 Phil Neal, Jimmy Case, Ray Clemence, David Fairclough, Joey Jones, Terry Mc Dermott from Liverpool's 1977 European Cup Winners team appearing at Sporting Memorabilia SUNDAY Only.
Just days after losing the FA Cup Final the Reds took Rome by storm and won the European cup for the first time. The Reds opened the scoring as Terry McDermott finished off a typically fluent Reds' move. The Reds held the lead till the second half when early after the re-start Allan Simonsen bagged an equaliser.
The 30,000 plus Reds in the crowd though were not to be disappointed as the mighty Reds stormed back. On sixty four minutes Tommy Smith rose in the area to send a Heighway corner into the top corner with a magnificent header. With just eight minutes to go and the Reds well in control Kevin Keegan went on a mazy run towards goal. German centre back Berti Vogts couldn't keep pace and brought Keegan to his knees just inside the area for a blatant penalty.
Phil Neal stepped up and calmly slotted the ball home for 3-1.
