Liverpool v Sunderland

[Will]

Down Memory Lane

YNWA takes a look back at previous memorable home League meetings as Sunderland visit in the League for the 78th time on Saturday. We have an average record against the Wearsiders at Anfield, having won 39, drawn twenty and been beaten eighteen times.

 

Most recently

Ex-Black Cat Jordan Henderson played his hundredth reds game as we won 3-1in September 2012, our 400th Premier League victory. Daniel Sturridge opened the scoring with Luis Suárez adding two goals. We won 3-0 eight months earlier, with Suárez setting up Raheem Sterling who lobbed Simon Mignolet to open the scoring before the Uruguayan bagged himself a brace. Charlie Adam, Stewart Downing, José Enrique and Jordan Henderson all made their reds bows as we were held to a 1-1 draw in our season opener in August 2011. Luis Suárez missed a penalty before then heading in, with Stewart Downing rattling the crossbar before the break. However, Sebastian Larsson equalised in the second half.

 

We drew 2-2 in September 2010, with Dirk Kuyt opening the scoring after the referee ruled that the visitors had taken a free-kick when gifting the ball to the reds, despite vehement protests. Darren Bent’s brace, including one from the spot, put them ahead before Steven Gerrard headed in an equaliser. Pepe Reina kept his fiftieth clean sheet in the League, in his 92nd game, to set a new club record as we won 3-0 in February 2008. Peter Crouch and Fernando Torres struck before Steven Gerrard converted a late penalty.

 

Final games

Milan Baroš played his final reds game in August 2005, with Luis García making his fiftieth reds appearance, as Xabi Alonso nabbed the only goal of the game, with the visitors having Andy Welsh sent off, the second of fifteen dismissals against the reds that season, although this was later rescinded. Robbie Fowler made his 330th and final reds appearance in his first spell with the reds in November 2001 as Emile Heskey handed us a 1-0 win, breaking his duck after seventeen games without a goal. Robbie was sacrificed at half-time following the dismissal of Dietmar Hamann for a two-footed tackle on Bernt Haas, and joined Leeds United four days later.

 

In September 2000, Rigobert Song played his 38th and last reds game as we were held 1-1. Robbie Fowler played his 200th League game, with Michael Owen grabbing our goal. Ian Rush bagged the only goal in March 1982 when David Johnson made his 213rd and final reds appearance, as a substitute for Craig Johnston. Scottish forward Bill Kinghorn bagged his fourth goal in his nineteenth and final reds game as we were held to a 1-1 draw in April 1939, with the legendary Raich Carter on target against the reds. Centre-half Norman James played his eighth and last reds game in our 3-3 draw in December 1932, with centre-forward Harold Barton, inside-left Syd Roberts and forward Dave Wright on target. James Connor nabbed two of his five goals past us, with Raich Carter scoring the first of his six against the reds.

 

Reds debutants

Emile Heskey made his reds debut in a 1-1 draw in March 2000, with Patrik Berger bagging a penalty in the second minute. The same game also brought Erik Meijer’s final reds start. He only managed seven more appearances as a substitute before joining Hamburger SV via a loan spell with Preston North End. Forward Colin Russell played his only reds game as Sunderland won 1-0 in May 1981, with Sam Allardyce playing his final game for the visitors and Stan Cummins netting the crucial goal.

 

Harold Fitzpatrick scored on his reds debut to hand us a 1-0 victory back in October 1907 as outside-right Arthur Goddard played his 200th reds game, while left-half Samuel Hignett made his only senior appearance for the club. In March 1895, inside-forward Frank Becton scored on his reds debut in a 3-2 defeat, with Jimmy Ross also on the scoresheet. Left-back Billy Dunlop made his reds bow in the same game, the first time we had ever entertained the Wearsiders. We were held to a 2-2 draw in October 1925 when Harry Chambers and Dick Forshaw struck for the reds. Jock McNab put through his own net while outside-right Cyril Oxley made his reds bow as Dave Halliday bagged the first of his thirteen strikes past us.

 

Trebles for and against

Roger Hunt netted three times in just nineteen minutes in the second half of our top-flight meeting in February 1966. He actually scored all four goals in our 4-0 victory that day. Harry Race netted three goals in our 5-2 win in April 1929. Gordon Hodgson bagged our other two goals, with Dave Halliday netting twice for the visitors who had Adam Allan dismissed. Inside-left Davy Hannah grabbed a treble in November 1896 as we won 3-0 to give us our first win in this fixture. Arthur Metcalf struck a very late brace as we were beaten 5-2 in April 1913, with Charlie Buchan nabbing a hat-trick, three of the eighteen strikes he registered against the reds during his Sunderland career. He had already struck five times in the reverse fixture that season. James Richardson added the first two of the five goals he scored past us.

 

Big wins

We have beaten Sunderland by four goals to nil on four separate occasions in top-flight meetings at Anfield. Billy Liddell and Albert Stubbins both bagged braces in August 1950, with Liddell also on target two years earlier, with William Watkinson, Willie Fagan and Jack Balmer also having netted. Jack Balmer struck twice with Berry Nieuwenhuys and Phil Taylor also on the scoresheet in March 1938. Alf Hanson grabbed a brace in December 1936, with Berry Nieuwenhuys and Jack Balmer also on the scoresheet. We also won heavily in September 1922, when Harry Chambers scored two and Dick Johnson and Donald Mackinlay all struck in a 5-1 thumping, with Dick Forshaw netting in his hundredth reds game and Charlie Buchan bagging the Mackems’ consolation.

 

A’Court’s milestones

Left-winger Alan A'Court struck the first of his 63 reds goals as we emerged 2-0 victors in March 1953. Sammy Smyth had opened the scoring inside a quarter of an hour. He played his 200th League game for the reds aged 24 years and 95 days in our 3-1 Second Division win in January 1959, and remains the youngest ever reds player to achieve this milestone. Johnny Wheeler, Louis Bimpson and Fred Morris struck the goals.

 

Runs coming to an end

In October 1983, Phil Neal missed his first League game since December 1974 as we went down 1-0 through a Gary Rowell penalty. Keeper Elisha Scott ended a long run in October 1924, making his 132nd consecutive appearance in our 3-1 win, with Archie Rawlings netting twice and Harry Chambers also on target. John Jones replaced him between the sticks for the next three games.

 

More milestones

Jack Parkinson struck our thousandth League goal as we won 3-0 in April 1909, with Ronald Orr converting a penalty and Alex Raisbeck also on target. Archie McPherson was on the scoresheet as we were beaten 4-2 in April 1931, with Gordon Hodgson converting a spot-kick in his 200th reds game. Bobby Gurney struck twice for the visitors, adding to the hat-trick he had already scored against the reds in the reverse fixture that season.

 

Well beaten

We suffered our heaviest ever home League defeat in this fixture in April 1930, as Bobby Gurney scored four goals in Sunderland’s 6-0 victory, the first of his sixteen strikes past us. Tommy Gracie netted our consolation as we lost 3-1 in September 1913 with Billy Lacey missing a penalty. Inside-forward Arthur Metcalf was badly injured in this game, missing the next five months. James Richardson struck twice, with Charlie Buchan also on target for the visitors.

 

Losing runs

Sunderland won for the third consecutive League season at Anfield on Boxing Day in 1901, 1-0 on this occasion. They repeated the feat in March 1932, this time with a 2-1 victory, with Gordon Hodgson nabbing our consolation. Billy Eden and Bobby Gurney scored for the visitors.

 

Other memorable meetings

Ray Kennedy and Phil Thompson both headed in goals as Emlyn Hughes played his 400th League game for the reds in our 2-0 win on New Year’s Day in 1977. We won a season opener 4-2 in August 1949, with Bob Paisley, Jack Balmer, Kevin Baron and Albert Stubbins all on target, with Billy Liddell missing a penalty. Dickie Davis struck one of his seven goals against the reds, with Ivor Broadis also on target. We were thumped 4-1 in September 1909, with Joe Hewitt nabbing our consolation, his 74th and last reds goal. John Thompson struck twice, with George Holley and Jackie Mordue also on target. We lost 2-1 in September 1900, with wing-half Charlie Wilson bagging his first reds goal. Billy Hogg bagged one of his five goals past us, with Jimmy Millar also netting.

Double Agents

 

As we prepare to entertain Sunderland on Saturday, YNWA looks at the careers of some of those who have represented both sides.

 

Current double agents

Simon Mignolet joined Sunderland from Koninklijke Sint-Truidense Voetbalverenigin for £2m in June 2010. He moved to Anfield for £9m after three years in the North East, having played 101 times for the Black Cats. He has so far pulled off a string of superb saves in his 32 reds games to dates, keeping nine clean sheets. Fabio Borini is spending this season on loan at the Stadium of Light, so far notching six times in 31 outings, including the opening goal in their Capital One Cup Final defeat to Manchester City at Wembley. He signed from Roma for £10.4m in July 2012 to become new boss Brendan Rodgers’ first capture. His only campaign in L4 to date was badly interrupted by injuries, as he struck twice in twenty reds games.

 

Midfielder Jordan Henderson arrived from Sunderland in June 2011 for £16m, for whom he netted five times in 79 outings after signing professional terms in July 2008. He has so far struck twelve times in 127 reds games, helping us to claim the Carling Cup in his first season. Assistant Manager Colin Pascoe followed Brendan Rodgers to Anfield from Swansea City in May 2012. He joined Sunderland from Swansea in March 1988 for £70,000, scoring 25 times from midfield in 149 games before returning to the Vetch Field in August 1993 for the same fee, after a loan spell.

 

Uruguayan centre-half Sebastián Coates signed from Nacional for £7m in August 2011, playing 24 games to date, notching twice before joining Sunderland on loan in September. He has so far turned out just once. Mark Prudhoe signed as a professional for Sunderland in September 1981. He only made seven first-team appearances for the Wearsiders before joining Birmingham City three years later. He was loaned to the reds from Stoke City in November 1994, but never made our first team, although he was an unused substitute eight times. He is now coaching for the Black Cats in their Academy.

 

The lord of Frodsham

French striker Djibril Cissé arrived at Anfield for a club record £14m fee in July 2004. His first season was one of tremendous ups and downs, including a horrific leg break and converting a penalty in the Champions League Final shoot-out. He bagged a total of 24 goals in 79 reds games, but spent a season on loan at Olympique de Marseille, for whom he signed permanently for £6.3m in July 2007. He spent the 2008/09 season on loan at the Stadium Of Light from the French side, notching eleven times in 38 outings.

 

Other recent double agents

Stewart Downing joined the Black Cats on loan from Middlesbrough in October 2003, bagging three goals in seven games. He joined the reds from Aston Villa for £18.5m in July 2011, netting seven goals in 91 games, as well as coolly converting his penalty in our Wembley shoot-out victory against Cardiff City in February 2012. He moved on to West Ham United for £6m in August 2013.

 

El-Hadji Diouf joined the reds for £10m from Racing Club de Lens in June 2002, but only netted six times in eighty games. He was sold to Bolton Wanderers in June 2005 for £4.5m after a season-long loan. He signed for the Mackems in July 2008, failing to score in sixteen games before moving on to Blackburn Rovers for £2.5m in January 2009. Boudewijn Zenden signed on a free transfer in July 2005 after his one-year contract with Middlesbrough had expired. He struck twice in 47 senior reds games as injury hampered his career at Anfield. He helped us to claim the UEFA Super Cup and FA Community Shield, as well as reach the Champions League Final in his brief time with the reds. Bolo left the club in July 2007 to join Olympique de Marseille. He moved to Sunderland in October 2009, scoring four times in fifty outings, although only thirteen of those were starts, and was released at the end of the 2010/11 season.

 

Italian left-back Andrea Dossena signed from Udinese for £7m in July 2008 in a four-year deal. He made 31 appearances, saving his two goals for the same week, first at home to Real Madrid and then at Manchester United. He left Anfield to sign for SSC Napoli for €4.25m in January 2010. He moved from there to Sunderland in September 2013 after Rafael Benítez’s arrival at the Stadio San Paolo, playing eleven games without scoring before being released at the end of the season. Greek centre-half Sotirios Kyrgiakos joined the reds from A.E.K Athens for £2m in August 2009, following Sami Hyypiä’s departure. Soto bagged three goals in 49 largely solid performances at the back, becoming something of a cult figure for his no-nonsense style. He joined VfL Wolfsburg on a free transfer in August 2011, but moved to the North East on loan in January 2012, playing four times.

 

Anthony Le Tallec spent a season on loan with Sunderland in 2005/06, having struggled to break through to the first team at Anfield after signing from Le Havre AC along with forward Florent Sinama-Pongolle for a combined £6m in September 2001. He struck once in 32 reds appearances, and bagged five goals in 31 games as the Black Cats were relegated back to the Championship with just three wins and fifteen points. He returned to France to sign for Le Mans UC 72 in June 2008. Right-back Stephen Wright signed on as a pro in August 1997 and made 21 reds appearances before moving to Sunderland for £3m in August 2002. He netted twice in 105 games for them, with injuries blighting his time there before being released in May 2008. Don Hutchison signed from Hartlepool United for £175,000 in November 1990 and struck ten times in sixty first-team appearances before joining West Ham United for £1.5m in August 1994. He moved to Sunderland from Everton for £2.5m in July 2000, grabbing ten goals in 39 games before returning to the Hammers for £5m in August 2001.

 

Jason McAteer signed from Bolton Wanderers for £4.5m in September 1995, just five months after impressing against the reds in the Coca Cola Cup Final. He bagged six goals in his 139 reds games before joining Blackburn Rovers for £4m in January 1999. He joined Sunderland from Ewood Park for £1m in October 2001, and struck five goals in 61 appearances for the Black Cats. Phil Babb arrived at Anfield from Coventry City for a club record £3.6m, also the British record fee for a defender. He netted once in 170 reds appearances before being released on a free transfer to Sporting Clube de Portugal in July 2000. He then moved onto Sunderland for free in May 2002. However, he was unable to keep them in the Premiership in his first season at the Stadium Of Light, making sixty appearances in total without netting. McAteer and Babb were both released by Sunderland in May 2004. McAteer went on to join Tranmere Rovers, while Babb retired from the game. Steve Staunton joined Sunderland in August 2011, scouting upcoming opponents for Steve Bruce.

 

Top scorers

Sam Raybould signed from New Brighton Tower for £250 in January 1900 and was the first player to score a hundred League goals for the reds, a feat he achieved in 162 matches. He was top scorer with seventeen when we won the title for the first time in 1901 and moved on to Sunderland in May 1907 after a total of 130 goals in 226 reds games, having helped us to two League titles and the Second Division championship. He notched thirteen times in 27 League outings in his one season with the North East club, before moving on to Woolwich Arsenal.

 

Joe Hewitt arrived from Sunderland for £150 in February 1904, and was top scorer as we won the title for the second time in 1906, netting a total of 74 goals in 164 reds games before joining Bolton Wanderers in August 1910. He also served the reds as a coach, handyman and finally press box attendant in over sixty years’ service. Sunderland-born Robbie Robinson moved to the reds for £500 from his hometown club in the same month as Hewitt. He was top scorer as we won the Second Division title the following season, and also helped us claim the First Division championship in 1906. During the latter stages of his time with the reds, he moved into the half-back line but still bagged a total of 65 goals in 271 games.

 

In goal

Ned Doig made 53 reds appearances, helping us to the Second Division title in 1905, and playing on until 1908, finishing as our oldest ever player aged 41 years and 165 days. He had signed from Sunderland for £150 in August 1904, with whom he made 452 senior appearances, helping them to claim four League titles in his fourteen years there. Former reserves custodian Alec Chamberlain joined Sunderland on a free transfer from Luton Town in July 1993. He made 108 appearances for the Wearsiders, moving on to Watford for £40,000 three years later.

 

Bob Bolder signed from Sheffield Wednesday for £125,000 in 1983, after more than 200 games for the Owls. He never made our first team, but sat on the bench at the 1984 European Cup Final in Rome, one of seventeen times he did so in Europe’s premier club competition, also doing so on four other occasions. He moved on to Sunderland for £100,000 the following year after a month-long loan spell, playing 22 League games in 1985/86 before joining Charlton Athletic. Mike Hooper signed from Wrexham for £40,000 in October 1985 but spent most of his Anfield career as understudy to first Bruce Grobbelaar and then David James, although he managed to make 73 first-team appearances. He moved to Newcastle United for £550,000 in September 1993, spending time on loan at Sunderland in 1995, without playing a senior game.

 

Also up front

Albert Stubbins was an amateur with Sunderland prior to joining Newcastle United, and later guested for them during the war. He arrived from St. James’s Park for a British record £12,500 fee in September 1946 and struck 83 times in 178 reds matches, helping to power us to the first League championship played after the Second World War. He became a scout for the club in 1954, a post he held for the rest of the decade, and was the only footballer to appear on the cover of The Beatles’ “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band” album. Forward Tom Scott signed from Darlington in February 1925, whom he had joined from Sunderland, making eighteen reds appearances and notching four times before joining Bristol City in October 1928.

 

David Hodgson joined the reds from Middlesbrough for £450,000 in August 1982. He never fully established himself in his two years at Anfield, scoring ten times in 49 appearances, although he did claim a League championship medal and helped us to clinch the FA Charity Shield before he left for Sunderland for £125,000. He went on to bag five goals in forty League games on Wearside, before moving on to Norwich City after two seasons.

 

Dave Wright bagged 35 goals in exactly a century of reds games after signing from Sunderland in March 1930. He remained at Anfield until July 1934, when he joined Hull City for £1,000. Centre-forward George Ainsley played just four times for the Roker Park outfit, and guested for the reds during the Second World War. Dick Johnson joined the reds in January 1920, having guested for Sunderland during the war. He struck thirty times in 82 outings, including two hat-tricks, helping us to the League title in 1923 before leaving for Stoke in February 1925. He was noted for his overhead bicycle kicks.

 

Left at the back

Sunderland-born left-back Alan Kennedy is best remembered for his winning strikes in two European Cup Finals, but also won five League titles, four League Cups and three FA Charity Shields after moving from Newcastle United for £330,000 in August 1978, making 359 appearances and notching twenty times in his seven years at Anfield. He joined Sunderland for £100,000 in September 1985, where he notched twice in 54 League games. Dominic Matteo joined Sunderland on loan in March 1995. He played just one first-team game while on Wearside, returning to establish himself at Anfield. He played 155 games for us before leaving for Leeds United in a £4m deal in August 2000.

 

Barry Venison notched twice in 205 games for the Roker Park outfit, including becoming the youngest skipper at a Wembley final for the 1985 Milk Cup, before moving to Anfield for £200,000 in July 1986. He went on to score three goals in 158 reds appearances, winning two League titles, an FA Cup and two FA Charity Shields in his time at Anfield. Scottish international left-back Billy Dunlop signed from Abercorn for £35 in January 1895, and scored three times in 363 reds games between then and 1909, winning two League titles and two Second Division Championships. He later coached for the Wearside club. Another left-back, Bernie Ramsden, arrived on a free transfer from Sheffield Victoria in March 1935. He played 63 times without notching in a reds career interrupted by the war, moving to Roker Park from Anfield in March 1948.

 

Scots galore

Scottish international right-half Tom Morrison signed from St. Mirren for £4,000 in November 1927. He struck four times in 254 reds games and joined Sunderland in November 1935, helping them to claim the League title in his first season. Inside-right George Livingstone signed from Celtic in May 1902, whom he had joined from Sunderland, and bagged four goals in 32 games the following season. He moved on to Manchester City after just one year at Anfield. Right-back Donald McCallum arrived from Queen’s Park in 1901, but played just twice before moving on to Greenock Morton in 1903, from where he joined Sunderland.

 

On the wing

Howard Gayle was the first post-war black player to represent Liverpool. He made only five first-team appearances for the reds before moving on to Birmingham City in January 1983. He then joined Sunderland, turning out in 48 League games, in which he bagged four goals. Northern Irish inside-left Davy Hannah signed from Sunderland in November 1894. He was the cousin of Andrew Hannah, a Scottish right-back who left Anfield for Rob Roy soon afterwards. Davy struck twelve times in 33 reds games.

Outside-left Gordon Gunson arrived from the Mackems in March 1930 and made 87 appearances, scoring an impressive 26 times in his injury-affected time at Anfield. He moved on to Swindon Town in June 1934. Another winger, Norman Clarke played four League games for Sunderland in 1962/63 and scouted for the reds a few years ago.

 

Other double agents

Tom Watson managed us for nineteen years until his death in May 1915. He had led Sunderland to the League title three times, and won two more championships during his time at Anfield, in 1901 and 1906, as well as leading us to our first FA Cup Final in 1914. England international Paul Stewart signed for the reds from Tottenham Hotspur for £2.3m in July 1992. However, he scored just three times in 42 appearances in nearly four seasons. He joined Sunderland on loan in August 1995, playing just twice in his two months at Roker Park, although they signed him on a free transfer in March 1996. He netted five times in a further 37 games, before being offloaded to Stoke City at the end of the following season.

 

Left-back Len Ashurst signed for Sunderland in 1957 after being released by the reds, having signed on as an apprentice in 1953. He played 458 games for the Mackems, making him fourth in their all-time appearances list, but scored just four times. He returned to Roker Park in March 1984 as Manager, but was sacked after just fourteen months, despite leading them to the Milk Cup Final. Sunderland-born forward Bill Hunter joined the reds from Airdrieonians in December 1908 but only played once before moving back to Wearside in May 1909.

 

Dave Galley joined Sunderland as Senior Physiotherapist in June 2010, moving on to Nottingham Forest last summer. He had roles with Port Vale, Fulham, Luton Town and Sheffield Wednesday before joining the reds as a physiotherapist in the summer of 1999. He left in 2005 but returned to Melwood for a second spell in 2009. Reserves winger Brian Mooney signed from Home Farm for £20,000 in August 1983 but only ever played one senior reds game, as a substitute for Jim Beglin in a League Cup win at Fulham in October 1986. He was sold to Preston North End for £25,000 after a successful loan spell. He moved on to Sunderland for £225,000 in 1991, but only struck once in 27 games before returning to Ireland to sign for Shelbourne in 1993. Other double agents include 1970’s midfielder Ray Kennedy, who later spent some time coaching with Sunderland.

[matlfc]

Stick with kolo and lucas. Rest Gerrard. Play Can.

[Rory Fitzgerald]

Yeah, give Gerrard that rest ahead of Basel.

[Hassony]

Hopefully Moreno will be back in

 

maybe it's worth resting Lucas and Gerrard as they'll be needed against Basel and United

[David Hodgson]

Hopefully Moreno will be back in

 

maybe it's worth resting Lucas and Gerrard as they'll be needed against Basel and United

Lucas is a big dilemma . Maybe Allen was left out v Leicester to come in for Lucas here.

 

Gerrard's tricky too. Maybe he starts him and takes him off early ?

 

Surely Coutinho comes back in for this one. Moreno should start, I'd think.

 

Any sign that balotelli s back yet ?

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

Think we'll go -

 

The usual 5 at the back, unless Moreno comes in & Johnson shifts over - so -

 

Coco

 

Krusty, Ronald McDonald, Shakes, Yorick

 

Can, Hendo, Allen

 

Phil, Sterling, A Striker who's fit

 

 

Rest Gerrard & Lucas ahead of Basle

[Dan]

Allen should play. Good sub the other night bringing him on.

[fred milne]

I'd go with the same team that played against Stoke

However, if we should be thinking of wrapping anyone in cotton wool for Tuesday it should be Sterling as he is our main attacking threat.
