The reigning champions of Europe travelled to the Netherlands and played AZ Alkmaar on 21 October 1981. Alkmaar had won their first Eredivisie title earlier that year, a shocking achievement for a team formed only 14 years before. David Johnson put the Reds 1-0 ahead in the first half... 1/3

Xabi Alonso took Salif Diao's place at halftime as Liverpool were 2-0 down to Fulham at Craven Cottage on 16 October 2004.
