Souey's debut
1978 - Graeme Souness made his reds bow as a David Johnson goal gave us victory at West Bromwich Albion.
1933 - We also travelled to the Baggies, losing 2-0 in our FA Cup Third Round tie.

Ablett across the park
1992 - Gary Ablett was sold to Everton for £750,000 after one goal in 147 games for the reds. He had helped us to two League titles, FA Cup and FA Charity Shield and later won a second FA Cup during his time at Goodison.

Beating Spurs
2006 - Harry Kewell volleyed the only goal of the game as Tottenham Hotspur left Anfield with their customary defeat. Paul Stalteri was sent off for the visitors, while Steven Warnock was completing his half century of reds games. The crowd of 44,983 was the largest since Anfield became an all-seater stadium.

Another debutant
1967 - Ian Ross debuted in our 1-0 win at Sheffield Wednesday, with Peter Thompson scoring the only goal of the game.
1989 - We also visited Hillsborough, drawing 2-2 with Steve Nicol and John Aldridge getting on the scoresheet within a minute of each other.

Hatters fail to show
1987 - Our FA Cup Third Round replay with Luton Town at Anfield was postponed after the Hatters failed to turn up on time! Although the country was suffering with bad weather, the Anfield pitch was deemed playable and Luton were informed that the match was definitely going ahead. However, they did not allow enough time to make the journey and so the game had to be called off, despite many of their fans managing to arrive. Things got even worse for Mark Lawrenson, who crashed his car driving home from Anfield after skidding on black ice. The game was eventually staged two weeks later, ending goalless after a full two hours, but we lost the second replay 3-0 at Kenilworth Road.

Ton up in the cup
1911 - Sam Bowyer's second goal was our hundredth in the FA Cup as we beat Gainsborough Trinity 3-2 in a First Round tie at Anfield. Arthur Goddard added our third.

Management moves
1998 - Kenny Dalglish was appointed Manager of Newcastle United. He led the Toon to thirteenth place in his one full season in charge, and was sacked just two unbeaten games into the following season.
2004 - Roy Hodgson was sacked as Manager of United Arab Emirates, having been in charge since April 2002.
1969 - Former reds skipper Sir Matt Busby announced that he would resign as Manchester United boss at the end of the season, which he did in June of that year after leading our deadly rivals to the European Cup, five League titles, two FA Cups and three FA Charity Shields.

Five different competitions
We have played first-class fixtures in five different competitions on this day over the years.
1893 - Our first game came when we held West Manchester to a goalless draw in the Lancashire League.

We have also won three FA Cup games and one League Cup match on this day, and played eleven League matches, although we have only won four of these.
1986 - A brace from Ian Rush and a Mark Lawrenson goal handed us a 3-0 win at Tottenham Hotspur in the Screen Sport Super Cup. Kevin MacDonald broke his arm in a collision with Spurs' Steve Perryman. However, he was back in action inside six weeks. Veteran keeper Pat Jennings played his final game for Spurs.

Alan's last
1961 - Alan Arnell played his 75th and final reds game as we lost 3-1 at Brighton & Hove Albion in a Second Division encounter, with Alan A'Court grabbing our consolation.

Smiling again
1922 - Forward Harry ‘Smiler' Chambers struck his fiftieth reds goal as we beat Bradford City 2-1 at Anfield on our way to our third League title. Dick Forshaw added our second.
1928 - Chambers bagged his 151st and final reds strike, the only goal of our FA Cup Third Round meeting with Third Division North side Darlington at Anfield.

Rushie in red again
2003 - Ian Rush stepped out in Liverpool training gear for the first time in eight years, having been appointed as a part-time specialist striking coach. He said, "I will get as much satisfaction watching these lads score as I did when I was scoring myself." However, he did not get the opportunity to do so for very long.

Old gold disappointment
We have twice played Wolverhampton Wanderers on this day in history, without winning.
1984 - Wolves won 1-0 despite being bottom of the table, thanks to an early Carl Mardenborough header, his only ever goal for the club, to secure victory at Anfield for the first time in 33 years.
1899 - We held them to a goalless draw at Molineux.

Beaten by the Trotters
We have twice faced Bolton Wanderers at Burnden Park on this day in history, losing on each occasion.
1931 - We went down 2-0.
1950 - Billy Liddell and Willie Fagan struck within a minute of each other as we were beaten 3-2.

On the move
2004 - David James joined Manchester City from West Ham United for £2m. He kept goal for them on a century of occasions before joining Portsmouth in August 2006.
2010 - Defender Jon Otsemobor joined Southampton on a free transfer from Norwich City, after two goals in 104 games for the Canaries.

Foy on target
2002 - Robbie Foy struck for Scotland Under-17's as they won a friendly 2-0 in Malta.
