EVERTON 0 LIVERPOOL 5 "The Retro Series Vol.1"
Dedicated to my dear old Mum, a Manchester United fan!
This is the first of my "retro" series of articles written on Liverpool games from the early 1970's through to the mid 1980's and as well as my longest effort to date, also a deeply personal affair.
Originally penned and published to my Medium blog site on 12th January 2022, here's the original article in full:

Here follows a link to my third self-published book and first on the Mighty Reds of Liverpool and a book I'm incredibly proud of, together with other ways and means of supporting me, if you are able, to thumb the eye of traditional publishers who refused to read my original manuscript!

And here's an extract from the beginning of this article being read here:
"Growing up as I did in the late 1970’s and primarily, and cognitively, in the early 1980’s, I collected every imaginable VHS cassette I could lay my eager hands on concerning Liverpool Football Club. It was the usual array of “Greatest Hits” collections of season reviews, a history of the club, their European Cup successes or individual television “specials” that were then sold as early collectable editions on cassette tape. Almost without exception, all contained the 5 goals from this storied game but nothing more. Just simply the goals. 5 magnificent goals against 0 conceded. At Goodison Park, the home of their city rivals Everton and just a short stroll through a park called “Stanley” from Anfield, the home of Liverpool. Less than a mile separates the Blues of Everton from the Reds of Liverpool and the rivalry has swung wildly over the years from the “Friendly Derby” to a much more venomous and bitterly angry tussle as the chasm between the Blues and the Reds of the same city of Liverpool grew and grew and grew.
Here in 1982 the roles the teams had previously enjoyed in the late 1960’s and early 1970’s had been completely reversed. Whereas in the 60’s Everton were dubbed the “Mersey Millionaires” and won the English 1st Division Championship in 1963 and 1970 and in between these coveted titles famously won the FA Cup in 1966, the Reds of Liverpool were rebuilding again under their legendary Manager Bill Shankly. In this same time frame the Reds won the 1st Division twice in the 1960’s before winning the game’s top English honour a phenomenal five times in the 1970’s as well as a litany of other trophies and the very biggest Europe could offer too with four European triumphs in the 1970’s alone".
