Goals

Notes

  • Tour: Tour of Czechoslovakia (1961)
  • Info: The match was only 80 minutes long, because the stadium was needed for the finish of a big cycle race and cameras needed to be placed on the pitch.
  • Slater, Molyneux, Byrne, Wheeler, White, Milne, Callaghan, St John, Hunt, Carlin (Melia 46), Morrissey.

    In reality Liverpool's opponent was a regional eleven, with many of its team coming from the Brno club Rudá Hvezda, which had reached the quarter-final stage of the European Cup Wiinners' cup in the 1960-61 season before being eliminated by Dinamo Zagreb.
