      Best game you have ever been to and why?
      Oct 30, 2009 09:29:41 am
      I've been lucky to enough to experience some great football games at Anfield, away from Anfield, and at Cardiff. So thought this would be a good chance to bring up some happy memories. Be great to hear from the older members of the forum.

      One of the best games I've ever been to, was at home to Man United. Think the year was 96 (It was the year Newcastle were fighting for the league)

      United & Newcastle were neck and neck in the league and it was towards the end of the season - Utd had to come to Anfield.

      They were 2-0 up and holding on and after exteme Liverpool pressure, we came back and drew 2-2.

      The place erupted, many many fans stayed behind after the game and sang 'always look on the bright side of life' - The mancs were fumin.

      So there you go Newcastle go and win the league...

      But they didn't  :f_wah:

      Manchester United 0 - 1 Liverpool

      My first ever game, Danny Murphy free kick was the winner.

      Liverpool 6 - 1 Hull City

      More reasons than meets the eye, I loved every second of that match.

      Liverpool 4 - 0 Stoke City

      Simply because I had amazing seats - I'm not sure if I'll have ever have seats as good as that again!

      The last game I took my Dad to before he died was against Utd when we went 3-0 down at Anfield and came back to 3-3 It must have been 1996 I think.

      Well I wasn't lucky enough to go to Anfield when I was smaller so the only times I've been have been in this decade. Doesn't mean I haven't been to some special games though!

      Olympiakos was amazing as was the semi final against Chelsea. Words couldn't describe that atmosphere! The Cup Final in 2006 was boss too.

      In the league it would probably be the win over the Mancs last weekend. The place was rocking and it was a special day. Hadn't been to Anfield since the Villa win last season so it was great to be back! ;D

      Liverpool 5-0 Singapore pre-season friendly.

      Coming from Singapore, my chances to watch Liverpool play in real life have been really scarce, so when I heard the reds coming down to Singapore somewhere in April, I grabbed the opportunity and did my utmost to attend everything that was organised. Attended autograph sessions and training sessions as well, but the 5-0 win at the stadium was the most memorable one.

      When I'm older though, I'm planning to migrate (if possible, to study or something). If that ain't possible, then I'll make yearly trips to Anfield for a week or so to catch the games. Nothing like it being at Anfield, especially on a European night.

      I went to the 3-3 at home to charlton, wasn't that long ago either, think they had just been promoted
      although it was 2 points dropped, it was a really exciting game.

      I was lucky enough to go to goodison as well when Gary Mac scored that peach of a free kick that caught Paul Gerrard out.

      My first match was special. Was home to Fulham, think it was a League cup game and Fowler made his debut or he had just broke into the team can't remember ( I was about 5), and we won 5-0 and Fowler scored all 5 i think. Was brilliant !

      I have a question, not being racist or un PC but why do so many foreigners support english clubs? PL may be the top division but even when the Italian league or whatever was, id never dream of supporting a team outside my country, I live 40 miles away from Liverpool and sometimes get asked why them, but some fans come from 4000 miles away just seems all a bit silly to me

      I am still In the line of Liverpool don’t have home games, it’s a game at home because 98% of the time tourists dictate dreadful atomsphere

      If you thought that game was boss, you should of seen the way Anfield erupted when we stopped them winning the league in 92 thanks to Rushie and Mark Walters, this was the game when Always Look On The Brightside Of Life first kicked off and the at the time famous You Lost the League On Merseyside.

      But for me there will only be ONE best game:

      Istanbul 25/05/05

      No other explanation needed!

      No m8, I think it was 1994??  I was there myself in the kop. What a game that was!!!.  Nigel Clough twice, and Razor Ruddock 5 mins from the end 3 - 3 against the scum.

      1993, was in the kop as well. The flares that night were F***ing boss. Pissed all over United's support that night, so much so that even the Manchester Evening News included a pic of the kop on its front page, whereas the echo ran a shithouse story trying to catch the lads who had flares.

      Can't believe no-one has said the two 4-3's against Newcastle.

      Had everything them games, more so the first one, especially sitting in the Paddock right next to the Newcastle fans.
      Boss atmospheres, mad celebrations and a mutual appreciation in the days when both sets of supporters used to actually get on!

      i too couldnt imagine supporting a fotball club outside of my own country, or out of my local town or city for that matter. Although its easier for me to say that because i am British and from Liverpool so i have this mighty club on my doorstep.

      I do welcme foreign support, the more the merrier, but the annoying thing for me is the way Liverpool Football Club priortize tickets. I think it should be sorted out on how close you live to Anfield. I don't think its fair when I, or any other local supporter, who have been going the game all our/their lives, can't get a ticket to a match and then you see a foreign fan inside the ground who can barely speak a word of English.

      Maybe thats a little harsh/bit selfish? I'm not sure?
