ON THIS DAY

For the second time in three years Wembley hosted an all-Merseyside FA Cup final between Liverpool and Everton. In the first of those finals - in May 1986 - Liverpool beat their great rivals 3-1 to complete their first League and FA Cup double. This time the Reds took the lead with a goal from John Aldridge after just four minutes, a lead they held until the last kick of the 90 minutes when Stuart McCall hit an equaliser. Ian Rush restored Liverpool's lead in the fifth minute of extra time, Stuart McCall equalised again with Rush scoring what was the winner two minutes later. Another success for the red half of Liverpool but with the Hillsborough tragedy having taken place only five weeks earlier celebrations were very much muted.

Bobby Moore made his England debut and Jimmy Greaves scored a hat-trick in England’s 4-0 friendly victory in Peru. Those were the days!
