Notes

  • - Phil Thompson scores his first LFC goal
  • - Thompson remembers the goal: "It fell to me about 30 yards out. I'm not a good golfer, but I know that feeling when you catch the ball perfectly. It flew from my boot and went into the top left-hand corner. I remember Kevin Keegan rushing up to me saying "How did you kick it that far?"
