Red trebles… On this day in 1925, Dick Forshaw scored a hat-trick as we thumped Everton 5-1 at Anfield, with James Walsh and Harry 'Smiler' Chambers netting the others.
Forty years ago today, Bobby Graham bagged a treble on his League debut as we beat Aston Villa 5-1 at Anfield, with Ian Callaghan and Roger Hunt also on target.
Goalscoring debuts… On this day in 1931, right-half Ted Savage scored two goals on his reds bow as we beat Grimsby Town 4-0 at Anfield, with Gordon Hodgson also netting a brace.
Alec goes the wrong way… On this day in 1970, left-back Alec Lindsay scored an own goal to condemn us to a 1-0 defeat at Southampton.
In Euro action... We have played four European ties on this day, winning two and drawing the others. A Jari Litmanen goal, in the team due to an injury to Michael Owen, was enough to see off Dynamo Kyiv in a Champions League group game at Anfield three years ago today. Five years earlier, we beat Finnish side Myllykosken Pallo-47 3-1 in a European Cup Winners' Cup match, with Patrik Berger, Stan Collymore and John Barnes on target, as we progressed 4-1 on aggregate.
We survived a siege to hold Eintracht Frankfurt to a goalless draw in West Germany on this day in 1972, to reach the Second Round of the UEFA Cup thanks to a 2-0 first leg win. We reached the same stage of that competition nine years ago today, despite not being able to break down Russians Alania Vladikavkaz at Anfield, as the game ended without score, although Michael Thomas had a goal disallowed for offside. However, our 2-1 away win was enough to take us through.
Three failures against the Baggies... We have faced West Bromwich Albion on three occasions on this day in history, without managing a win. We were held to a goalless draw at Anfield in 1896. Worse came seven years later when we lost 3-1 at home, with Jack Cox grabbing our consolation. In 1914 we were thumped 4-0 at The Hawthorns.
A Low end... Centre-half Norman Low made his thirteenth and final reds appearance on this day in 1936, deputising for Tom Bradshaw in our 2-0 defeat at Leeds United.
Olympic defeat… Brad Friedel was on the losing side four years ago today, as Spain beat the USA 3-1 in the Semi-final of the Sydney Olympics.
International red saint… On this day in 1961, Ian St. John won his first cap as a red, and his eighth for Scotland in total. He scored in their 3-2 World Cup qualifying defeat of Czechoslovakia at Hampden Park.
Twelve years later to the day, the same fixture was played, this time as a qualifier for the 1974 World Cup in West Germany. Celtic's Kenny Dalglish played in the Scots' 2-1 win.
Defeat to the Mancs... Jack Cox netted to add to an Alex Raisbeck penalty as we lost 3-2 to Manchester United at their old Bank Street ground on this day in 1908.
Zico junior heads south… On this day in 1996, reserves defender Ashley Neal joined Third Division Brighton & Hove Albion on loan. Phil Neal's son made four starts for the Seagulls, all ending in defeat.
