Wednesday, 20th September 2006Goalscoring feats at St. James’ Park
On this day in 1987, Steve Nicol grabbed a hat-trick in our 4-1 win at Newcastle United, following John Aldridge’s opener. Twenty-six years earlier, right-half Gordon Milne scored his first reds goal, to help us to a 2-1 Second Division win there, with our other score coming from a George Heslop own goal.

Quick-fire Billy
On this day in 1958, Billy Liddell scored after sixteen seconds of our 3-1 win at Bristol City in the Second Division. He added another in the second half, with the scoring completed by right-back Don Campbell.

Full-back birthdays
Left-back Eddie Spicer was born on this day in 1922. He was decorated for bravery whilst serving in the Royal Marines in the Second World War, and went on to play 168 reds games, helping us to the first post-war League title and also playing in the 1950 FA Cup Final. Unfortunately a second broken leg ended his career in December 1953.

Full-back Tommy Lucas was born in St. Helens on this day in 1895. He signed from Ecces Borough in 1916 and played 366 reds games, winning one League title, and captaining England in his time at Anfield. Turn-of-the-century Scottish inside-left Hugh Morgan was born in Longriggend, Lanarkshire on this day in 1869. He struck eighteen times in 68 reds games after his arrival from St. Mirren in March 1898. He top scored in his first full season at Anfield, and also won two caps while on our books.

Out-foxed again
Three years ago today, Michael Owen netted from the spot before Emile Heskey struck the winner against his old club Leicester City at Anfield for the third consecutive season as we won 2-1.

Disappointment at The Dell
Kevin MacDonald broke his leg twenty years ago today as we lost 2-1 at Southampton, with Steve McMahon nabbing our consolation. Six years earlier, Graeme Souness and David Fairclough netted as we drew 2-2, with Phil Neal missing a penalty. We also drew on the south coast nine years ago today, with Karlheinz Riedle nabbing our goal.

A milestone day at Old Trafford
We lost 2-1 at Manchester United two years ago today, as we benefited from a John O’Shea own goal, sandwiched between a Mikael Silvestre brace for the home side. Steven Gerrard broke a bone in his foot in front of 67,857, the largest crowd to watch the reds in the Premier League to that point. This was our 2,000th away League match, and 4,000th League game overall, as United reached 200 League goals against us, with keeper Jerzy Dudek playing his hundredth reds game, and Ryan Giggs appearing for the 600th time for United. We had previously visited United on this day in 1893, playing Newton Heath as they were then known in a friendly at Bank Street. Patrick Gordon, Hugh McQueen and Malcolm McVean netted as we won 3-0.

Centenary defeat
On this day in 1988, we lost 2-1 at Arsenal in the Mercantile Credit Centenary Trophy, staged to celebrate a hundred years of the Football League. Steve Staunton bagged his first reds goal in this match, while Charlie Boyd sat on our bench for the only time, on his nineteenth birthday.

Derby joy
Billy Lacey struck a brace on this day in 1913 as we beat Everton 2-1 at Goodison Park in a First Division meeting.

Mixed fortunes against the Villains
We have faced Aston Villa three times in the top flight on this day in history, winning twice. John Toshack, Kevin Keegan and Jimmy Case netted as we won 3-0 at home on this day in 1975. Back in 1919, Dick Forshaw bagged the only goal of the game at Villa Park to hand us victory. However, Gordon Hodgson struck a brace as we lost 4-2 in the Midlands on this day in 1930.

Beattie beaten
Andy Beattie died on this day in 1983, aged seventy. He guested for the reds at full-back during the Second World War, and later spent some time on our backroom staff. He managed a host of clubs as well as the Scotland national side, working with Bill Shankly at Huddersfield Town, having played alongside him at Preston North End.

Young Englanders
On this day in 1983, future red Paul Walsh grabbed a brace as England Under-21’s beat their Danish counterparts 4-1 in a European Championships qualifier at Carrow Road. Ex-red Dave Watson and future red Mark Walters both made their debuts in this game, while fellow future red Mark Wright also played. Three years ago today, Michael Foley-Sheridan and David Raven both played for their countries at Under-19’s level in European Championships qualifiers. The Republic of Ireland trounced San Marino 10-1 in Serravalle, while England beat Liechtenstein 2-0 in Moscow.

Reds aiming to go to Italy
On this day in 1978, Phil Neal scored his third goal in four England games as they won 4-3 in a European Championships qualifier in Denmark. Emlyn Hughes skippered a side that also included Ray Clemence and ex-red Kevin Keegan, who netted twice. On the same day, Steve Heighway and future red Mark Lawrenson both played in the first ever senior international between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, at Lansdowne Road. Meanwhile, Kenny Dalglish and Graeme Souness both appeared for Scotland in their 3-2 win in Austria, as they too opened their campaign to qualify for the finals in Italy.

Nice one Cyril
Cyril Done scored a hat-trick as we beat Manchester City 4-2 in a Wartime League game at Anfield on this day in 1941, with Dickie Dorsett netting the other.

Fabs at the Olympics
Fábio Aurélio played for Brazil as they beat Japan 1-0 in an Olympics match in Brisbane six years ago today.

Twice against the Potters and Trotters
Daniel Cunliffe bagged a brace with John McCartney also on target as we beat Bolton Wanderers 3-1 in a friendly at Anfield on this day in 1897. Five years later, Leigh Roose struck through the wrong net in the second minute as were held to a 1-1 top-flight draw by Stoke in L4. The Trotters returned for a First Division fixture fifty years after their previous visit on this day, with the game this time ending goalless. Finally, we saw off Stoke City 3-1 at home in 1969, thanks to goals from Roger Hunt, Emlyn Hughes and Ian Callaghan.
