Sweet Silver Song

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.

What is Sweet Silver Song?

Sweet Silver Song is a podcast that tells you the stories of Liverpool Football Club, one of the world’s greatest teams, six times European champions and followed by over 770 million people worldwide.

My name is Mark Kerr, a lifelong Liverpool supporter, who has been watching my team since 1965. I will be talking to people who know this club, who work there and have played for it. Week by week, we will fill you in on the amazing stories that make our club the worldwide institution it is today.

We will talk about Istanbul, that Barca match and Borussia Dortmund at Anfield. But we will also talk about losing 5-1 to Ajax in the fog, a 9-1 defeat at Birmingham City and being knocked out of the FA Cup by a non league team in 1959!

We will remember the great players, not just Salah, Gerrard and Virgil, but our great Scots like Kenny, Graeme Souness and Billy Liddell, Welsh wizards like Rush, and local lads like Jimmy Melia, Jimmy Case and Jimmy Payne.

There are millions of stories about our great club and we look forward to sharing some of them with you.
