Lack of Action Man Posted January 25, 2023 Report Share Posted January 25, 2023 Keith Welch’s performance in this game should be applauded. He was a bloody excellent goalkeeper. And wasn’t too bad with the (new at the time) pass back rule. He would be decent in the modern game. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBibs Posted January 25, 2023 Report Share Posted January 25, 2023 I remember the stadium announcer (the one that seemed to be there forever) having to ask us to leave the stadium as we celebrated so long after the final whistle. Also the sportsmanship of the Kop and the Liverpool fans in general was truly amazing. I recall us being knocked out at home by lower division Torquay at home a few seasons before and police horses having to charge the City fans so that the Torquay fans could get out.

Lanterne Rouge Posted January 25, 2023 Report Share Posted January 25, 2023 Brilliant night. Everybody played out of their skins with a particular mention for Martin Scott who had Mark Walters in his pocket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A great day on the lash on Merseyside,, followed by a blinding game, followed by more alcohol post match in a pub full of Everton fans. I was majorly pissed by the time we left Liverpool! 29 years, crikey! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BS15_RED Posted January 25, 2023 Report Share Posted January 25, 2023 I was 12 at the time, I remember being led in the bath listening to the commentary on the radio! Suffice to say the bathroom was sodden when Tins scored! Hard to think that’ll be 30 years ago next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robofwells Posted January 25, 2023 Report Share Posted January 25, 2023 (edited) Still got the newspaper cuttings in drawer at work to show the present day Liverpool glory hunters.

Needless to say i sat in the corner listening to radio the whole of first game ... Anfield i just remember listening at home with my dad, going absolutely crazy twice. The time between goal and FT felt like an eternity Ha Ha that's dedication to be at a party and listen to the game. I remember being at the game when the floodlights went out couldn't tell you anything about the game other then the floodlights going out that's all I remember Have no memory of the next game at home. I'm so pleased my son who is 7 loves coming to games now and he can have some memories of his own tha's what it's all about.......Well hopefully anyway.

I may have only been 9 but i knew the difference between right and wrong I was 4/5years into city life. (As a child I didn't like Keith welch because he replaced leaning) I argued over and over why i should go to the game. But, no. So absolutely either took/found a radio The funny thing, when the other parents told my dad what I'd done, he wasn't even angry; more a faint proud look if anything ............ 7 years old what i time to follow football. Lucky him; he's in for life now and nothing he can do about it. We go, we watch, we fall in love and not a damn thing can do about it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shelts Posted January 26, 2023 Report Share Posted January 26, 2023 What a night . Best day ever . Mrs drove the minibus up and we stopped in Warrington . Long day full of cider . Sobered up when inside Anfield and cries like a baby when they sang “ you’ll never walk alone”. Tinns goal still sends shivers through me!!

bcfcredandwhite Posted January 27, 2023 Report Share Posted January 27, 2023 (edited) I was working nightshifts when we earned the replay at Anfield. My manager was at the game at Ashton Gate and I was listening to it on the radio from work. As soon as the final whistle blew, I filled in the handwritten holiday request form (as was the process back in the day) for the night off so I could go to the Anfield game. My manager had to authorise it. When my manager came in and saw my holiday application waiting for his signature, he laughed as he ripped it up and threw it in the bin before submitting his own. We couldn’t both take the same night off as there always had to be at least one of the 2 senior members of shift staff on site. I’ll never forgive him for that. Blatant abuse of authority!!! I had to listen to that game on the radio in work too Edited January 27, 2023 by bcfcredandwhite add words Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After Tinman had scored the minutes ticked by very, very slowly. Fantastic scenes when the goal went in and at the end of the game. 29 years ago. Blimey. I feel old. Sadly I didn't go, but my dad was there. Said the streets around Anfield were full of crying Scousers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, handshakes all round for my dad and his fellow fans after the game from impressed 'Pool fans. The Everton fan behind the bar at the hotel he was staying, bought them a round too!

Seemed mostly friendly but the EP ran a story afterwards with a picture of a City fan in hospital in Liverpool after being set upon in a chip shop near the ground. When he was recovered enough to hobble into the Enclosure on crutches he was recognised by the crowd and given a round of applause. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjiman_LFC Posted January 27, 2023 Report Share Posted January 27, 2023 I was only at the home games thankfully. I got to stand in the away end. I thought after the United win in 2017 I might not have be reminded of this again. No such luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harvey54 Posted January 27, 2023 Report Share Posted January 27, 2023 I was in the RAF at Machrihanish. A tiny little station near the Mull of Kintyre in Scotland. I listened to the radio commentary after travelling over 600 miles for the 1st leg at Ashton Gate. I ran up and down the corridors in my accommodation block after we won and drank heartily in the NAAFI after the game. So sad I missed bring there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hello Dave Posted January 27, 2023 Report Share Posted January 27, 2023 A girl I knew married a scouser and had a pub up there. She rang me and told us to bring the mini bus to her place. She opened up the pool table and jukebox for free all afternoon, then put food on for us. Pub was full of Everton and Liverpool, so there was loads of banter going round ( we gave them loads of stick, but I don’t think they got the Bristolian sense of humour). We had a spare ticket, so a Everton fan said he’d have it. He came with us and told us where to park, it was right outside the Kiop on double yellow lines, fair play , no ticket when we came out. Went back to the pub after and gave the Liverpool fans loads. More food was put on, followed by the curtains shutting and having a lock in. Knock on the window and off duty old bill come in for a drink! ! Left there at 2 o clock in the morning, great day!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
