged one of his eleven strikes past us, with Charlie Mitten netting one of his five.

1949 – Albert Stubbins struck twice as we won 2-1 at Arsenal, before Doug Lishman bagged the first of his four goals against the reds late on.

1952 - We played the Owls, beating Sheffield Wednesday 2-0 at Hillsborough thanks to goals from Kevin Baron and Billy Liddell.

1955 - Molyneux made his reds bow as we drew 3-3 at Blackburn Rovers. Alan Arnell struck a brace with Billy Liddell also on target for the reds. Eddie Crossan bagged a brace for the home side, with Bob Langton also on target.

1956 - We drew 1-1 at Upton Park in a Second Division meeting, with Billy Liddell on the scoresheet. Forward John Evans made his hundredth reds appearance in this game. Future Manchester United boss Frank O’Farrell struck for the home side.

1958 – Scottish inside-forward Tom Miller died. He netted 56 times in 146 reds games after signing from Hamilton Academical for £400 in February 1912, including an appearance in the 1914 FA Cup Final. However, he is also remembered as being one of the players caught up in the Manchester United match-rigging scandal of 1915, whom he joined in September 1920.His brother John was on the reds books alongside him immediately after the First World War.

1958 - Inside-forward Alan Banks scored on his reds debut as we thumped Brighton & Hove Albion 5-0 in a home Second Division fixture, with Alan Arnell nabbing a brace and Jimmy Harrower and right-back John Molyneux also netting. Outside-right Fred Morris also made his reds bow that day.

1960 - We entertained the Brighton & Hove Albion , with Jimmy Harrower on target twice in a 2-0 victory.

1962 - Our other trip to face the Hammers on this day in history ended in defeat, with winger Tony Scott nabbing the only goal of the game.

1963 - Our City Ground encounter ended goalless, as we started this title-winning season with just three points from our opening four fixtures.

1964 - 1980’s Irish reserve midfielder Ken DeMange was born in Dublin. He never made a senior appearance while at Anfield, despite winning full international honours during that time.

1966 - Centre-half John Nicholson died in a car crash, just one day after his thirtieth birthday. He signed with the reds as a professional in January 1957, but only played one senior game before joining Port Vale in August 1961, playing over 200 games for them.

1966 - Geoff Strong netted as we held West Ham United to a draw in the East End, with Geoff Hurst on the scoresheet for the Irons, one of his nine goals against us. Tommy Smith reached a century of reds outings in this match.

1969 – Ex-reds keeper Bert Slater put through his own net as we won a League Cup Second Round tie 2-1 at Watford, with Ian St. John bagging the winner, the club’s 5,000th goal in all competitions.

1977 - Ray Kennedy reached a century of League appearances for the reds, scoring the only goal very early on at Birmingham City.

1977 - Phil Brazier was born in Liverpool. The defender skippered us to victory in the FA Youth Cup in 1996.

1983 - Phil Neal had a penalty saved, although we were still able to beat Nottingham Forest at Anfield thanks to an Ian Rush goal. We have faced Forest twice more on this day in history in the top flight.

1985 - Ronnie Whelan bagged a brace as we beat Nottingham Forest 2-0 at Anfield.

1985 - Former second choice keeper Scott Carson was born in Whitehaven. He made just nine senior reds appearances following his arrival from Leeds United for £750,000 in January 2005, but only managed to keep two clean sheets. He was sold to West Bromwich Albion for £3.25m in July 2008, after seasons on loan at first Charlton Athletic and then Aston Villa.

1986 – We lost 2-1 at Leicester City. Kenny Dalglish netted a late consolation after future red Gary McAllister and Russell Osman had scored.

1988 - Our game on this day came when Jan Mølby netted the only goal of our home fixture with Manchester United from the spot, with Nigel Spackman also hitting the woodwork.

1993 - Reserves forward Lee Jones joined Crewe Alexandra on loan, netting once in eight appearances.

1995 – Right-winger Alex Muir died. He signed from Lochgelly Violet in July 1947, the same club that Billy Liddell was signed from. He only played four senior games before joining South Liverpool in 1949.

2001 - Liverpool agreed a deal to sign Le Havre’s two young gems, Anthony Le Tallec and Florent Sinama-Pongolle, for a combined £6m fee, although they would remain in France for another two years. Sinama-Pongolle bagged nine goals in 66 reds games, while his compatriot netted just once in 32 games, and neither remains with the club.

2002 – Forward Layton Stewart was born in Liverpool. He has been with the reds since the age of seven, signing as a professional in February 2020, having made it onto the first-team bench in our League Cup tie at Aston Villa two months earlier.

2003 – Keeper Harvey Davies was also born in Liverpool. He has been with the reds since the age of nine, featuring on the bench in four UEFA Champions League fixtures during 2020/21 and the following campaign.

2008 – Future reds First Team Coach Kevin Keen was appointed Caretaker Manager at West Ham for the second time after Alan Curbishley’s resignation. He was in charge for just one game, a 3-2 defeat at West Bromwich Albion before Gianfranco Zola took over.

2018 – Left-back Andy Robertson was appointed captain of Scotland. On the same day, Jordan Henderson signed a new contract with the reds.

2020 – Neco Williams debuted for Wales as they won a UEFA Nations League group game 1-0 in Finland, with Harry Wilson also featuring.

2023 – We beat Aston Villa 3-0 at Anfield in what was Jürgen Klopp’s 300th League game in charge. Dominik Szoboszlai opened the scoring early on with his first goal for the club, before Matty Cash deflected a Darwin Núñez strike that had come back off the post into his own net. Mohamed Salah scored in his 150th different game for the reds after the break to complete the scoring.

1891 - Forward Fred Pagnam was born in Poulton-le-Fylde, Lancashire. He signed from Blackpool in May 1914, and so could only bag thirty goals in 39 reds games before joining Arsenal in October Nineteeen Nineteen , with whom he kept up his remarkable strike-rate.

1897 - We kicked off our season with a 2-2 draw against Stoke, with inside-forward Willie Walker scoring on his reds bow and Frank Becton also on the scoresheet.

1901 – Inside-forward Tommy Green signed from New Brighton Tower, notching once in seven outings before joining Swindon Town in April 1903.

1905 - The reds helped Chelsea to open Stamford Bridge, taking part in the first ever game played there. Unfortunately, we started as we meant to continue at the Bridge, losing 4-0 in a friendly encounter.

1909 - We visited Chelsea again, with outside-left John McDonald and inside-right Jimmy Stewart making their reds bows as we lost 2-1 in a season opener, with Joe Hewitt nabbing our consolation. George Hilsdon’s penalty was the last of his five goals against the reds, with Jimmy Windridge also netting.

1911 - We lost 2-1 at Bolton Wanderers in a top-flight meeting, with Jack Parkinson grabbing our consolation and John Bovill and half-back Harry Lowe both debuting. Alf Bentley struck one of his four goals against the reds, with Harold Hilton also scoring.

1920 - Tommy Browell scored a hat-trick for Manchester City in their 3-2 defeat of the reds at Hyde Road, three of his seven goals past us. Harry Chambers and Walter Wadsworth netted our goals.

He was the father of 1990’s reds striker Dean and died in January 2009.

1933 - We left the Victoria Ground with a share of the spoils, with Harold Taylor netting as we drew 1-1 with Stoke City, as they were known by then. Forward Jack ‘Nipper’ Roberts made his only senior reds outing in this game, while Harry Davies nabbed his fourth and final goal past us.

1988 - Midfielder Ryan Flynn was born in Falkirk. He was awarded with a full-time contract at Melwood in the summer of 2006 having impressed in the previous season’s victorious FA Youth Cup campaign, including notching a goal in the Final.

2010 – Jamie Carragher’s testimonial took place at Anfield in front of more than 35,000, with the reds beating an Everton side 4-1.

2020 – Virgil van Dijk and Andy Robertson both captained their countries in UEFA Nations League group games, with ex-reds coach Steve Clarke taking charge of Scotland as they were held 1-1 by Israel at Hampden Park.

Sept 1

Some fairly hefty defeats there, 1-8 and 0-7, OUCH

1984-  1-1 at home to QPR

QPR had a handy team back then, their keeper Peter Hucker is one of the few people to save a Jan Molby penalty and the previous season also saved one from Phil Neal.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QTtQlcTvR1c, brief highlights of the 84-85 game here although Liverpools goal is now shown

1990 Liverpool 2 aston villa 1

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fyr8ppdje_g  the goals are here including a stunning late winner from John Barnes

1992- 1-1 at home to Southampton

Largely forgettable game with Mark Wright scoring his first goal for us against one of his former clubs

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vz4b_V516KI  brief highlights from 43:46

1993- lost 1-0 to Coventry,
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RrMwN7v_0UQ  12:15 in

Rob Jones is sent off, the season already starts to unravel and Phil Babb scores the only goal, the narrator in the above clip mistakenly lists it as John Williams.


2007- Walloped Derby 6-0, one of them days you knew even in the build up it would be a good day. Derby were hopeless that season, I think they won 1 league game all season. Rafa Benitez takes us top for the first time.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ViPwoLnz40

2013- For the third straight time Liverpool win 1-0 that season thanks to Daniel Sturridge, a positive start to a great season. United began the struggle without Alex Ferguson.

I was late to a neices birthday by about 10 minutes. Mrs is one of them people who goes nuts if I am 10 mins late but her being 2 hours late is fine of course.

85th min she phones me as I am watching
"I am coming to pick you up, leave the pub now"
"no I am driving and not drinking, remember? I dont need a lift"
"how longs left"
"5 mins plus injury time, so maybe 10"
"right well im coming to pick you up"
"i will just meet you there"
"I am coming to pick you up, be ready"
"erm, 5 mins to go 1up against united? NO"
"you better be ready, I am coming to pick you up"
"well good luck with that"

Needless to say I didnt budge

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T1b8DSktb08

2018- Won 2-1 at Leicester, First goal Alisson becker conceded and he made an absolute howler

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IWnh0V3fLmQ

[paulrazor]

2nd September

1961- That is a brilliant story about the transport issue facing the team

1978- Spurs got whipped 7-0, Terry McDermotts goal is legendary. one of them days everything goes right, got every lucky bounce and deflection, even when Phil Neal missed a penalty he was let retake it to score. The miss is not shown here but all the goals are. Terry McDermott began that move in his own 6 yard box, some unreal balls too by Johnson and Heighway and Mcdermott finished it off in style

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3j-zCBIOzl8

2002- Drew 2-2 at home to Newcastle. Speed and Shearer with late goals, I think Michael Owen missed a shit load of chances to put the game out of sight and we paid for it.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kxn4bTm5O0E 10.35 in

2012- Lost 2-0 at home to Arsenal, was on way home from a stag, played off the pitch

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3qRhcCvdfxA

[Crosby Nick]

Yeah that 2002 game was so frustrating. We actually played really well but missed a load of chances as you say. Hamann scored with a bit of a solo goal weirdly I think. We went 2 up but missed further chances and then out of nowhere they scored two. Quite the sickener.

Weirdly it happened a week or so later against Birmingham (first anniversary of 9/11 I think!). And then weirdly it happened a third time away at Bolton before Heskey then scored a later winner. Guess we’ll see those pop up in the next couple of weeks.

[paulrazor]

1983
September 3

1-0 vs Nottingham forest at home, very straight forward back to front goal from Ian Rush
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qC9NsDwCGjs

1985
2-0 vs Forest this time although due to a tv dispute and strike over football rights it is hard to find footage, even if there is any

1986 A surprise 2-1 defeat at Leicester with extensive highlights here

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BTF8kHZ-cVo

1988 We beat United 1-0 at Anfield thanks to a Jan Molby penalty while John Barnes has a field day, Nigel Spackman comes close to his first Liverpool goal on a few occasions

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jr6mqx5717M

2022- A 0-0 draw at Goodison, missed the game as I went the cinema, cant even remember the film, probably some Minions thing. Conor Coady has a goal disallowed late on, hilariously calling it one of the highlights of his career

2023- A straight forward 3-0 over An Aston Villa side who went on to have a fine season. Dominick Szoboszlai scored his first goal in an impressive start to the season for him

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9b-mblOMbc8

[paulrazor]

Sept 4th

Scott Carson birthday, he featured in one game in our 2005 european cup run, 18 years later he got a medal in the same competition for Man City. So like Daniel Sturridge and Xherdan Shaqiri he has won the Champions league with us and another club despite none of them playing a minute in the final. Sturridge was an unused sub for Chelsea in 2012 and Shaqiri for Bayern a year later.

1982. A 2-0 at Arsenal courtesy of two pretty good goals from David Hodgson and Phil Neal
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PEkfWGBfGgQ

1996- Liverpool win 1-0 at Coventry, first away win there since 1990. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T89x2P7lKO8 Phil Babb ironically scores against his old club, his only ever goal for Liverpool in the same fixture he had scored the winner in against us for Coventry 3 years earlier almost to the day

2010- Carragher scored for both teams in his testomonial, the everton penalty awarded for no reason other than to allow him to do it, An everton player literally threw himself to the floor with no one else in a 10 yard radius. but all for a good cause

[paulrazor]

Yeah that 2002 game was so frustrating. We actually played really well but missed a load of chances as you say. Hamann scored with a bit of a solo goal weirdly I think. We went 2 up but missed further chances and then out of nowhere they scored two. Quite the sickener.

Yeah we started that season ok, it was like Houllier let the shackles off a bit but it soon reverted to safety first tactics

We had three 2-2 draws around then, all of which we lead late on including 2 games we lead 2-0.

As you say it ended with a 3-2 win at Bolton.

Michael Owen got a lot of stick in that part of the season but a short time later hit two brilliant hat tricks at Man City and Spartak Moscow to shut people up

Sydney Smith (1903)
Johnny Morrissey (1959)



1892 - W. MacArthur scored a first-half hat-trick as Middlesbrough Ironopolis beat us 5-0 at their Paradise Ground in a friendly.

1895 – Scottish outside-right Neil Kerr was sold to Nottingham Forest after three goals in twelve outings since arriving from Rangers in June 1894.

1896 - Referee C.E. Sutcliffe disallowed SIX goals in our First Division match at Blackburn Rovers, still a League record. He only permitted one strike to count, unfortunately scored by Rovers’ Jim Stuart. Inside-forward Willie Michael made his debut as a replacement for Harry Bradshaw who was “suffering from an old injury to his ear.”

1903 - Sydney Smith scored on his reds debut, although we lost 2-1 at Nottingham Forest in our season opener, with forward Fred Buck and right-back John Chadburn also making their reds bows. Grenville Morris netted one of his six goals past us, with Alf Spouncer also on target.

1908 - We also beat the Blues at Anfield by the same score, when Ronald Orr grabbed a brace and George Hilsdon bagged one of his five goals against the reds.

1914 – Arthur Metcalf was on target as we drew 1-1 with Notts County at Anfield.

1923 – We lost 2-1 at Birmingham City. Moses Lane struck before John Bradford scored one of his fifteen past us. Jimmy Walsh struck our consolation.

1925 - We were held to a goalless draw at Anfield by the Hammers.

1928 - We also faced the Blades, losing our top-flight meeting at Anfield 2-1, with **** Edmed nabbing our consolation. Scottish-born South African international left-back Jimmy Gray played his only reds game. Fred Tunstall bagged one of his eight goals past us, with Thomas Boyle also on target.

1931 – We beat Aston Villa 2-0 in L4, with Dave Wright bagging a brace.

1934 - Centre-half Norman Low debuted in our 2-1 home win over Manchester City, deputising for Tom Bradshaw. Sam English and Gordon Hodgson netted our goals, with the latter missing his first spot-kick for the reds, while Fred Tilson struck one of his six goals against us.

1936 - Charlton Athletic played their first ever home game in the First Division as we held them to a 1-1 draw at The Valley, with Alf Hanson on the scoresheet.

1938 – Scottish centre-half Thomas ‘Tiny’ Bradshaw was sold to Third Lanark for £600. He had signed from Bury for £8,000 in January 1930, netting four times in 291 reds games.

1942 - Cyril Done bagged a treble as we beat Wrexham 4-0 in a Wartime League game at Anfield. Dickie Dorsett struck the other.

1951 - We held the Gunners to a goalless draw at Highbury.

1953 – Inside-forward Harold Jones made his only senior appearance in our 5-1 thumping at Anfield by Preston North End. Bill Jones scored our goal, with Tom Finney netting a treble for the visitors, the last of his five goals against the reds. Charlie Wayman scored one of his six past us, with Gordon Kaile also scoring for PNE.

1959 - Winger Johnny Morrissey nabbed his first reds goal as we suffered a 2-1 Second Division defeat at Sheffield United when we conceded two penalties inside three minutes, both converted by Graham Shaw.

1964 - Peter Thompson and Roger Hunt were on the scoresheet as we were held to a 2-2 draw by Blackpool in L4, with Ray Charnley bagging a brace for the visitors, two of his eight goals past us.

1966 - The same reds players netted as we won 2-1 at Bloomfield Road. Willie Stevenson had a penalty saved by Blackpool goalkeeper Alan Taylor shortly after Bobby Waddell had equalised, but Hunt grabbed a late winner.

1967 - We travelled to the City Ground again, with Emlyn Hughes bagging the only goal of the game, as Gerry Byrne played his 300th reds game.

1970 – Alun Evans equalised as we were held to a 1-1 draw at Anfield by Manchester United. Brian Kidd headed in the first of his six goals against the reds.

1972 – Keeper Frank Lane played his second and final reds game as we drew a League Cup second Round tie 1-1 at Carlisle United with Kevin Keegan bagging our goal. We won the replay, eventually being knocked out by Tottenham Hotspur in the Fifth Round.

1980 – Left-back Brian Kettle moved on to Wigan Athletic. He signed for the reds in May 1973 but only made four senior appearances as his route to the first team was blocked first by Alec Lindsay, then Joey Jones and Alan Kennedy.

1981 - Terry McDermott and David Johnson were on the scoresheet as we beat Arsenal 2-0 at Anfield.

1987 - John Aldridge was on target from the spot as we left Upton Park with a 1-1 draw, with Tony Cottee equalising for the home side, one of his eight goals against the reds.

1988 – Turkish international midfield loanee signing Nuri Şahin was born in Lüdenscheid, Germany. He joined for the season from Real Madrid in August 2012, netting three times in twelve games before re-joining Ballspielverein Borussia 09 e.V. Dortmund on loan in January 2013.

1992 - We beat Chelsea 2-1 at Anfield, our most recent League game on this day in history. Dean Saunders, who headed us in front, injured Paul Elliott in a challenge that ended his career, for which Deano was later unsuccessfully sued. Jamie Redknapp netted our last-minute winner after Mick Harford’s equaliser, the last of his six goals past us, while this was Saunders’ 61st and final reds game before moving to Aston Villa.

2011 - Andrew Parkinson started work as the club’s Operations Director. He is the great grandson of pre-First World War forward Jack Parkinson.

2020 – Harvey Elliott and Sepp van den Berg both bagged their first reds goals as we thumped Blackpool 7-2 in a behind-closed-doors friendly at Anfield. Joël Matip, Sadio Mané, Roberto Firmino, Takumi Minamino and Divock Origi all also got on the scoresheet.

1987- A sewer had collapsed under the Kop so Liverpool's first three home games were postponed, following away wins over League cup champions Arsenal and Fa Cup winners Coventry city, Liverpool played their third consecutive away game, they had yet to play at Anfield.

Here it was a West Ham side who had pushed us hard for the title in 1986. I watched highlights of this a good while back here
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FaVdk1KM0gI

and we absolutely batter them. However a combination of poor finishing, the woodwork and some inspired keeping from Tom Mcallister meant Liverpool were just 1-0 up late on after a penalty from John Aldridge. At 1-0 you are never home and hosed and with 15 minutes left Tony Cottee took advantage of a short back pass from Alan Hansen to make it 1-1.

https://www.lfchistory.net/SeasonArchive/Game/1592

the guardian match report summarises the game and season well, Liverpool had dropped points but there was no question their quality was there to be seen. They may have ended the day in 9th spot, 9 points off the lead but every single team above them had played three games more. the season was only starting.

Incidentally this was one of the few times and possibly the last time Liverpool wore this variation of kit. A sleak all grey away kit had been produced, in our last season to be sponsored by crown paints, the lettering of the sponsor initially was white but was difficult to see on a grey back round.

The same template of jersey was used but the lettering was recolured red to make the sponsor more visible. Both versions were stunning.

[Crosby Nick]

That was one of the first kits I had (must have been with the red sponsor trim) and I thought I looked so good in it. Made me play like John Barnes too.

1992- Liverpool 2 Chelsea 1


Liverpool recorded only their second league win of the season. Following three draws, one win and two losses in 6 games it took a late winner from Jamie Redknapp to down chelsea.

Before and after the match the talk was all about Dean Saunders. The Welsh man had only been at Anfield just over a year but it was likely to be his last game and it was. A move to Aston Villa was nearly done but Saunders would have a chance to say goodbye.

Saunders headed the games opening goal and tagged supporters en route to the half way line, in the second half Mick Harford levelled for Chelsea but an absolutely horrendous error from Chelsea keeper Dave Beasant allowed Jamie Redknapp to score the winner.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AIvyFlD0uq0

the games goals are here.

However the big talking point was 5 minutes before Saunders scored he should have been sent off, as tackles flew in on the half way line Chelsea defender Paul Elliott perhaps needlessly went to ground, in the clip above the first angle looks horrendous as Saunders (perhaps noticing Elliott's lunge) decides to get his retaliation in first with a very bad challenge of his own.

I believe Liverpool were actually awarded the free and Elliott was booked, however the Chelsea defender was clearly in absolute agony and left the field on a stretcher, he never played football again, 18 months later on the eve of an Fa Cup final against Man United, Elliott announced his retirement.

From the above link, the initial footage doesnt look good for Saunders, but the replay shows the view looking towards the Kop and Elliott's own challenge looks wreckless, he lunges wildly himself and both feet are off the ground. Both players launched in and one got off worse than the other. I dont think Elliott was 100% innocent but he didnt deserve that injury.

https://www.lfchistory.net/images/newspapers/riley/19920905vChelsea.pdf

Indeed both match reports here, one describes Saunders challenge as "brutal, if accidental" while the guardian report although mentioning Elliott, fails to mention Saunders role.

Elliott took legal action against both Liverpool and Saunders and attempted to win £1 million in damages but he lost the case with Liverpool arguing Elliott had made a dangerous lunging tackle of his own.

The case was settled in June 1994, shortly after Elliott retired.

No league game on this day for 32 years? That's a bit mad. There wasn't always internationals in early September was there?

Liverpool – New Brighton Tower 4-1 (2-1).
Attendance: Approx 3,000.
Referee: Mr.E. Ramsbottem.
LIVERPOOL (2-3-5): Willie Donnelly, Tom Wilkie, Billy Dunlop, John McCartney (Captain ), Joe McQue, Thomas Cleghorn, Robert Marshall, William Walker, Patrick Finnerhan, Frank Becton, Joe Lumsden.
NEW BRIGHTON TOWER (2-3-5): Jack Robinson, Gow, Smart Arridge, Tom Allison, George Anderson, Charles McEleney, Hamilton, Josh Hargreaves, Henderson, Harry Hammond, Alf Milward.
THE GOALS: 1-0 Finnerhan (20 min.), 1-1 Hammond, 2-1 Becton, 3-1 Becton, 4-1 (see special note).
NOTE: It is impossible to clearly say who scored the fourth goal for Liverpool. None of the Liverpool paper’s give any clear view on the matter. Mercury, above, says the goal came from a return from the goalkeeper after Lumsden’s shot. Daily Post claim it was rushed through from a “scrimmage,” Courier says that the Liverpool forwards rushed in the fourth goal from a scrimmage. The “scrimmage” mentioned is quite often used in match reports in the old days. So either Marshall, Walker, Finnerhan or Becton scored it.

Bill Keech (1948 )



1892 - Scottish keeper Ken Campbell was born in Cambuslang, near Glasgow. He signed from Cambuslang Rangers in May 1911 and took over from Sam Hardy in the reds goal, playing 142 times including the 1914 FA Cup Final, before being replaced after the war by the great Elisha Scott. On exactly the same day, outside-left Albert Pearson was born in Tynemouth. He netted four times in 51 reds games after signing from Port Vale in March 1919, returning there two years later.

1893 – Hugh McQueen netted the only goal of our Anfield friendly meeting with Newton Heath, as Manchester United were then known.

1902 - Inside-right George Livingstone scored on his reds bow as we beat Blackburn Rovers 5-2 at Anfield in our first game of the season, with Sam Raybould and Jack Cox both grabbing braces. Inside-forward Edgar Chadwick also debuted in this game, with Walter Whittaker nabbing two of his six goals against the reds.

1909 – We won 2-1 at Bolton Wanderers with Jack Parkinson nabbing a brace, including his fiftieth League goal for the reds.

1913 - Danny Shea scored four of his ten goals against the reds as Blackburn Rovers thumped us 6-2 at Ewood Park, with Tom Miller netting both our goals and Bob Ferguson missing a penalty for the reds. Eddie Latheron also scored for the home side with Billy Bradshaw converting from the spot.

1919 – We beat Bradford City 2-1 in L4 with Fred Pagnam and Donald McKinlay both scoring.

1920 – We were held to a goalless draw by West Bromwich Albion in a top-flight encounter at Anfield. Inside-forward Tom Miller played his 146th and last game for the club.

1922 - We beat Sunderland 5-1 at Anfield thanks to a Harry Chambers brace and goals from **** Johnson and Donald McKinlay, with **** Forshaw netting in his hundredth reds game while Charlie Buchan bagged one of his 21 goals against the reds.

1924 – We lost 2-0 at Arsenal with Harry Woods scoring the last two of his five goals against the reds.

1930 - Robert Done scored from the spot with Gordon Hodgson and **** Edmed also on target in a 3-3 top-flight draw at Middlesbrough's Ayresome Park .Bobby Bruce bagged one of his five goals past us, with Freddie Warren and Billy Pease also on the scoresheet as right-half Tom Morrison reached a century of reds outings.

1947 – Jack Balmer struck as Burnley drew 1-1 at Anfield.

1948 – Half-back Bill Keech died. He played just six Second Division games in late 1895, having signed from Barnsley St. Peter’s that October, helping us to claim the title that season. He later played as a forward for Leicester Fosse, before returning to the half-back line with Queens Park Rangers’ first professional team in the Southern League.

1950 – George Kay took charge of the reds for the 300th time in the League as we defeated Tottenham Hotspur 2-1 in L4 with Albert Stubbins and Jack Balmer on the scoresheet.

1952 – Kevin Baron and Jack Smith both struck inside the opening ten minutes as we won 2-0 at Manchester City.

1954 – Centre-half Laurie Hughes played his 200th League game for the reds as we lost a Second Division fixture 3-0 at Bristol Rovers. Geoff Bradford netted the first three of his five goals past us.

1958 - Jimmy Harrower nabbed our consolation as Middlesbrough won a Second Division encounter 2-1, thanks to a Brian Clough brace, two of his ten goals against the reds.

1965 - ‘Sir’ Roger Hunt netted a treble in our 5-1 win at West Ham United, after Gordon Milne and Ian Callaghan had opened the scoring. Martin Peters scored for the Irons, one of his fourteen goals past us, with all the goals coming before the hour mark.

1969 – We beat Coventry City 2-1 at home. Ian St. John scored, with Geoff Strong netting a stoppage-time winner.

1975 – Ray Kennedy headed in the only goal of Sheffield United’s visit to L4.

1976 - We lost 1-0 in a League Cup Second Round replay at The Hawthorns, with Irish midfielder Mick Martin bagging the decisive goal.

1980 – We drew 1-1 at Birmingham City with Kenny Dalglish on target.

1983 – Southampton held us to a 1-1 draw at Anfield. Ian Rush netted before Mick Mills equalised late on with a free-kick from close to the touchline.

1985 - Steve McMahon signed from Aston Villa for £375,000, becoming the first arrival direct from Villa Park. He was Kenny Dalglish’s first signing, winning three League titles, the FA Cup and two FA Charity Shields before joining Manchester City in December 1991 after fifty goals in 277 games.

1986 - We hammered the Hammers on their home turf when substitute Kenny Dalglish struck twice in a 5-2 victory, with Ronnie Whelan, Craig Johnston and Ian Rush also on target. Future reds first-team coach Kevin Keen made his senior debut for the Hammers in this game. Ray Stewart put the home side in front inside ten minutes, with Tony Cottee bagging the first of his eight goals against the reds.

1988 - Jimmy Ryan was born in Maghull. The central midfielder joined League Two outfit Accrington Stanley in August 2008, having featured in both of our recent victorious FA Youth Cup campaigns, but failed to break into the first–team squad.

2000 - Michael Owen scored a first half hat-trick past former team-mate David James as we defeated Aston Villa 3-1 at Anfield.

2003 – Inside-forward Harold Jones died. He joined the reds in January 1952, but only made one senior appearance in a 5-1 thumping at Anfield by Preston North End in September 1953. He moved on to Rhyl in June 1954.

2013 Neil Critchley was appointed Under-18’s Coach at the Academy. He moved up to the Under-23’s, leaving to take over as Head Coach of Blackpool March 2020

2020 – Neco Williams struck for Wales for the first time, the only goal of their UEFA Nations League group games against Bulgaria in Cardiff. Thiago Alcântara appeared for Spain for the last time before moving to Anfield as they thumped Ukraine 4-0 in Madrid, with future red Ozan Kabak and ex-reds Emre Can and Péter Gulácsi also playing in the same competition

No league game on this day for 32 years? That's a bit mad. There wasn't always internationals in early September was there?

might have been friendlies around that time

certainly the number of club games has dwindled around this time in more recent years

That was one of the first kits I had (must have been with the red sponsor trim) and I thought I looked so good in it. Made me play like John Barnes too.

A fella walked into a 5 a side with the white one on one night

I was drooling (at the kit rather than him)

[paulrazor]

1893- Manchester United as mentioned were then known as Newton Heath, first person that ever told me this was a school teacher I knew, the last I heard he had been convicted of Noncing (my brother said even before that, he was such a bastard he would happily piss on his grave)

1965, A thumping win at a West Ham team, managed by future England manager Ron Greenwood and containing their famous trio of Peters, Hurst and Moore all of whom helped England win the world cup a year later, Moore as captain with Peters scoring once and Hurst scoring thrice. Bet you never knew that......................... West Ham had also just won the Cup Winners cup the previous year.

1983- Southampton were a decent team and held us to a 1-1 draw, they would finish runners up that season with a team which included Mark Wright. Unfortunately I cant find any footage

1986- A thumping win at West ham by 5 goals to 2. Kenny Dalglish coming on as sub helped himself to two. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7FFlX75Oics highlights here, how lovely is that away kit

2000- A brilliant first half hat trick from Owen sees off Aston villa 3-1

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nNPiOC5wD4k footage from 6:20 including the signing of Christian ziege

[Crosby Nick]

I was at that Villa game. One of the first starts for Djimi Traore I think! Heskey combined so well with Owen, I’m sure he had a hand in all the goals.

1st Game in charge for manager John McKenna ( 1895 )

Scored 1st LFC Goal On This Day

Bill Jones (1946)
Mark Walters(1991)



1895 – John McKenna took charge of the reds for the first time as left-back Tom Wilkie and forward Fred Geary both debuted in our season-opening 3-2 defeat of Notts County at Forest’s Town Ground, as Trent Bridge was being used for a cricket match. Jimmy Ross, Joe McQue and Harry Bradshaw struck for the reds. Future reds right-back Jack Chadburn scored for the home side, with Elijah Allsopp also on target.

1896 – Bolton Wanderers won 2-0 in L4

1901 - Winger Tommy Robertson made his hundredth consecutive reds appearance in our 1-0 defeat at Stoke.

1903 - Sydney Smith bagged a treble as we beat Manchester City 6-5 in a friendly at Anfield. Edgar Chadwick, Alex Raisbeck and Jack Cox also netted.

1907 - We were thumped 4-0 by Manchester United at their old Bank Street ground, with forward Sam Bowyer making an unhappy debut. Jimmy Turnbull bagged three of his seven strikes against the reds with George Wall netting the first of his ten goals past us.

1921 - We faced Manchester City, drawing 1-1 at their old Hyde Road ground, with Harry Chambers on target for the reds.

1928 – Outside-right Cyril Oxley moved on to Southend United after scoring six goals in 34 games since signing from Chesterfield for £2,000 in October 1925.

1929 - Our Anfield derby on this day ended in a 3-0 defeat. Dixie Dean bagged two of his nineteen derby goals with George Martin also on target.

1932 - We were held to a 2-2 draw at Anfield by Sheffield United. Jack Pickering scored two of his five against us straight after the break, with Dave Wright then bagging a brace.

1935 - Centre-forward Fred Howe scored four goals in our 6-0 triumph in the Anfield Derby with Gordon Hodgson adding a brace. This remains the biggest ever winning margin by either side in the Merseyside derby.

1938 - Berry Nieuwenhuys grabbed the only goal of the game at Anfield against Manchester United .

1946 - We thumped Chelsea 7-4 at Anfield. Billy Liddell scored a brace on his official League debut, including one direct from a corner in the third minute as we raced into a 4-0 interval lead, with the lead eventually stretching to 6-0 before the west London outfit fought back. Bill Jones grabbed his first two reds goals with Willie Fagan also netting twice and Jack Balmer grabbing the other goal. Keeper Charlie Ashcroft also made his reds bow in this game, with Bob Paisley playing his first League game. Alex Machin bagged a brace for the visitors, with Len Goulden and Jimmy Argue also on target.

1949 - Albert Stubbins struck as we were held 1-1 in L4 by Manchester United with Charlie Mitten bagging one of his five goals past us.

1956 – Half-back Johnny Wheeler signed from Bolton Wanderers for £9,000, joining his cousin Ronnie Moran at Anfield. He made 177 appearances, bagging 23 goals. One of his greatest games came in November 1956, when he netted a four-minute hat-trick against Port Vale.

1957 – We drew 2-2 at Fulham in a Second Division meeting. Tosh Chamberlain scored one of his four goals past us, with Billy Liddell and Alan A’Court putting us in front by half time. Johnny Haynes equalised for the Cottagers in the second half.

1960 – We were held to a 2-2 draw by Luton Town in a Second Division encounter at Anfield. Gordon Turner bagged one of his five goals past us very early, with Dave Hickson equalising straight away. Ronnie Moran converted a penalty, but Billy Bingham equalised before the break.

1963 - We beat Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, with Ian St. John nabbing a brace and Roger Hunt also on target in a 3-1 victory.

1968 – Ron Yeats and Bobby Graham struck as we beat Queens Park Rangers at home.

1974 - Phil Boersma scored a first-half hat-trick in our 5-2 defeat of Tottenham Hotspur. Emlyn Hughes and Ray Kennedy were also on the scoresheet, with Martin Chivers netting the last of his seven goals against us, and Steve Perryman also scoring. This was Emlyn’s 300th League game for the reds.

1974 - Stéphane Henchoz was born in Billens, Switzerland. He arrived for £3.5m from Blackburn Rovers in June 1999, and made a total of 205 appearances without scoring, forming a rock-solid partnership with Sami Hyypiä and helping us to claim five trophies in 2001 as well as another League Cup two years later. He joined Celtic on a free transfer in January 2005, and spent a season playing for Premiership new boys Wigan Athletic, before returning to Ewood Park for two injury-hit seasons.

1982 – We won by the odd goal in seven when Nottingham Forest visited L4. We were 3-2 down at the break after Steve Hodge had scored the first two of his six goals against the reds and Peter Davenport also on target. David Hodgson bagged a first-half brace, with Graeme Souness and Ian Rush scoring late on.

1985 – We beat Watford 3-1 at Anfield after falling behind to a Colin West goal. Phil Neal levelled from the spot before the break, his 59th and final reds goal, before Craig Johnston and Ian Rush secured the victory.

1988 – Ex-reserves striker Craig Lindfield was born in Greasby on the Wirral peninsula. He struck in a pre-season friendly at Crewe Alexandra in July 2006 on his first appearance for the senior side but failed to make a first-class appearance for the reds, and was released in August 2009.

1989 - A Northern League representative team took on a combined Liverpool and Juventus Under-21’s side as part of the Northern League’s centenary celebrations.

1993 – Midfielder Kevin Stewart was born in Enfield. He arrived from Tottenham Hotspur in July 2014 on a free transfer, making twenty senior reds appearances without scoring before joining Hull City in July 2017.

1995 - Birkenhead-born Jason McAteer signed from Bolton Wanderers for £4.5m, which was still their record transfer fee received until Nicolas Anelka’s £15m departure for Chelsea in January 2008, just five months after impressing against the reds in the Coca Cola Cup Final. He bagged six goals in his 139 reds games before joining Blackburn Rovers for £4m in January 1999.

1996 - Patrik Berger made his reds bow as a substitute in our 2-1 defeat of Southampton on Graeme Souness’s first return to Anfield. Stan Collymore and Steve McManaman were on target either side of ex-red Jim Magilton’s equaliser.

2016 – Left-back José Enrique signed for Real Zaragoza, having been released by the reds at the end of the previous season. He struck once in 24 outings in his first campaign with the Segunda División side.

2020 - Sheyi Ojo joined Cardiff City on loan. He scored five goals in 42 outings for the Bluebirds.

2022 – Brazilian midfielder Arthur Melo came off the bench for his only reds appearance as we were beaten 4-1 at SSC Napoli in a UEFA Champions League group stage encounter. Piotr Zieliński scored from the spot before Alisson Becker saved a Victor Osimhen penalty. André-Frank Zambo Anguissa and Giovanni Simeone giving the home side a three-goal half-time lead, with Zieliński bagging his second straight after the break. Luis Díaz immediately pulled a goal back, but we still succumbed to our record defeat in the Champions League.

1893- Manchester United as mentioned were then known as Newton Heath, first person that ever told me this was a school teacher I knew, the last I heard he had been convicted of Noncing (my brother said even before that, he was such a bastard he would happily piss on his grave)

1965, A thumping win at a West Ham team, managed by future England manager Ron Greenwood and containing their famous trio of Peters, Hurst and Moore all of whom helped England win the world cup a year later, Moore as captain with Peters scoring once and Hurst scoring thrice. Bet you never knew that......................... West Ham had also just won the Cup Winners cup the previous year.

1983- Southampton were a decent team and held us to a 1-1 draw, they would finish runners up that season with a team which included Mark Wright. Unfortunately I cant find any footage

1986- A thumping win at West ham by 5 goals to 2. Kenny Dalglish coming on as sub helped himself to two. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7FFlX75Oics highlights here, how lovely is that away kit

2000- A brilliant first half hat trick from Owen sees off Aston villa 3-1

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nNPiOC5wD4k footage from 6:20 including the signing of Christian ziege

Cheers Paul

[Crosby Nick]

1996 - I went to this one. We’d started the season in slightly patchy form and this was a slightly fortunate win. McManaman scored a layer winner when he latched onto an under hit back pass I think. One of the rare times I’ve been in the Anny Road.

[Speedy Molby]

1991: Went to this one and our coach broke down on the way there. They got it going again but the radio wasn't working so when we got to the ground at half-time I had to ask a copper what the score was. He could barely conceal his delight as he replied: "1-0 to County." Happily Rosenthal had one of those days when he came off the bench and was unplayable. He equalised then won the decisive penalty, scored by Walters. Fair to say the return journey was happier than the outward one.

1996: Berger's debut and I seem to remember he turned the game when he came on. Within a a few weeks he'd enjoyed one of the most spectacular starts to any Liverpool career.

1888 - The first ever League game at Anfield was played as Everton beat Accrington 2-1.

1894 - We suffered our first ever defeat in the Football League, going down 2-1 at home to Aston Villa in our third First Division game, having remained unbeaten through the whole of our debut season in the Second Division. Harry Bradshaw struck our consolation that day.

1906 – Jack Cox was on target as we drew 1-1 at Blackburn Rovers.

1917 - We thumped Port Vale 4-0 in a Wartime League game thanks to two from Thomas Bennett and further goals from Harry Lewis and Arthur Metcalf.

1923 – Jimmy Walsh struck the only goal of our trip to Preston North End.

1926 - We entertained Aston Villa , with Harry Chambers and **** Forshaw on target in a 2-1 victory, while George Stephenson bagged the first of his four goals against the reds.

1928 - Gordon Hodgson struck twice with D ick Edmed, Jimmy McDougall and Tom Reid all also on target as we thumped Leicester City 6-3 in another top-flight match, with right-back Bob Done scoring the first of his thirteen reds goals.

1956 – Half-back Johnny Wheeler signed from Bolton Wanderers for £9,000, joining his cousin Ronnie Moran at Anfield. He made 177 appearances, bagging 23 goals. One of his greatest games came in November 1956, when he netted a four-minute hat-trick against Port Vale. He was appointed player-manager of New Brighton in May 1963, but did not take up the post, becoming Assistant Trainer at Bury instead, where he stayed until 1969.

1962 – Scottish left-half Tommy Leishman bagged his final goal while reaching a century of League games as we lost 3-1 at Nottingham Forest.

1972 - Markus Babbel was born in Munich. He arrived on a free transfer from Bayern München in June 2000 and was a vital member of the treble-winning team bagging six goals in 73 games, until he was struck down by Guillain-Barré syndrome, moving to VfB Stuttgart on a free transfer in July 2004 after a loan spell at Blackburn Rovers.

1973 – Kevin Keegan bagged the only goal of Chelsea’s visit to Anfield, later having a penalty saved by Peter Bonetti.

1978 - Icelandic former reserves forward Haukur Ingi Guðnason was born in Keflavik. He never made an official senior appearance for the reds after signing from his hometown club in December 1997, returning there three years later after just three appearances on our bench in May 1998.

1893 – Winger Patrick Gordon bagged the first of his eight reds goals as we beat Lincoln City 4-0 in a Second Division fixture at Anfield. Left-half James McBride netted a brace with Malcolm McVean also on target.

1899 - We lost 2-0 at home to Sunderland in a First Division fixture.

1905 – Tom Watson took charge of his 300th reds League game as Blackburn Rovers won 3-1 at Anfield. Play was halted after 25 minutes due to torrential rain. Jack Cox put us in front, but an Adam Bowman brace gave the visitors a half-time lead. Bill Davies struck late on.

1911 - We drew 2-2 with Manchester City in L4, with Jack Parkinson reach a century of League goals for the club and Ronald Orr also on target. Tommy Kelso struck twice from the spot for the Sky Blues.

1912 - Left-half Joe Dines played his only reds game as we won 2-1 at Chelsea thanks to goals from Arthur Goddard and Tommy Gracie. He was killed on the Western Front in 1918.

1913 - Keeper Alf Hobson was born in County Durham. He signed from Shildon Colliery in April 1936 and made 28 reds appearances either side of the Second World War, as well as playing 171 wartime games.

1922 – We won 3-1 at Preston North End, with Walter Wadsworth, **** Johnson and Harry Chambers all on the scoresheet.

1931 – We lost 4-1 at Middlesbrough. Bobby Bruce bagged two of his five goals past us, with Jack Jennings and Freddie Warren also on target for the home side. Dave Wright netted our goal.

1933 - Left-back Jack Tennant made his reds bow as we went down 4-2 at Aston Villa, with Gordon Hodgson and Sam English on target. Eric Houghton struck two of his six goals past us for the home side, with Dai Astley bagging the first of his six and Alec Talbot also on target for the Villains.

1936 – Portsmouth held us to a goalless draw in L4.

1944 - Cyril Done was on target in his fourth consecutive reds game as we drew 2-2 with Manchester City at Anfield in a Wartime League match, with Berry Nieuwenhuys also on the scoresheet.

1950 - Cyril Done grabbed the only goal of the game late on against Derby at Anfield.

1959 - ‘Sir’ Roger Hunt scored on his reds debut as we beat Sc*nthorpe United 2-0 at Anfield, with Jimmy Melia bagging the other. Roger went on to notch 285 times in 492 reds games, a club record until the arrival of Ian Rush.

1961 - We beat Sc*nthorpe United 2-1 in another Second Division meeting at Anfield thanks to a Derek Hemstead own goal and an Alan A’Court strike. This was our sixth straight win from the start of the season as we went on to clinch the title.

1963 - Roger Hunt bagged a brace with Jimmy Melia also on the scoresheet as we won 3-1 at Molineux with Ronnie Moran playing his 300th League game for the club.

1964 – We went down 2-0 at Leicester City.

1967 - We beat Chelsea again, this time 3-1 at Anfield with Tommy Smith converting a penalty and Tony Hateley on the scoresheet twice. Keeper Tommy Lawrence played his 200th League game for the reds.

1969 - Geoff Strong scored his 33rd and last goal for the club with Tommy Smith also scoring as we beat Sunderland in a Tuesday night game at Anfield as Ron Yeats played his 400th game for the club,

1970 - Midfielder Steve Arnold signed from Crewe Alexandra for £10,000, but only ever made one first-team appearance before moving to Rochdale in June 1973. His career never really took off, and he retired from the game aged 23.

1972 - Peter Cormack grabbed his first reds goal as we beat Wolves 4-2 at Anfield. Emlyn Hughes and Kevin Keegan also struck, with Tommy Smith converting a penalty. This was the first of 336 consecutive games that Ray Clemence played in, until March 1978. John Richards bagged the first of his five goals against the reds, with Steve Kindon also on target.

1978 – Ray Clemence skippered the reds in the absence of Emlyn Hughes as we won 3-0 at Birmingham City thanks to a brace from Graeme Souness and Alan Kennedy’s first reds strike, so apparently becoming the first red to captain the side from between the sticks. Garry Pendrey was sent off for the Blues after half an hour for a second bookable offence.

1987 - 24 people were charged with involuntary manslaughter relating to the Heysel tragedy and extradited to Belgium. Fourteen people were eventually convicted.

1989 - Ian Rush and Peter Beardsley struck as we won 3-0 at the Baseball Ground, with John Barnes notching from the spot.

1994 - Ronnie Whelan left Anfield for Southend United on a free transfer. He had signed from Home Farm for £35,000 in September 1979 and played 493 reds games, netting 73 times and winning six League titles, one European Cup, two FA Cups, three League Cups and three FA Charity Shields. He turned out 35 times for the Shrimpers, netting once, and became Player/Manager the following summer. On the same day, Mark Walters joined Wolverhampton Wanderers on loan. He struck three times in eleven appearances for Wolves before returning to Anfield.

1995 – We lost 1-0 to Wimbledon at Selhurst Park as Mick Harford struck the last of his seven goals against the reds, with Vinny Jones sent off late on.

1998 – Patrik Berger and Jamie Redknapp netted as we beat Coventry City 2-0 at Anfield.

2000 - Christian Ziege made his reds bow as a substitute in our 3-2 defeat of Manchester City at Anfield. Jamie Carragher skippered the side for the first time, while Michael Owen netted in his hundredth League game. Mad Dutchman Erik Meijer made his 27th and final appearance for the reds, as Dietmar Hamann scored a very rare brace as City fought back from two goals down before Hamann’s late winner. Ex-World Player of the Year George Weah scored his only League goal for City, with Kevin Horlock converting a spot-kick.

2006 - We lost 3-0 at Everton, our biggest derby defeat since September 1964, with Pepe Reina suffering a rare aberration. Tim Cahill opened the scoring with one of his five strikes past us before Andy Johnson added a brace.

2009 - Michael Shields was finally released with a royal pardon after four years behind bars for a crime he did not commit in Bulgaria in the aftermath of the Champions League Final in Istanbul.

2011 – Centre-half Laurie Hughes died. He signed from Tranmere Rovers in February 1943 and made 326 reds appearances, netting just once. He helped us to the first post-war League title and the FA Cup Final three years later and was the first red to appear in the World Cup Finals later that year.

2017 - Sadio Mané was sent off at Manchester City with the score at 1-0 as we eventually succumbed 5-0. Sergio Agüero opened the scoring with the most recent of his six goals past us to date before Mané saw red for a high challenge on keeper Ederson. Gabriel Jesus struck twice, either side of half time, with Leroy Sané adding a late brace. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain made his reds bow as a half-time replacement for Mohamed Salah.
