It's been on tonight on some SKY channel called ESPN, so no doubt it will be repeated for those who missed it. There was a documentary on before it as well on Shankly, Sir Bob and Fagan.
Did anyone catch it? I SKY Plussed it and will watch it shortly into the early hours.......
The match was played before I was born (I was born in 1979) but have seen the goals countless times on video and DVD. Gerald Sinstadt's unmistakable tone was commentating. We won the match 3 - 1 if I'm not mistaken but when Ray Kennedy scored, he famously shouted 2 - 2, because of the aggregate score.
Then Supersub struck again........
I've read elsewhere that St Etienne were the favourites that year and yet again we triumphed against the odds. I think they had been beaten finalists the year earlier against Bayern Munich so St Etienne definitely had pedigree.
Watch it if you get the chance. It's said it was the greatest night ever at Anfield.
Of course, it was twenty-nine years ago. If there is anyone who posts on here who was at the game and also the Chelsea semi-final game last season, or even the famous Houllier Roma game, it would be interesting to hear what you have to say about the difference and electricity of atmosphere between the games.
