EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph from The Northcliffe Collection, Liverpool Football Club legend Phil Thompson proudly holds aloft the European Cup, celebrating the team's historic victory in the 1981 tournament. Thompson, a key member of the "Liverpool Bootroom" coaching team under Bob Paisley, was an integral part of the Reds' dominance in European football during the late 1970s and 1980s. The scene captures the raw emotion and excitement of the moment as Thompson lifts the coveted trophy above his head, surrounded by jubilant teammates and ecstatic fans. The European Cup final against Real Madrid at Paris Saint-Germain's Parc des Princes stadium on May 27, 1981, was a tense and dramatic affair, with Liverpool securing a 1-0 victory through Alan Kennedy's last-minute goal. This iconic image, taken moments after the final whistle, encapsulates the passion, determination, and team spirit that defined Liverpool Football Club during one of the most successful periods in its storied history. The European Cup triumph in 1981 was Liverpool's third European title in five years, further solidifying their status as European giants and setting the stage for future successes. As we gaze upon this nostalgic photograph, we are transported back to a time when football was a simpler game, played with heart and soul, and when Liverpool Football Club ruled the European stage. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the past, as well as a testament to the enduring legacy of Phil Thompson and Liverpool Football Club in European football history.
