In 1990, 5 years after Heysel, English clubs were re-admitted to the European fold. Liverpool, however, had to wait another year before their own exile was ended. LFC fan Chris Wood leads us through Liverpool's European story.
Shoot! focuses Liverpool's Jungleman Bruce Grobbelaar in 1982.
Bob Paisley had the best insight in football. Here is his view on Bruce Grobbelaar.
"There was one incident I’ll never forget. We were warming up on the training field the morning after the Christmas party. Bruce Grobbelaar was leading the pack with Roy Evans behind him as we jogged round the pitch. Without warning Bruce breaks wind and as Roy was right behind him, he was the first to run into it. It was so bad Roy keeled over and actually started vomiting. All the other players then ran into it and keeled over or tried to escape the poisonous gas. It really was the most incredible sight I’ve ever seen on a training field."
Ronny Rosenthal
"I had come way out of goal to collect the back pass but Alan mis-hit it and I was stranded, hopelessly out of position. I got back as quick as I could and made a real kangaroo leap to reach the ball. It's something Craig Johnston taught me. If I'd tried to catch the ball I would have gone into the net with it."
Grobbelaar on his miracle save in the 1986 FA Cup final
"Brucie was a great goalkeeper and that save was out of this world."
Craig Johnston on Brucie's save from Sharp in the FA Cup final 1986
"He did a much better job than I did. He looked like a starfish with jelly legs to me but it worked."
Grobbelaar on Dudek's tactics in Istanbul
"The ball was running along the line and Bruce was shouting for me to let it run, but I was thinking, if I let it run, Trevor Steven’s going to get on it. Bruce timed his jump thinking I was going to do as he said, but in the meantime I’d put my foot on it and I had to shield it before he got back. He got a bit panicked about it all and once he’d got the ball, he called me something unrepeatable. I told him where to go and he hit me. I thought I’ve got to hit him back, then you realise the occasion, and of course, Bruce was a jungle fighter, so it was probably best to leave it."
Jim Beglin on his argument with Bruce Grobbelaar in the 1986 FA Cup final
"Bruce Grobbelaar had this unbelievable rat’s tail at one point in his life, I just don’t know what he was thinking!!! I don’t know about the best but Alan Hansen hair has never moved since he was born."
LFC fan asks Steve Nicol: Who had the worst hair in the Liverpool dressing room back in the 80’s?
