I’VE lost count of how many Merseyside derbies I’ve attended over the years. When the memories come flooding back, of course there are the victorious cup finals and semi-finals and a seemingly endless catalogue of Liverpool glory but one date always sticks in the mind...
LIVERPOOL FC remain the only English football team to have triumphed in competitive matches at the Camp Nou. Not only that, The Reds have done it TWICE. It was on this day – March 30 – in 1976 that Bob Paisley’s Liverpool made history in becoming the first team...
‘It’s back and this time it is 05/06. 12 years ago since that summer, 12 years have passed but Mike Nevin, Rob Gutmann and Steve Graves are here to send you back. Back to an time where Liverpool are European Champions, no one has put a contract in front of...

I SOMETIMES wonder what went through Bob Paisley’s mind. This was the game that was meant to propel his Liverpool team into the European elite. A place in the last four of the European Cup up for grabs. Kevin Keegan’s goal inside two minutes had wiped out...
TEN more games. That’s all we’ve got. It’s come around really quickly, hasn’t it? From the autumn highs to the winter lows, Liverpool have worked themselves into a position to get something tangible out of this season. It’s pretty unlikely that we’ll be choosing to...
