Sad news for Liverpool FC today with the passing of Gerry Byrne one of England’s 1966 heroes. He’ll be best remembered for his heroics and bravery of the year before as Liverpool won the FA Challenge Cup for the first time in 1965.

Jesus he was a good age so
Jesus he was still playing 101 years after wining the fa cup. That is some career.
I know chief. Couldnt resist☺
Tassotti:
Our shared past with United was so tangled, so embittered, it consumed me. I was always desperate to play against them, even if there had been more defeats than victories. It seemed different for Daniel Sturridge.
My memories of that game are dominated by the build-up, and Daniel feeling he was touch and go in terms of his fitness and desire to play. Facing Man U without Luis (Suarez) was tough enough, but if we lost Daniel as well, most of our ammunition would be gone.
We stayed at the Hope Street Hotel and had our usual team walk before the match, I positioned myself so that I walked next to Daniel for the whole 15 minutes. I had to try to persuade him to play.
Daniel is one of those people you have to boost sometimes with a “Come on! You’re our main man, just go for it!”. You never needed to say that to Luis. It was as if he was indestructible. Luis doesn’t really do treatment rooms, that’s the Suarez mentality, he’s run through a brick wall for you.
It was yet another of my tasks as captain, but I was probably more like a fan on the walk trying to persuade Daniel, eventually begging him to play. “Alright”, Daniel said, “I’ll give it a go”. At last I could turn my attention to United.

Moreno 1-3. Cruising now. HT
Cracking pass and finish it has to be said
Lovely pass from Allen for the first one too. Unbelievable to think Sturridge finished the 2nd with his right foot.
Lallana has been brilliant.

4-1. Origi with a phenomenal finish.
I’m sitting here thinking that this is champagne football.
