Memories - 1986

Liverpool Football Club - General Discussion

Everyone seems a bit down at the mo so here is a cracking thread that will bring the memories flooding back.

Those where the day's my friend...

AS Liverpool head to Chelsea, it's the most obvious game for this week's look back.

A rare victory at Stamford Bridge courtesy of a goal from one of the finest players ever to wear the red of Liverpool.

Obviously not Bruno Cheyrou's match-winning effort last year but the one and only Kenny Dalglish clinching the title back in May 1986.

Kenny Dalglish, like the majority of truly great play-ers, was a one-off. And that strike at Stamford Bridge was as much proof of that as any of the 172 goals he scored for Liverpool.

As they are now, Everton were ahead of playermanager Dalglish's Liverpool. But a stunning run at the end of the campaign meant his side went to Stamford Bridge with the destiny of the title in their own hands.

A victory over Chelsea would mean even if Howard Kendall's Blues won by a huge margin, say 6-1, at home to Southampton, if wouldn't matter.

The championship trophy would be making the short journey back across Stanley Park. And well, that's exactly what happened.

Chelsea has never been a particularly nice place to go even before the cosmetic surgery on and off the field that has happened since the 1980s. But back then the loveable Chelsea rogues were always happy to chase you down the Kings Road.

But with Liverpool on the road to the Double, thousands of Reds packed their running shoes and packed into the big away end to cheer the champions-elect to victory.

For those who have been living on another planet and have neer seen it, the goal that clinched the match came after Ronnie Whelan's pass was flicked over the Chelsea rearguard by Jim Beglin and Kenny was on it like a flash. Chest, knee, volley, goal... simple.

Dalglish's bright wide-eyed smile was one of the best sights for a Liverpool supporter and it signalled the Reds were about to claim a sweet 16th title.

The FA Cup followed a week later and bragging rights on Merseyside were assured for some time to come.

For me as a kid - The sight of Kenny, goal scored, arms out wide with the biggest cheshire cat grin you will ever see was what the Liverpool team of the eighties was all about :D

Walk on...

And Dalglish is in here...yes the player manager scores the goal that may edge Liverpool nearer to their 16th championship. What a great season that was! Sorry to talk of another game but does anyone remember the cup tie at Vicarage rd against Watford? John Barnes scored from a free-kick to give them a half time lead and it looked like we were on the way out until a late Jan Molby pen sent the game into extra time. Ian Rush scored the winner with a left footer that went in off the post. That was one hell of a night.
