An Anfield farewell 1996 - Ian Rush played his final reds game at Anfield, with Stan Collymore scoring the only goal of the game against Middlesbrough.

Heading to Istanbul 2005 - We held Chelsea to a goalless draw at Stamford Bridge in the first leg of our Champions League Semi-final.

Ian Rush made only his second ever reds appearance in this game as veteran winger Steve Heighway had failed a late fitness test.
