Answers — round 1
  1. Bill Shankly — Shankly reasoned 'red for danger, red for power' — before him Liverpool paired red shirts with white shorts. They debuted the all-red look against Anderlecht.
  2. Steven Gerrard — The captain's header in the 54th minute lit the fuse; Smicer and Alonso then completed the three-goals-in-six-minutes blitz to level it at 3-3.
  3. Ian Rush — This Welsh striker plundered 346 goals between 1980 and 1996, with a brief detour to Juventus in between. Roger Hunt's 285 was the record he overtook.
  4. Ian Callaghan — A 1966 World Cup squad member with England, he served the club from 1960 to 1978 — a club-record total that still tops Carragher and Gerrard and is unlikely to be beaten in the modern era.
  5. Arne Slot — The Dutchman succeeded Klopp and sealed the title with four games to spare, a 5-1 thumping of Tottenham at Anfield.
  6. 47 — 29 goals plus 18 assists made 47 — beating the 44 previously shared by Thierry Henry and Erling Haaland. He swept Player of the Season, Golden Boot AND Playmaker awards.
  7. 'Welcome to Anfield' — A groundsman pitched the friendlier 'Welcome to Anfield' — Shankly changed it to the curt, menacing 'This Is Anfield' to put fear into visiting teams.
  8. Rome — Bob Paisley's side beat Borussia Monchengladbach 3-1 at the Stadio Olimpico, in the Italian capital. Liverpool would return to the same stadium in 1984 to win again on penalties — but Rome 1977 was the start.
  9. Kevin Keegan — His predecessor left for Hamburg after winning the European Cup; Dalglish inherited both the shirt and the role, scoring 172 goals over 13 years.
  10. Georginio Wijnaldum — He came on at half-time for the injured Robertson and struck twice in three minutes to level the tie. Origi scored the other two — including that quick corner from Trent.

Round 2

  2. Which Liverpool manager won THREE European Cups (1977, 1978, 1981), the most by any Liverpool boss?

  5. How did Kenny Dalglish settle the 1978 European Cup final against Club Brugge at Wembley?

  7. Liverpool fans who stand (and now sit) at the famous end of Anfield are nicknamed what?
  8. In the 2005 final, AC Milan's captain scored the fastest-ever goal in a Champions League final — inside the first minute against Liverpool. Who was he?
  9. Steven Gerrard delivered an iconic FA Cup final performance in 2006, with a last-gasp equaliser forcing penalties. Which club did Liverpool beat in that 'Gerrard Final'?

  1. Divock Origi — Salah opened with a 2nd-minute penalty; the Belgian super-sub then sealed a 2-0 win and Liverpool's sixth European crown late on.
  2. Bob Paisley — The quiet successor to Shankly was the first manager in history to win three European Cups, sealing the 1981 win over Real Madrid via Alan Kennedy's late goal.
  3. Gerry and the Pacemakers — The song originates from the Rodgers and Hammerstein musical Carousel, but it was this Merseybeat group's chart-topping version that the Kop adopted in the early 1960s.
  4. Roger Hunt — He was Liverpool's record scorer (285 goals) before Ian Rush; clubmates Callaghan and Gerry Byrne also made the squad, but he was the only forward to start every match.
  5. A delicate chip over the keeper — His cool dink — captured in one of the club's most famous photos as he leaps in celebration — gave Liverpool back-to-back European Cups in Bob Paisley's era.
  6. Leeds United — Under Shankly, goals from Roger Hunt and Ian St John finally brought the trophy to Anfield for the first time in the club's history.
  7. Kopites — The name comes from the steep terrace originally named after Spion Kop, a hill from the Boer War where many local soldiers died.
  8. Paolo Maldini — The veteran defender volleyed home after barely 50 seconds; Hernan Crespo then added two more before the famous half-time turnaround.
  9. West Ham United — His thunderbolt in stoppage time made it 3-3 at the Millennium Stadium; Liverpool then won on penalties in a match widely renamed after the captain.
  10. Virgil van Dijk — The Dutch centre-back arrived from Southampton; his calm leadership was the spine of Klopp's Champions League and title-winning sides.
