CHANCECHANCEThis section’s really thr-eesy! All you have to do is identify thehat-trick heroes, from the Liverpool Echo reports as theyappeared at the time. There are plenty of clues in the reports,but the goalscorer’s name has been asterisked out...
1HAD not ********* missed apenalty, Ian Rush twice hit a postand several players missed fromless than 10 yards, the final scorewould have soared past the club
record haul of 11 by which they thrashedthe Norwegians of Stromsgodset in theCup Winners Cup of 1974.
The undoubted star of the night was********* who atoned for his penalty missby grabbing four excellent goals, three ofthem in the space of 10 minutes midwaythrough the second half.
That was surely a record for a Liverpoolmidfielder, to set alongside Fulham’srecord defeat in any event, Liverpool’shighest score in a domestic fixture andthe highest recorded in theLeague/Milk/Littlewoods Cupcompetition.
2A MAGNIFICENT hat-trick by********* highlighted a classLiverpool performance againstoutplayed Bolton Wanderers atAnfield this afternoon.
Liverpool had been so dominant,moving the ball around with accuratefirst-time passes that bewildered Boltonat times, that a goal wasalways on. It came after 14minutes with a first of theseason for *********.
It came at the end of anintricate passing build upwith ********* hitting theball with all his power from20 yards. The ball deflectedslightly off Burke and gaveMcDonough no chance as itsailed into the top of thenet.
Again it was a powerfulshot from ********* as hedrove the ball low and thepace off the turf deceivedMcDonough as the ballskidded under his body intothe net.
********* had been sopowerful and positive ineverything he had done thathe deserved his hat-trickgoal after 55 minutes. Thiswas a close range effort andthe major credit went toSouness, who brought theball through after Boltondefenders had mademistake after mistake in theface of intense pressure.This was *********’s firstLeague hat-trick but he hashad one in Europe.
3WITH a 3-0advantage surelynothing can stopLiverpool coastingthrough to the
semi-finals of this trophyagainst the Germans in the second leg in afortnight’s time.
Liverpool’s ultimate weapon was*********, that blond bombshell who,when he was signed three years agofrom Wolves, was soccer’s costliestteenager.
Last night he more than justified thepotential that was seen in him and thefaith put in him by manager Bill Shankly.For almost single-handedly he destroyedBayern with all three Liverpool goals –and that on his first senior outing forfour months after a cartilage operation.
Ironically it was in the second leg ofLiverpool’s tie with Dinamo in Bucharestthat ********* was hurt. He certainlytook revenge on Europe last night.”
4A FOUR goal blast from *********earned him another place inLiverpool’s record books last night– and booked his team a safepassage into the second round of
the European Cup Winners’ Cup.The Welsh marksman, who became his
country’s joint top scorer a week ago,took his Reds’ continental tally to 19,beating the previous best set by RogerHunt.
Paul Stewart’s double had givenGraeme Souness’ men a healthy leadbefore ********* ended more than 500minutes of personal frustration without agoal in a Liverpool shirt since the CharityShield.”
5MORRISSEY took up Leishman’sthrough pass and shot fiercely andaccurately that *********, standingright in front of goal, only had tosidefoot the ball solidly into the
net.. . . A’Court, striding on to the ball to
make a big shot, found the ball deflectedwide of the target but Liverpool were fullof life and ********* made it 3-0 with aheader from a Morrissey centre at 34minutes.
********* crowned the day with the bestgoal of them all, an angled header from aball coming through like a bullet from ashot by Leishman. Georgen made anunavailing but brave attempt to save and
actually touched the ball. The goal came assurprisingly as Stubbins’ in that famouscup-tie. *********’s goal came at 81minutes.
6SUBSTITUTE Ian Rush fired thegoal which set an FA Cup recordtoday as Liverpool – helped by*********’s hat-trick – eased theirway into the fourth round.
The Reds had required Fowler’s 21stminute goal to settle their early nervesagainst a Rochdale side showing no signs ofbeing intimidated by the surroundings.
*********’s subsequent double broughtLiverpool a comfortable interval lead, andafterwards it was all plain sailing withValentine putting through his own net,Rush setting that new Cup record and********* completing a hat-trick after beingset up by Fowler.”
7LIVERPUDLIANS like nothingbetter than to humbleManchester United, and thanks to*********’s hat-trick that’s exactlywhat they did.
“********* opener, a tap-in after LesSealey had prevented Denis Irwin from
putting through his own net,followed a sweeping counterattack involving John Barnes andSteve McMahon.
“The little Geordie increasedthe lead in the 31st minute,slotting the ball cooly past Sealeyafter McMahon’s crossfield passhad created the opening . . . .*********, looking offside, collectedHoughton’s pass to make thefurious Sealey pick the ball out ofhis net for the fourth frustratingtime.”
8NOT bad for a left wingerthat Mr *********, is he?Fate decreed that thiswasn’t to be the dayMichael Owen provided a
damning verdict of HowardWilkinson’s tactical cunning.Instead ********* gave Liverpooltheir wake up call to the newseason in emphatic style, provingin the process that on his day he isa destructive force.
********* was awesomeyesterday. Liverpool wereawesome yesterday. And althoughDerby County were awful, howencouraging it was to finally seeLiverpool produce a magnificent90-minute performance.
This was the game we’ve beenwaiting for by the Reds. Theperfect response to StamfordBridge. A welcome silencer to the‘told you so’ merchants who wererather too gleefully trying to writeoff Gerard Houllier
9LIVERPOOL are breathing downManchester United’s necks in theBarclays Premier League title raceafter a ********* hat-trick helpedto destroy fifth-placed Aston Villa.
It was the third stunning victory in 12days for the Reds, having previously put fourpast Real Madrid and Manchester United.
********* scored three goals with afree-kick and two penalties, with the latterone following the dismissal of goalkeeperBrad Friedel for bringing down Reds strikerFernando Torres.
In the first-half Dirk Kuyt and AlbertRiera had scored, before ********* tookover with his set-piece onslaught.”

1. Brian Hall. SteveHeighway and Brian Hallwere that footballingrarity – graduates.Bamber Gascoigne washost of the popular TVquiz show UniversityChallenge, and Heighwaywas taller than Hall. Heypresto! Big Bamber andLittle Bamber.
2. Kevin Keegan.Because of an allegedresemblance to a TVcartoon super hero ofthe day.
3. Tommy Lawrence.He claims he has no idea,but Tommy was neverwhat you’d consider slim,and used to fling himselfaround penalty areas.
4. Ronnie Whelan.Apparently his Irishaccent meant the word‘Just’ always came out as‘Dust’ – hence an instantnickname.
5. David Burrows. Theobvious abbreviation foranybody called Burrowswhile Bugs Bunny waspopular.
6. Robbie Fowler. Histeam-mates thought hewas that good he coulddo anything.
7. John Scales. Suave,urbane and sophisticated,but certainly not licensedto thrill!
8. Jason McAteer.After the loveable butnone-too-clevercharacter from OnlyFools and Horses, JasonMcAteer made a careerout of saying stupidthings. Famously he onceasked for a pizza to becut into four slices, noteight, because he wasn'tthat hungry.
9. John Barnes. Afterthe Dallas character ofthe time, Digger Barnes.He also briefly labouredunder the nickname‘Tarmac’ – because ‘hewas the black Heighway.’
10. Tommy Smith. Hecame from Anfield andwas made fromtempered steel!
11. SteveMcManaman. Analleged resemblance tothe Scooby Doocharacter. (Not StanLaurel?)
12. Glen Johnson. Notfrom his likeness topopular rapper SnoopDogg, but rather Felicia“Snoop” Pearson, theindecipherable gangsterfrom The Wire.
