I wasn't even born in the 80's and am too young to remember Barnes, Beardsley etc.

My hero was Owen growing up. Loved the bloke and I actually remember crying when he left for Madrid. Some forget just how good he was on his day. Injuries, poor punditry and his move to United has put a huge downer on his career in my eyes.

Also had a Michael Owen lunchbox

a shrivelled up sausage due to steroid use is not a cool look for a lunch box

It's never done me any harm

Lmao i was the same, he was my favourite player by far, had photos of him up on the wall, remember ripping them down and throwing them away

Fowler/Mcmanaman were my favourites as a kid.

but i was born '86, Our current team are probably the best ive seen

Barnes, Beardo, McMahon, Nicol, Hansen when I was a kid

Spice boys when I had curtains, wore brightly coloured Ralph Loren shirts and slip ons with tassles.

Curtains seem to be very much back in fashion.

Tramlines?

87 was an amazing team as well.

Barnes to Beardsley, back to Barnes - Aldridge GOAL

One of Souness worst mistakes was getting rid of Beardsley.

Still feel robbed over the FA Cup final in `88 with Beardsley's goal

I think the 84 season was the first i was generally aware of what was going on. i don;t recall seeing much football other than the euro final and fa cup finals. I remember seeing these weird teams playing in the league cup final and didn't really understand it (Oxford and norwich, I'm looking at you!).

I think the first season i was actually aware of the league campaign was 85/86. That season was really the season that planted the real seed. Sure, football had always been great to watch and play and I always had an LFC shirt on me, but seeing Liverpool that year and also Northern Ireland getting to the 86 world cup, and everything that ensued in that tournament was a game changer.

Mexico 86 just seemed to be the greatest spectacle I had ever come across.
