When manager Kenny scored the winning goal against Chelsea

The year was 1986 and Liverpool needed a victory at Stamford Bridge to clinch the title. This was Kenny’s first season as player/manager and the gaffer scored the goal himself and in the process was crowned King Kenny.

Liverpool FC coming to America, reasons to be cheerful

The Reds will play AC Roma on July 25th at Fenway Park (the home of the Boston Red Sox) or as it will be known that day “Anfield West”.

Many have wondered how a baseball stadium which is shaped like a diamond can host  a football game? The last time Fenway Park hosted a football game it was in 2010 when Celtic played Sporting, the diagram above shows the seating set up.

As far as Liverpool are concerned touring North America has always been a good omen.
In 1946 Liverpool F.C. toured America and then the following season won the league after 23 years.
In 1964 Liverpool F.C. toured America and then the following season won the FA cup for the first time.
In 2004 Liverpool F.C. toured America and then the following season won the European Cup after 21 years.

More info on this year’s tour will be published.

Shankly out!

Food for thought.

The year was 1965, Manchester United won the league, Liverpool finished in 7th place after losing 15 games.

The Kopities did win the FA Cup and the manager was a certain Bill Shankly

Here is the final table from 1965.

Thank God there was no Twitter back in 1965 or Shanks would have been massacred.

Yep Bill Shankly that old fashioned manager.
