grizzlyg Posted November 3, 2020 Report Share Posted November 3, 2020 Evening folks,  don't worry it's not a corny joke. Just to see how many like me were this time 34 years ago tonight at Fir Park watching the mighty Well draw 1-1 with Liverpool in centenary game in front of 11,000 fans and king Kenny playing.....ahhhhhh magic.  As a 14 yr old seeing my well heroes and my Scotland hero was a night to remember..COYW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelman1991 Posted November 3, 2020 Report Share Posted November 3, 2020 I was and it was magical. Never thought I would see Liverpool play at Fir Park and for it to include so many household names was a dream come true. Dalglish, Rush, Grobbellar and co were spellbinding. Great night and we even managed a draw, though my memories were that we were pumelled for most of the game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
numpty Posted November 3, 2020 Report Share Posted November 3, 2020 I was there, though I wasn't that fussed about seeing Kenny D, had seen him often enough before. Great night though, not many teams got away without a loss against Liverpool in those days, even in friendlies. Some brief highlights from the 'fishel Twitter, for anyone who missed the full replay earlier in the year...  1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

underboyleheating Posted November 4, 2020 Report Share Posted November 4, 2020 My memory was that Liverpool barely got out of first gear. A great occasion though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joewarkfanclub Posted November 4, 2020 Report Share Posted November 4, 2020 Was definitely an exhibition game for them. Not wishing to embarass us in any way. Was still a great night under the lights on the old terracing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GazzyB Posted November 4, 2020 Report Share Posted November 4, 2020 Is that Rab C Nesbitt on commentary? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy_P Posted November 4, 2020 Report Share Posted November 4, 2020 I was at the Liverpool game but my only recollection from it was where I stood with Dad. I can't remember much of the game itself. There was a book launched to mark the centenary though and an autograph signing session at Motherwell Library, which also included some various artefacts from the club's history on display. I remember more getting the booked signed and it being hastily whisked away for a Christmas present than the actual centenary match itself.

Kmcalpin Posted November 4, 2020 Report Share Posted November 4, 2020 I was at the game with my late father but the centenary was of more importance to us than the opposition was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weeyin Posted November 4, 2020 Report Share Posted November 4, 2020 My two abiding memories are that it was was fun to watch a top quality Liverpool side (who won the league that season) and it was a lot less traumatic than the Joe Wark testimonial match against West Brom.

Welldaft Mk1 Posted November 4, 2020 Report Share Posted November 4, 2020 I went along with one of my best friends at the time. He was a very decent footballer but lazy as fuck. Had trials with Falkirk and Stirling Albion. He could have had a contract with either but he was not at all bothered. My abiding memory of the game was his number plate being called out during the game as he was blocking a driveway or something similar.  Of course I let him trudge off to move his car...

Laurie Cunningham ended up playing for Real Madrid when no one from the UK went there. He was some player. Robson and Batson went to Man Utd. Regis was some striker as well. Incredible team.

gaz7 Posted November 7, 2020 Report Share Posted November 7, 2020 I was 14 as well and there with my football team mates watching from enclosure. My memory is of what looked like a fat guy in midfield running game from basically not going out centre circle and myself being amazed how good he was as a budding midfielder myself. Was only one jan molby. What a player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
