Titi's tears
1999 - Titi Camara scored the only goal of the game at home to West Ham United, and then broke down in tears as he celebrated. He later revealed that his father had died earlier that day, "That goal was for my dad. It contributed to an extremely emotional day in my life. I did not want to let my team-mates down, which is why I insisted on playing. With Michael Owen and Robbie Fowler both injured, they needed me."
Happy birthday Phil
1942 - Phil Chisnall was born in Manchester. He signed from Manchester United for £25,000 in April 1964, after ten goals in 47 United games. However, he never established himself at Anfield, netting twice in nine appearances, leaving for Southend United in August 1967.
1899 - William Cunningham was born in Radcliffe in Lancashire. He signed from Blyth Spartans for £50 in May 1920, but played just three times before joining Barrow in January 1924.

1934 - Defender Fred Rogers debuted in our 2-2 top-flight draw at Preston North End, with Gordon Hodgson and Vic Wright netting.

Trebles galore

1928 - Gordon Hodgson scored a thirteen-minute first-half hat-trick as we drew 4-4 at Arsenal in a First Division meeting, with Dick Edmed netting the other.
1906 - Robbie Robinson bagged a treble as we beat Manchester City by the odd goal in nine at Anfield. Sam Raybould and Willie McPherson scored our others.

Half a century for Bob
1976 - Bob Paisley secured his fiftieth League victory as reds boss as a John Toshack goal was enough to defeat Leicester City at Filbert Street.

Team of the year
