John Aldridge and Ian Rush kept Liverpool on course for a 2ed magical double.In an emotion fillied final that became known as The Memorial FA Cup Final.The Final was a wonderful tribute to the victims of the Hillsborough tragedy on Semi Final day.In one of the greatest finals ever to grace Wembley it looked as if Liverpool would win easily as they took the lead after only four minutes.In their first attack Peter Beardsley fed the ball to Steve Nicol and he played a wonderfull ball to Steve McMahon his pin-point pass found John Aldridge who scored his 29th goal of the season in his 100th game for the Reds.
As Liverpool missed chance after chance to put the the game beyond Everton .Referee Joe Worrall was just seconds away from blowing the final whistle when Dave Watson fired a shot that Brce Grobbelaar could only parry.Sub Stuart Mcall forced the ball into the net.Into Extra Time and Liverpool and again it didn't take long for Liverpool to regain the lead this time through Ian Rush again Steve Nicol was involved who found Rush with an excellent pass who turned the ball home to make it 2-1 to Liverpool.Everyone thought that Liverpool would wrap the game up but once again Stuart McAll smashed a volley from all of 20 yards that left Grobbelaar helpless.Back came Liverpool just two minutes later John Barnes was the provider this time as Ian Rush headed pass Southall in the Everton goal.Liverpool had further chances to score but Everton held out eventhough they could not come back a third time.Liverpool were winner 3-2 and Kenny Dalglish said both teams were a tribute to the fans that died at Hillsborough and praised Everton for their part in a wonderful final.

Liverpool went into this game on the back of a FA Cup Final defeat against Manchester United but fears that they would suffer defeat again were quickly squashed.
It wasn't all one way though Ray Clemence pulled off a string of world class saves to deny BMG, he was luvky only once when a shot Rainer Bonhoff struck a post.
The opening goal came after 27 minutes when Steve Heighway rolled a sweet ball from Ian Callaghan into the path of Terry McDermott.Goalkeeper Wolfgang Knelb was slow coming out and McDermott struck the ball so incisively that there was no chance of saving it.Allan Simonsen equalised after 51 mins,an error by Jimmy Case allowed the Dane to nip in to score.Clemence then made a super save from Stielik.then Simonsen headed just wide.BMG were on top at this stage until Klinkhammer gave away a careless corner.Heighway took it and his cross was met by Tommy Smith who had announced he was going to retire after this game(he later changed his mind)
Tommy powered a header pass Knelb to put Liverpool 2-1 up.Back came BMG and it took a great save from Clemence from Heynckes and Simonsen.Liverpool then made the game sae when Vogtes hauled down the departing Kevin Keegan who had led Berti a merry dance all night.It was a stonewall penalty and Phil Neal the coolest man in the stadium made no mistake to make it 3-1 to Liverpool with just eight minutes left.Liverpool were Champions of Europe at last.

Reds win the European Cup/Champions League for the 5th time*



Liverpool are Kings of Europe once again after claiming the trophy for a fifth time with a dramatic penalty shoot-out victory over AC Milan at the Ataturk Stadium on Wednesday night.














On what will go down as THE most incredible night in this club's illustrious history the Reds amazingly fought back from a 3-0 half-time deficit and won the cup on penalties.



Jerzy Dudek was the hero, saving the decisive spot-kick from Andriy Shevchenko, but every player in Red was a hero on an unforgettable occasion in Istanbul.



A first minute goal from Paolo Maldini and a double strike from Hernan Crespo just before the break looked to have left the Reds' hopes of Champions League glory seemingly in tatters before an amazing fightback saw them draw level.



Three goals in a frantic five-minute second half spell sent Liverpudlians everywhere wild with delight and must have thrilled television viewers across the world.



It was captain Steven Gerrard who got the comeback underway with a glancing header on 54 minutes. At the time it seemed nothing but a mere consolation but when Vladimir Smicer, in his last game for the club, then fired a long-range effort past Dida two minutes later belief and hope rung around the ground.



In the 59th minute Gerrard was brought down in the box and from the resultant spot-kick it was 3-3. Alonso's first effort was saved by the diving Dida but he gloriously made no mistake with the rebound to spark ecstatic scenes among the travelling Liverpool fans.



In what was the club's first European Cup Final since 1985, Liverpool fans converged on the Ataturk Stadium in their thousands and vastly outnumbered the fans from Milan.



Their presence helped create an electric atmosphere but they were stunned into silence after just one minute when Maldini volleyed home from an Andrea Pirlo free-kick after Djimi Traore fouled Kaka.



Rafael Benitez's team struggled to recover from the shock of this early setback and Luis Garcia was forced to head off the line as Milan threatened further goals. Andriy Shevchenko had a goal ruled out for offside before and to compound Liverpool's problems Harry Kewell limped off injured after 23 minutes.



Hernan Crespo, the Argentinean striker on-loan from Chelsea, doubled the Italian's advantage in the 39th minute when converting from close-range and to every Liverpool fans horror he then added a third two minutes before the break when he chipped over Dudek.



It seemed all over until the most miraculous of comebacks saw the Reds send this dramatic match into extra-time. There was to be no further scoring, although Liverpool had Jerzy Dudek to thank for a stunning double late save to deny Shevchenko, and for the second time a European Cup Final involving Liverpool was to be settled by the lottery of a penalty shoot-out.



Hamann, Cisse and Smicer scored, Riise's effort was saved but Serginho blazed over and Dudek saved from Pirlo and Shevchenko to win the cup for Liverpool.



Old big ears is back. And this time it's for good! Campioni Liverpool!!!

ON THIS DAY IN 1984



ALAN KENNEDY, the match-winning hero of Paris in 1981, gave Liverpool the most dramatic European Cup victory of all time in Rome last night.

After the game's most coveted prize had been reduced to a penalty shoot-out, the veteran fullback blasted home to bring the trophy back to Anfield for a fourth time.

Ironically the man who broke a million Italian hearts was the legendary national hero Graziani, who blazed high over the crossbar with Roma's fourth kick to seal their fate.

This most haphazard end to a night of high drama began sensationally when Liverpool substitute Steve Nicol drove high and wide with the first kick.

Di Bartolomei and Phil Neal safely converted before Bruno Conti missed his side's second kick. Souness, Righetti and Rush proved equal to the task before Graziani's costly slip-up.

The Liverpool bench exploded as Kennedy's shot struck the back of the net to complete an astonishing hat-trick of successes in manager Joe Fagan's first season in charge.

But earlier, through normal and extra-time, the much-vaunted showdown between arguably the two finest club sides in the world, never looked likely to reach the heights of excellence so many had predicted.

Too many of the ball artists on view - the aristocratic but lethargic Falcao in particular - suffered irritating off-days reducing the game to a stuttering chess-like confrontation.

The action was confined almost totally to midfield for lengthy spells leaving the two sides' respective goal poachers Rush and Pruzzo, scrambling for crumbs in front of goal.

Roma, for the most part happy to play a surprisingly basic game, concentrated almost their entire effort down the flanks, Conti and Graziani constantly sweeping past Phil Neal and Alan Kennedy.

After successfully employing the waiting game in the crucial early stages, Liverpool swept forward after 15 minutes to snatch the lead and silence one of the most volatile crowds in Europe.

It was a curious goal which ultimately owed more to good fortune than good judgment. Graeme Souness laid the ball down the right flank and after a brief Sammy Lee contribution, it fell neatly for Craig Johnston. As he had done on three previous occasions, he whipped the ball across to the far post where Ronnie Whelan awaited. Tancredi leaped backwards only to collide with the young Irishman. The ball squirmed free of his clutching hands to fall invitingly at the feet of Rush. Bonetti intercepted only to see his attempted clearance blocked. His second effort cannoned into the rear of his prone goalkeeper's body and back across the face of goal. Neal stepped gracefully between two converging defenders before hammering home with the outside of his right foot from six yards.

Souness appeared for all intents and purposes to have sewn things up two minutes later when he volleyed home from close range only to find disappointment in a lineman's waving flag.

Grobbelaar, cool but occasionally unorthodox, came galloping to the rescue after 27 minutes when he threw himself down to his right to paw Conti's low drive to safety.

The lonely figure of Rush came within inches of notching his 50th goal of the season after 38 minutes when Bonetti committed the near fatal error of over-confidence. The Welshman charged down his lazy clearance and raced forward in typical fashion. His angled drive was accurate but superbly saved by Tancredi.

But with half-time beckoning and a potentially decisive one-goal advantage to their name, Liverpool made an uncharacteristic and basic error after 43 minutes. Conti appeared to have lost his chance when Mark Lawrenson blocked his cross but strangely he was offered a second opportunity - which he gratefully accepted. As Lawrenson and Neal tried in vain to close him down, he swung over a beautiful cross which Pruzzo reached first. His header looped tantalisingly beyond Grobbelaar for an equaliser Roma had hardly looked capable of.

The second half was a thor-oughly low key affair as both sides abandoned their natural game in a bid to minimise any errors.

Steve Nicol was within inches of averting extra-time after 85 minutes when he was set free inside the area by Kenny Dalglish. His drive was well hit but superbly saved by the athletic Tancredi.

The extra period followed a similar pattern, both sides slowing the game down at every opportunity. With just three minutes remaining, Conti was thwarted by an acrobatic Grobbelaar save after latching on to a loose back pass.

LIVERPOOL: Grobbelaar; Neal, Lawrenson, Hansen, Kennedy; Lee, Johnston (Nicol), Souness, Whelan; Rush, Dalglish (Robinson).

AS ROMA: Tancredi; Nappi, Bonetti, Cerezo (Strukelj), Righetti; Falcao, Nela, Di Bartolomei, Conti; Pruzzo (Chierico), Graziani.

REFEREE: Mr F Frederiksson (Sweden)

MAN OF THE MATCH: Phil Neal - Like fellow full-back Alan Kennedy, he proved the man for the big occasion, on target both during the game and the shoot-out.

- John Arne Riise scores his debut goal for LFC


IN DEFEATING Bayern Munich to win the UEFA Super Cup here in Monaco, Liverpool served up the sight all England want to see next Saturday: Michael Owen, sharpness and speed, and Emile Heskey darting through to beat Oliver Kahn, the esteemed captain and goalkeeper of Germany.

England will find Germany a far more difficult proposition in a World Cup qualifier than Liverpool found Bayern. Yet strikers thrive on confidence as well as the knowledge that they have scored against certain keepers in the past.

Sven-Goran Eriksson watched on as, following John Arne Riise's opener at his old home, both Owen and then Heskey displayed their finishing ability.

The England coach will also have been pleased to see Steven Gerrard give a solid performance in right midfield and a lively substitute's cameo from Robbie Fowler while, for Bayern, Owen Hargreaves produced some neat touches.

Liverpool had deserved their first-half 2-0 lead, the goals just reward for the excellence of their defence, particularly Sami Hyypia, their midfield graft and the speed of Owen and Heskey in attack. Owen kept racing down the channels, creating chances for himself and others. It was a sight to delight Eriksson as well as the Liverpool contingent.

One right-wing cross from Owen was met by Heskey but diverted for a corner; the next, after 22 minutes, saw the ball arrive at Owen's flying feet via Gerrard after Hargreaves had lost possession. Owen drilled the ball across goal for Riise to supply the finishing touch.

Although the Bayern fans chorused "you only sing when you're winning" and other more Anglo-Saxon chants, their players could find no riposte to Liverpool.

Owen's pace was causing panic in Bayern's defence. Yet when he went through one-on-one with Kahn, the German keeper stood up to the challenge and thwarted the Liverpool striker with a good save; as events early in the second half indicated, Owen suffered no loss of confidence, no sudden feeling of awe in the presence of Kahn.

Before Owen showed he can score against Kahn, another England striker was placing the ball past the player honoured here on Thursday night as European Goalkeeper of the Year. Again Hargreaves lost the ball, his pass being cut out by Dietmar Hamann, who found Heskey down the inside-left channel.

Two defenders stood between Heskey and Kahn; within a second, Heskey's strength and skill had carried him past Robert Kovac and Thomas Linke, who should be in Germany's defence next Saturday, before he clipped the ball in past Kahn. Liverpool's fans, who had spent the day drinking in cafes and diving into the harbour, loved it. They had even learned some of the local lingo; "Liverpool FC - Sans Pareil" read one banner.

They were certainly without equal last night, their supremacy confirmed 13 seconds after the re-start when Owen cut in from the left and slid the ball across Kahn and in. This was Owen at his best: incisive in the break, decisive in the final touch.

Bayern could not remain so supine for so long and reduced the deficit to 3-1 within 15 minutes. Hargreaves's corner from the left was met powerfully by Hasan Salihamidzic, whose close-range header flashed past Sander Westerveld. Hargreaves was rightly congratulated for the quality of his corner but, overall, his was a curate's egg of a contribution in front of Eriksson.

His occasional casualness in distribution was evident, leading to Liverpool's opening goals, but otherwise he won the ball athletically and used it efficiently from his base in deep central midfield. Yet Bayern's president, Franz Beckenbauer, argued that it was "too early for him" to be playing also for Eriksson.

"He has a great talent but give the boy time," urged Beckenbauer. "The Under-21s would be better." England send their polite regrets but the Kaiser will have to be dis- appointed; Hargreaves's name was absent from David Platt's Under-21s yesterday and he will be included in Eriksson's full squad tomorrow.

Nine minutes from time Carsten Jancker made it 3-2 with a meaty header but Liverpool deservedly held on for their fifth trophy in six months.

Not to go off topic, but I am visiting my ancestral home of Liverpool 22-24 for the first time in my life. We all know what happens on September 23, and I expect it to be one of the most amazing days I ever experience in my entire life. I have my flight booked but still need lodging and a ticket.

Does anyone have any website recommendations or routes for me to pursue one of these said tickets? Iss there a group I could email to get a fan seat in the Kop? I'm ready to pay what I have to pay, but I can barely afford the trip and was hoping this forum would have advice for me. Thanks to all that respond, love to all that support the greatest club on earth.

August 26th 2005


Liverpool have won their 3rd Super Cup after super sub Djibril Cisse came off the bench to score the goals to beat CSKA Moscow 3-1 after extra time in Monaco tonight.

It wasn't quite Istanbul, but the Reds produced another second half fight back, before growing in strength as the game went into extra time and making another prestige addition to the Anfield trophy cabinet.

It had looked like it would be a night of frustration for Rafa ?s men as they trailed to Daniel Carvalho's 28th minute strike. But they were saved by substitute Djibril Cisse, who needed just 3 minutes on the pitch to draw his side level.

Liverpool began the game looking very much the sharper side and Hamann tested the Moscow keeper within 2 minutes. They created an even better opportunity soon after when Hamann, again involved, found Garcia clear, but he couldn't control as the goal beckoned.

The Reds continued to dominate possession and Morientes and Garcia both went close. But they were rocked in the 28th minute when CSKA scored from a counter attack that Liverpool themselves would have been proud of.

There seemed to be little danger and little ambition from Moscow, but Wagner-Love suddenly found a defence splitting pass and Carvalho ran around Reina before finishing coolly as the angle narrowed.

The second half started much the same as the first, with Liverpool again in the ascendancy. But as hard as they tried they just couldn't find a way passed CSKA's five man defence.

That was until the 79th minute introduction of Cisse, who had barely got his boots dirty before running passed goalkeeper Akinfeev and slotting into the empty net. There may have been a touch of controversy about Cisse's goal as the ball appeared to touch his hand, but he didn't care as he reeled away to celebrate.

Liverpool had deserved their equalizer and if Cisse's first goal was a timely reminder of his ability, his second 12 minutes into extra time not only won a 3rd Super Cup, but it also made him the hero of the night.

CSKA almost found a way back in the second period of extra time, but Reina saved well from Wagner-Love and the Cup waswon.

A late Luis Garcia header made it safe, with Cisse this time the provider and Rafa's men will return to Liverpool with not just the Super Cup, but with their confidence somewhat boosted as they once again proved their powers of recovery.
