"In 1967, we arrived at Anfield to play Liverpool and as I glanced out of the window of the coach I saw Bill Shankly standing at the main entrance. I was the first player to alight from the coach and when I reached the entrance Bill shook my hand warmly. 'Good to see you again, George,' he said. 'You're looking well, son.' This was unusual for him, and knowing Shanks to be a wily old fox, I decided to hang around to try to find out what he was up to. As each of the United players entered Anfield, Shanks shook his hand, welcomed him and told him how good he looked. Eventually, Bobby Charlton, a born worrier, came up to Shanks. 'Bobby, son. Good to see you,' Shanks said, shaking his hand. 'But by God, if ever there was a man who looked ill, it's you, Bobby!' Bobby's face went as colourless as an icicle. 'Ill? I look ill?' he repeated, running the fingers of his right hand over his forehead and down his right cheek. He was visibly shaken. 'Aye, Bobby, son. You look like you're sickening for something. If I were you I'd see a doctor as soon as you set foot back in Manchester.' Shanks patted Bobby on the back and took off down the corridor, leaving him trembling in the foyer.
In the dressing room, Bobby was conspicuous by his absence and, ominously, there was a delay in announcing the team. We sat around kicking our heels, no one daring to get changed in case Matt Busby had a tactical plan which meant leaving one of us out. The thought of getting changed only to be told to put your clothes back on because you're not in the team is a player's nightmare. Eventually Matt Busby entered the dressing room with Jimmy Murphy and told us they had reshuffled the team which had beaten West Ham the previous week. Bobby Charlton was unavailable. He'd suddenly been taken ill."
Liverpool FC and Merseyside Police have expanded efforts to tackle ticket touting after seizing more than £1.2 million in criminal assets linked to organised resale activity. According to Liverpool FC, the investigation also led to 432 lifetime bans and the blocking or cancellation of 67,663 suspected fake accounts during the 2025 and 2026 season.
You know the history: the boot room, the European nights, the thirty-year wait finally ended. What is worth dwelling on is something quieter running underneath all of it. In a game that has sold off almost everything, Liverpool has held on to its name, its ground and its shirt. That refusal is as much a part of the club as anything in the trophy cabinet, and it did not happen by accident. It is a choice made quietly and repeatedly, at moments when the easy thing would have been to cash in.
Victor Munoz begins his first Liverpool season with speed, direct running and a clear chance to change the left side of the attack. He joined from Osasuna on a long-term deal and became the first new signing of the Andoni Iraola era.
Anfield has really witnessed countless unforgettable moments, but few are as tense as a penalty taken in front of the Kop. From the calm authority of the 1980s to the pressure-filled moments of the modern game, a select group of players have embraced that responsibility and built lasting reputations from the penalty spot.
