Better Red than dead

OF ALL the glorious nights in Liverpool’s rich European history the 1977 victory against Saint-Etienne remains the most revered.

It was the European Cup quarter-final tie in which they came back from a 1-0 deficit to claim a 3-2 aggregate victory with a late, late winner from ‘Supersub’ David Fairclough.

The late Emlyn Hughes called it the ‘match of my life,’ Liverpudlians old enough to remember it still maintain the frantic atmosphere was the most inspiring ever witnessed at Anfield.
