Two cups on the same day
1982 - We claimed two trophies - the old Football League Cup and the new Milk Cup trophy. Tottenham Hotspur went ahead at Wembley early on through Steve Archibald, but Ronnie Whelan grabbed a late equaliser past ex-red Ray Clemence, before netting a second in extra time. Ian Rush added a third, as Spurs suffered their first defeat at Wembley, and their first loss in nine domestic cup finals. Skipper Graeme Souness lifted the old three-handled trophy, while former captain Phil Thompson held the new Milk Cup aloft.

On our way to Wembley
1988 - An FA Cup game brought us our best ever result on this day, as we won 4-0 at Manchester City in the Sixth Round in front of the live TV cameras, on our way to the Final. Ray Houghton, Craig Johnston and John Barnes all netted, to add to a Peter Beardsley penalty, with Johnston's strike being our 500th in the competition. This was our seventh consecutive away victory, and the tenth time we had bagged four in a game that season.
1915 - We also beat City when Fred Pagnam, Arthur Metcalf and Tom Miller struck in a 3-2 First Division win at Anfield.

Milan in Barcelona
2002 - Milan Baroš made his reds debut as a substitute in our goalless Champions League draw with Barcelona in the Camp Nou. This result left us needing to beat Roma by two clear goals at Anfield to be sure of a place in the Quarter-finals. Nick Barmby came on as a late replacement for Steven Gerrard, his 58th and final reds appearance, although he sat on the bench on a further five occasions that season.

Emile in front of his old boss
2003 - Emile Heskey drew us level at Martin O'Neill's Celtic after Henrik Larsson had put the Hoops into an early lead. This UEFA Cup Quarter-final first leg tie ended 1-1, but was marred by El-Hadji Diouf spitting into the crowd. Unfortunately, the Scottish side won the Anfield return 2-0.

Mixed derby outcomes
1979 - Andy King scored one of only four opposition goals in the League at Anfield that season, as we were held in this derby encounter. Kenny Dalglish bagged our goal on his hundredth reds appearance as well as suffering an injury, along with Phil Thompson and David Johnson.

1994 - Ian Rush and Robbie Fowler struck in our 2-1 win to secure Roy Evans' only victory over Everton as boss. Fowler's goal was the last derby strike in front of the old standing Kop.
1988 - We took part in a testimonial match for the Blues' legendary centre-half Brian Labone. John Toshack netted as Everton won 2-1 at Goodison Park.

Red one-offs
1909 - Messina Allman made his only reds appearance as we lost 2-1 to Bristol City at Anfield in a top-flight encounter. Tom Chorlton nabbed our goal from the spot, his eighth and final reds goal.
1920 - Keeper Tom Armstrong played his only reds game as we drew 2-2 with The Wednesday at Hillsborough in another First Division fixture. Dick Forshaw and Donald Mackinlay struck within the last ten minutes.

Off the mark
1929 - Centre-half David Davidson bagged the first of his two reds goals as we beat West Ham United 2-1 at Anfield, after John Lindsay had struck.

Making an exhibition of themselves
2007 - Jamie Carragher, Steven Gerrard, Robbie Fowler and Bolo Zenden all played for a Europe XI who lost 4-3 to Manchester United at Old Trafford, in a game played to celebrate the fiftieth anniversaries of the Treaty of Rome and Manchester United in European competition. Ex-red El-Hadji Diouf bagged a brace, including a penalty.

Nice one Cyril
1943 - Cyril Done scored a hat-trick as we thumped Bury 7-2 at Gigg Lane in a game that counted for both the Wartime League and the War League Cup. Michael Hulligan added a brace, with our other goals coming from Jack Pilling and a Griffiths own goal.

The Baron stops
1926 - Fred Baron bagged his seventh and final reds goal. Harry Chambers was also on target as we lost 3-2 at Sunderland in a top-flight encounter.

Disappointment at Bramall Lane
We have twice lost First Division fixtures at Sheffield United on this day in history.
1954 - Billy Liddell netted our consolation from the spot as we lost 3-1.
1965 - We went down 3-0.

Reds keepers in opposition
1920 - Two reds keepers faced each other in an international as Ken Campbell played for Scotland, who beat Ireland, for whom Elisha Scott was making his international debut. The game ended 3-0 at Celtic Park, with fellow red Billy Lacey also playing for the visitors.
1922 - England beat Wales 1-0 in an international at Anfield. Tom Bromilow played for the home side on his club ground.

Off on loan

2007 - Centre-back Godwin Antwi joined Accrington Stanley, for whom he made nine League Two outings.
2009 - Former reserves keeper Tony Warner joined Leicester City on loan from Hull City. He played four times for them as they progressed towards the League One title.

For the last time
1880 - Future reds centre-half Robert Neill skippered Scotland while winning his fifth and final cap, as they beat England 5-4 in a friendly at Hampden Park.
1937 - Forward James Collins played his seventh and final reds game as we were held to a 1-1 draw at Anfield by Preston North End. Harry Holdcroft saved a penalty from the reds' Tommy Cooper in the first half. Alf Hanson then converted a spot-kick after the break.

Vladi on target
1996 - Vladimír Šmicer netted for the Czech Republic Under-21's as they lost 2-1 to Spain in a European Championships qualifier in Granada.

Souey's debut
