Topic: 1984 A Vintage Year

[John C]

Lovely bump.
I could look at that very first picture in Jason's post all day.
We were in the latter end of the middle of the glory era, so many fantastic years enjoyed, so many still ahead though. That team and those players were an authoritative force of football.
We were Liverpool.
