Just a little piece to whet the appetite ...

The semi-final against Inter Milan was one of Anfield’s greatest-ever nights and Little Wooly‘s second match in Europe and what a night it was. Coming as it did just three days after Liverpool had won the F.A. cup for the first time in its long history. Gordon Milne, who missed the final through injury and Gerry Byrne, injured in the final itself, were sent out to parade the famous trophy before the game and the players took to the field in a cauldron of noise. The Italians seemed unnerved despite their experience and being used to playing in front of hostile crowds. But this was different. They had probably never played in front of a crowd that was so close to the pitch and seemed unprepared for the emotion that greeted the F.A. cup winners. Roger Hunt’s brilliant early volley and a superbly-worked free-kick finished off by Ian Callaghan unnerved them even more but in between those two superb goals an error by Ron Yeats had seen Mazzola strike an equaliser past Tommy Lawrence into the Kop goal. The Kop took up the challenge laid down by the Italians and started screaming at the top of their Lungs “Attack Attack, Attack Attack Atack” The noise was deafening, over 20,000 scousers in the Kop all screaming at once nearly burst me ear drums. Liverpool pushed forward with even more resolve, I’ve never seen so much effort put in on a pitch before, everyone found an extra gear, players and supporters alike. Then the Ghost Lawler had a goal disallowed, “NEVER” shouted me arl fellah, “BOLLOCKS ” shouted me Uncle Jerry, a word I’d not heard before, I must store that one away, I’m sure it’ll come in handy one day. Liverpool pushed on and on, roared on by the kop and then “Gooooaaaaaallll” Ian St. John restored the home side’s two-goal advantage a quarter of an hour from the end. But would it be enough?
The Italians left the ground with “Go back to Italy” ringing in their ears, if this was European football thought Wooly, I must make sure I never miss a game.
The only down side to the night was spending half the time getting pushed off my bar into the torrents of p!ss, that flowed steadily down the steps of the kop like mini waterfalls. I smelt ruddy awful, like a dosser off the Pier Head, but a wash would put that right when I got home, in a tin bath in front of the fire, in Liverpool 19.
