Happy Istanbul Day!

[Spionkop69]

After all the doom and gloom of late, a timely reminder of the great club we still are.

7 years ago today we won the European Cup.

Still the best night of my life!

....and, 35 years ago, today, we won the first of the 5, in Rome.

Mine too.

I still get shivers down my spine thinking about that game.

7 years ago, I said at half-time that we would win. 🙂

What a great night. Dunno if it'll ever be trumped in my favourite ever Liverpool memories.

What a day. Unbelievable. Still love watching it. What date did we win UEFA Cup in 2001 with Ged?

Big up to you for having that much faith. I was depressed at half-time and almost in tears at the start of the second half when the fans at the stadium were singing You'll Never Walk Alone. I started singing as well, not because I believed we'd come back - needless to say I went mental when Alonso's goal went in. I was on my knees with a different sort of tears in my eyes when the dude saved Shevchenko's penalty.

It was a football experience that will probably not be matched, let alone surpassed for me.

Ditto! 😀

I hoped for no decimation, but at half time I ran and got my lucky wristband as I had a belief we could... Might just need another push

Kudos to you fellas, but like Fabs I was just hoping for damage limitation after half-time.

It was at that point that I went upstairs and switched Old Faithful on to watch the second half. 😎

 

[localny]

Honestly in 2004 we were a bit lost too. We could make it back..with a little luck

 

[themn]

I never lost faith.

Nearly got into a couple of fights in the bar I was at, over the apathy around me.

I accepted the hugs and apologies with good grace.

 

[the count]

What a great night.
While not believing we could turn it round I did say to a mate in the pub that a goal could put doubt in the Italians mind.
Fucking eh!

 

[Judge Jules]

Innit. When Stevie scored and Tyldesley was giving it "Hello! Hello! Here we go!", I sat there thinking "Give over, will ya, you're just trying to stop people changing channels."

Never been more pleased to be wrong in my entire life.

I watched it in Greece, back when I was a student and studying part of my masters degree. I met my wife then too, a big year for me!

At half time a guy I knew who didn't want the Italians to win was like 'What the fuck, Ruairi?' I told him it wasn't over yet but he wasn't convinced.

There was an Italian guy living in the halls of residence close to me, the next day I cut out photos from the papers and stuck them on to his door. I think the entire building heard his shouts of 'Bastardo!'
