The build-up continues to the Derby games and as the excitement mounts we dare to dream of victorious days of years gone by. Some of the younger generation will not have tasted the sweetness of victory on our old stomping ground. All of us let our hearts and imaginations rule our heads but, the closer it gets to kick-off, the more the nerves become unbearable.
Just seven times in my lifetime have we beaten the old enemy on their turf and I have witnessed just 2. But someone, sometime has to join that small band of players who have scored for the blues in winning sides at Anfield. Who will be the lucky player(s) to join this elite list:
- Kevin Campbell
- Colin Harvey
- Andrei Kanchelskis
- Gary Lineker
- Johnny Morrissey
- Fred Pickering
- Kevin Ratcliffe
- Joe Royle
- Graeme Sharp
- Derek Temple
- Alan Whittle

You missed out Gary Stevens’ scuffed left foot shot that settled a league cup tie. I was at the beamback game at Goodison, so not technically there.
Sharpie had missed an open goal after intercepting a Barnes back pass and rounding Dropalot. We thought that was it, but then about 7 minutes from time, Shagger Stevens’ comes up with a daisy cutter that crept in.
Happy days. 1988 if memory serves me right - Harvey’s 2nd season as manager.

Well spotted Matt, I shouldn’t have omitted his name as that was one of the victories I actually went to!
what about Sheedy scoring at anield and giving the crowd a v sign!
Sheeds scored but the other lot scored three times thus Sheeds finished on the losing team, unlike those in the list.

I seem to remember Andy King scoring a cracker but it may have been at GP. Andy always seemed to do well against them.

Jay,
That game was at Goodison. You’ll remember the classic moment where the commentator is trying to interview Andy King, and the somewhat over-officious copper shoves them onto the track, "Off the pitch...!"

Tony Hibbert to score the match winning goal with a miscued cross!!! You asked us to dare to dream Anthony.
Steve P and Anthony D, In my dream, Hibbert's goal from a miscued cross was our third in a five nil thrashing of the RS.
Stevie La? was a guest of her majesty and Caragher was sent off in the opening minute. No half measures when I dream, eh lads.

Actually, if I dare to dream, I will see Hibbert on the bench, Neville back to his preferred position and Castillo score a match winning cracker from outside the box.
For the really older generation you can add the following to that list:
Tommy Lawton (scored 2 in a 3:0 win the in the 1938/39 Championship winning season)
Dixie Dean (scored 2 in a 3:0 win in 1929 followed by a hat-trick in a 3:1 win two years later)
Joe Clennell (scored 2 in our record 5:0 win in October 1914 - on the way to another championship before a World War)
Bobby Parker (scored the other 3 in the same match as Joe Clennell as well as both goals in a 2:1 win the season before)

Yes, the Andy King goal was at Goodison.
I remember the joke which went round our playground for days afterwards:
EFC kid: "Scuse me mate, do you know where Kings Drive is?"
LFC kid: "No mate, I don?t"
EFC kid: "It?s in the back of the Liverpool net, that?s where it is!!!"
Oh what joy.......

Steve Mink - I was only telling that joke the other day. Lovely stuff.
I remember him scoring again the following season in a 2-2 draw at Anfield. Brian Kidd got the other. We went 1-0 down, thanks to Mick Lyons’ glorious lob over George Wood from the edge of the box.

Matt/Jay: 28th October 1978. My pal (a Red) was getting married that day in Tuebrook, full nuptials et al. His brother-in-law (a Blue) took a radio to church in a plastic bag, an earphone trailing from it so he could tune in unnoticed. Ten minutes into the service he let's out quite a loud groan and the Priest stops the service momentarily. "Are you OK there?" asks the Priest, all concerned. "Yes Father" comes the reply, "Latchford?s just hit the post!". Laughter breaks out, Father Bunloaf totally bemused!! A great day and I?ve got a pic of my mate getting in to the car with his new bride; King?s just scored and he?s got a face like a wet Echo!
