Liverpool FC European Champions League Winners 2005

Liverpool FC won perhaps the greatest ever European Cup Final against AC Milan coming back from 3-0 down at half time. In a year when they could only manage 5th place in the English Premier League Liverpool went into the final as clear under dogs, just as they had done in previous rounds against Chelsea and Juventus. Critics were concerned that the defensive style Liverpool had employed in previous rounds would lead to a boring match - how wrong they were!

The omens were good with previous Liverpool European Cup triumphs coinciding with the death of a Pope, the marriages of Price Charles the Price of Wales and Ken & Deirdre of Coronation Street. Also on each of the four previous occasions Liverpool have won the European Cup they have worn red and beaten a side playing in white, which matched the away strip worn by AC Milan.

The first half saw Milan going ahead with one minute, completely dominating play and finishing 3-0 up at the interval. Anyone who had not written off Liverpool's chances before the match had now done so. Some Liverpool fans who had traveled all the way to the match actually left the stadium in Istanbul unable to contemplate another 45 minute of humiliation.

The second half was as different to the first as chalk and cheese. In 6 wonderful minutes Liverpool came back on equal terms with goals from Gerrard, Smicer and Alonso. The whole fight back was inspired by Gerrard the Liverpool captain who scored the first with a header and won the penalty that allowed Alonso to score when he was the first to react after his spot kick was saved. The scores stayed level through extra time and the penalty shoot out was made easy for Liverpool with only one Milan player hitting the net.

Liverpool Football Club, Museum & Tour Centre

If ever there was an English football club with justification for having a museum, its got to be Liverpool FC. Like most great clubs, its had it's share of top class players, but what makes The Reds stand apart from the others is a record of trophy winning second-to-none, made all the better in recent times under the reign of Gerard Houllier, by the historic treble winning season of 2000-01, and the League Cup in 2002-3! The most recent addition to the trophy cabinet is the European Cup after the amazing win in the 2005 final. As only the third club ever to win the trophy five times Liverpool will now keep the cup for all time.

A record number of League Championships, domestic cups, and success at the very highest level with four European Cup victories - not to mention three UEFA cups and two European Super Cups - speak volumes for the legend, style and grandeur of a club that dominated football during the 60s, 70's and 80's.

Outstanding highlights include the 1966 World Cup winner's medal of Roger Hunt OBE, one of the greatest players to ever pull on the red shirt! See the four huge European Cups, the 'Treble Trophies: The Worthington Cup, the FA Cup and the UEFA Cup as well as the 2002 Worthington Cup along with Jerzy Dudek's Man of the match award from the game. Michael Owen's 'Ballon D'Or' remains on display for the present time.

In keeping with such a proud record, the Liverpool Football Club Museum & Tour Centre celebrates all things Liverpool, past present and future. It includes a 60-seat cinema showing four, 10 minute films on the history of the club including the superb 2000-2001 season, and a re-creation of the world famous standing Kop with an evocative film of this famous stand and supporters in full voice.

Liverpool FC History

When you walk through a storm, Hold your head up high, and don't be afraid of the dark. At the end of the storm there's a golden sky, and the sweet silver song of the lark'.

Liverpool FC actually began life as Everton at Anfield under John Houlding from 1888 to 1892. There was some issue about rent payment however, and in 1892 Everton left Houlding with Anfield and no football team. Together with a 500 pound loan, Houlding then proceeded to build Liverpool fact, looking to Scotland for talent. Indeed, the team became known as the 'Macs'.

The name of Bill Shankly is of course part of the legend - serving the club from 1959 to 1973 and doing it his way. Shankly's legend has much to do with his redefinition of the manager role. Straight off he demanded complete control of selection and transfers, and got it. Shankly reigns supreme in the Liverpool legend, although Paisley, Dalglish, Souness and now Houllier as manager come in as strong seconds. You can read the fascinating full story of Liverpool on the website - well worth dipping into before visiting Anfield and the museum. www.liverpoolfc.tv

Liverpool FC pays due homage to those 96 fans who lost their lives on 15th April 1989 at the FA Cup semi-final at Hillsborough, the Sheffield Wednesday Ground. The Hillsborough memorial stands alongside the Shankly Gates, and lists the names of the fans who died that day. Read the horrendous stories of those who were there, and the unbelievable ineptitude of the police that day. www.contrast.org/hillsborough/history/supportgroup.shtm
