Listen "Liverpool 5 Nottingham Forest 0, April 1988"
Episode Synopsis
The legendary Tom Finney said it was one of the finest team performances he had ever witnessed, this extraordinary league match saw Kenny Dalglish's revamped Reds run riot at Anfield. This was the season after Ian Rush had joined Juventus and in came John Aldridge, John Barnes and Peter Beardsley. There were some fine performances from lesser lights like Nigel Spackman, Gary Gillespie and a rampant Ray Houghton. Nottingham Forest were no mugs, they were one of just two teams to beat Liverpool in the league that season, but not on this night. Three season ticket holders discuss the match, for Lee Birkett it was a right of passage - his first game without his Dad, for John Green it was his 25th season as a Kopite and as for the host Mark Kerr, he had to wait to watch it on Match Of The Day.
