Being from the U. S. we didn't get many football games on TV growing up. One of the first matches I watched was Liverpool's champions league win over AC Milan, and then the next year the FA cup win over West Ham. Just took a little dive into the past to watch those highlights. Absolutely ridiculous games. We won a champions league final with Traore as a LB, he makes Moreno look like a superstar, some of the worse positioning I've ever seen. On the West Ham game, that goal by Gerrard is still one of the most incredible goals I've ever seen, absolute rope, unbelievable. Cemented Liverpool as my team and Gerrard as my favorite player. What are the most memorable matches for you guys and girls?

Beating Dortmund at Anfield was one to remember. That match had everything.

Istanbul, for me. We weren't even the best team on Merseyside that season but we won the big one.
I remember Djimi Traore standing on the ball at the beginning of the second half, 3 nil down, and nearly letting them in for a fourth.
A Manc I was sat in the pub with
was laughing at me shouting at Traore and lapping it all up.
He wasn't laughing later! To be fair, he bought me and a mate a big four pint jug of ale when we were getting the trophy to celebrate with.
Fabulous night.

Liverpool 2 Leeds 1 it was our first FA Cup win.

Saw it in black and white on TV.

Liverpool and it’s supporters were just fantastic.

Header from St John and Sir Roger scored.

Gerry Byrne played on with a broken collarbone as no subs were allowed then.

Bill Shankly led the club to that win and the rest as they say is history.

I started watching football in 2006 world cup as a 10 year old. My first ever 90 mins was Spain vs Tunisia and Torres scored 2 so he was an instant hit with me. Imagine my excitement when we signed him 1 year later. anyway as you can tell from the dates I just missed both Istanbul and the 06 fa cup.

I haven't missed a game since, charity shield vs Chelsea, Riise runs 70 yes to score. Opening league game 1-1 away at Sheffield Fowler pen. We had a great run to the CL final that year, staying up past bedtime to beat Chelsea on penalties with Rafa praying on the floor crossed legs. Never been happier than beating Barcelona at the nou camp who in my young eyes were the worlds best. Ronaldinho, Deco, Zambrotta, Thuram. Funnily enough that season the club site gave an option to email the players. For whatever reason I chose Alonso as the target to tell my transfer plans, in that email I asked him to tell Rafa to buy Downing and Milner, up and coming young English wingers. Anyway I've gone right off on one, I already feel old at 22. Love this stupid game of football.

Istanbul is high up there obviously. but the 1989 fa cup final had a special spirit about it that is hard to forget even after 30 years . the game was n't bad, but what was special is the crowd, both blues and reds, there was some amazing unity and family feeling that day at Wembley.

4-1 at OT. One of Rafa’s best games. 4-4 Arsenal and 4-4 Chelsea. FA cup against West Ham, in fact most of the games in 2008/ 09. Love watching those 😄.

Aah 77 Hugh, keegan tearing Bertie Vogts a new one, terry macs channel runs, Phil Neal’s composure, Barry Davies’ commentary “IT’S TOMMY SMITH! ” after his headed goal. good times!

QF against st etienne that year set the tone for me though.

Probably Istanbul to be honest even though there have been so many, including memorable defeats (Arsenal 1989).
Istanbul was incredible. At half time we were drowning out the Milan fans and as they rolled out their “forza Milan” flag it made us sing louder 😀
3-0 down it seemed impossible we could come back but at 3-3 it seemed impossible we would lose.
Goal line clearances, players cramping up, Dudek’s wobbly legs.
We beat AC Milan with Maldini, Nesta, Stam, Pirlo, Kaka, Seedorf, Shevchenko, Crespo
and we had Dudek, Traore, Smicer, Baros and Cisse.

They had conceded something like 2 goals since Christmas and we were 3-0 down at half time!
Our name was definitely on the cup that year, it felt like our 12th man was old Crazyhorse himself RIP.

LFC 4 - Newcastle 3 - the Collymore game. Also that night in Rome penalty shootout v Roma. + the 1st leg v Roma last year. Beating Man City last year in the league. Dortmund with the Lovren winner. Just so many great emotional games. Worst ones FA cup final loss to Wimbledon and Arsenal defeat 2-0 last game of the season Michael Thomas goal in the last minute. Both games stopped us winning the Double. 🙁.
