Was reading about how we only need to sell a few more tickets to break our record sales for a blues match when I started thinking back to Wed 10th Jan, 1979 and thought it would be nice for those of us old and fortunate enough to be at the Liverpool match to share a few memories.
The 3rd round FA cup match was supposed to be played on the Saturday but was called off due to snow and had to be switched to the Wed night.
I was 13 at the time and went to the match with my Dad and sat in the main stand and I do remember the Liverpool team being made up of players when they were at the height but have just googled the team and it reads like a whos who of liverpool legends:
Clemence, Neal, Hughes, Thompson, R.Kennedy, Hansen, Dalglish, Case, Fairclough, McDermott (Heighway 77), Souness.
Manager: Bob Paisley
My main abiding memories of that night are the old South Bank (before the flats) absolutley heaving with thousands upon thousands of blues fans (no thoughts of health and safety then!!).
Remember Derek Parker being clean through late on to score a possile winner only for Clemence to slide in at his feet (I think).
Just wondered if anyone else had anything they wanted to reminisce about that night when over 31000 were packed into the Hall.
