Does anyone know? Anyone here old enough to remember the team of 1963-64 because I'm not

What's that vase-like thing in the bottom of the picture? Is that an award of some kind?

Great photo that, and to think Yeats was described as a collossus by Shankly, just goes to show how much bigger and stronger players are nowadays. He's probably the same size as Djimi Traore, Tommy Lawrence was 5'10". and we think of Shay Given as small!

He looks big enough to me to be honest. Anyway most of it is attitude. Keane isn't very big yet still often bossed players way bigger than him.

This photo wasn't taken at the Victoria Ground. First of all, we would have been in our change strip if we'd been away. Secondly, Willie Stevenson didn't play in the game at Stoke but Chris Lawler did. In the photo Willie is kitted up but the Ghost is in a suit.

 

The picture is taken in the dressing room at Anfield in the old Archibald Leitch designed main stand after we had beaten Arsenal 5-0 to seal the Championship with four games to go. The last game of that season was at Stoke (we lost 3-1). The current main stand and the dressing rooms were built about 1973.

 

The peculiar trophy is one that team paraded after the game because the Football League couldn't get the real one back from the previous season'swinners who claimed that it was theirs until the end of the season. For those who think bitterness is a new phenomenon, that team was our rivals across the park.

 

And I am so old that I was at the game which was also featured on MOTD.

Exactly right, Scally Bob.

 

I was at the game that day. I was in the Boys' Pen. Do you remember the Boys' Pen? Stuck up in the top left hand corner of the Kop as you looked at the pitch. The view was terrible. It was supposed to be safer than the Kop but wasn't. We still had waves of bodies breaking on the crush barriers only this time they were deliberately created by scallies at the back and were dangerous because they were unconnected to events on the pitch. There would be a throw-in on the half-way line to the opposition and then suddenly you found yourself being hurtled down the steps in a mad Irish Jig of arms and legs and elbows.

 

Then there were the roving gangs of bullies looking for likely targets to do over. I'd much rather have taken my chances in the Kop, thank you very much but that day the Kop was full to bursting point well in advance of the kick-off and it was the only way I could get in.

Would that be the saem 5-0 win that was on Panarama when they studied the Kop?

 

Brilliant footage that....

 

And for those of you who moan about the quality of the songs now... we sang Cilla Black then

You're right. Rowdy missed the game so the principle was right the names I got wrong.

I was in my early teens and was at the game with a mate who lived on Holt Road. 38 years later we met for a few pints at Cardiff in 2001.

 

We were right at the front of the Anfield Road end for the 5-0 game, squashed up against the wall. We used to go there until we graduated to the Kop. Apart from the "cup" in the picture, my main memory from that " spec "is seeing the ball sail wide of the goal at the Kop end after poor Ronnie Moran missed a penalty against Swansea in a cup game.
