Titi’s tears
1999 - Titi Camara scored the only goal of the game at home to West Ham United, and then broke down in tears as he celebrated. He later revealed that his father had died earlier that day, “That goal was for my dad. It contributed to an extremely emotional day in my life. I did not want to let my team-mates down, which is why I insisted on playing. With Michael Owen and Robbie Fowler both injured, they needed me.”

Happy birthday Phil
1942 - Phil Chisnall was born in Manchester. He signed from Manchester United for £25,000 in April 1964, after ten goals in 47 United games. However, he never established himself at Anfield, netting twice in nine appearances, leaving for Southend United in August 1967.
1899 – William Cunningham was born in Radcliffe in Lancashire. He signed from Blyth Spartans for £50 in May 1920, but played just three times before joining Barrow in January 1924.

Debutants galore
1962 - Goalkeeper Tommy ‘The Flying Pig’ Lawrence and inside-left Gordon Wallace both made their reds debuts in our 1-0 defeat at West Bromwich Albion, with Jimmy Melia having a penalty saved.
1951 - We were also beaten by the Baggies in a First Division match when Jimmy Payne added to a Billy Liddell penalty as we lost 5-2 at Anfield. Frank Griffin bagged the first two of his six goals past us, with Ronnie Allen scoring the first of his five strikes against the reds, with Reg Ryan and George Lee also on the scoresheet.

1998 - Sean Dundee made his first-class reds bow as a substitute in our 3-1 League Cup Third Round win at home to Fulham, with Robbie Fowler netting a penalty and Paul Ince on the scoresheet, to add to a Simon Morgan own goal. Paul Peschisolido scored for the Cottagers.
1894 - Centre-forward Hugh Henderson made his red bow as we were thumped 5-0 by Aston Villa on our first visit to their old Perry Barr ground. Jack Reynolds bagged a brace, including one from the spot, with Jimmy Cowan netting the first of his four goals past us and Denny Hodgetts and Billy Dorrell also scoring.

1934 - Defender Fred Rogers debuted in our 2-2 top-flight draw at Preston North End, with Gordon Hodgson and Vic Wright netting. Bud Maxwell bagged the first of his seven strikes past us, with George Bargh also on target.
1900 - We also faced the Lilywhites, beating them 3-2 at Anfield thanks to Andy McGuigan’s first reds strike and goals from Jack Cox and Sam Raybould. Alex Raisbeck put through his own net, with Jackie Pierce also scoring for the visitors.

Trebles galore
1993 - Ian Rush netted a hat-trick as we beat Ipswich Town 3-2 in a League Cup Third Round tie at Anfield, his last ever home treble.
1928 - Forward Bill Salisbury made his reds bow as Gordon Hodgson scored a thirteen-minute first-half hat-trick as we drew 4-4 at Arsenal in a First Division meeting, with Dick Edmed netting the other. Hodgson’s first goal was actually his fiftieth for the club, with his third being his fiftieth in the League. Centre-half David Davidson put through his own net, with Len Thompson nabbing a brace and Jimmy Brain bagging one of his eight goals against the reds.

1906 - Bobby Robinson bagged a treble as we beat Manchester City by the odd goal in nine at Anfield. Sam Raybould and Willie McPherson scored our others. Irvine Thornley netted twice for the visitors, with Billy Jones and George Stewart also on target.

Clem’s century
1971 – Ray Clemence played his hundredth reds game as we lost 2-1 at West Ham United in a League Cup Fourth Round tie. Bobby Graham bagged our goal, with Geoff Hurst netting one of his nine strikes against the reds and Pop Robson scoring the first of his five goals past us.

Half a century for Bob
1976 - Bob Paisley secured his fiftieth League victory as reds boss as a John Toshack goal was enough to defeat Leicester City at Filbert Street. This was Bob’s 95th League game as Manager, five games more than it took Bill Shankly to achieve the same feat, although many of his wins came in the Second Division, and two games more than it took Rafael Benítez.
