Notes:
- Full name team Knattspyrnufelag Reykjavнkur.
- Phil
Chismall scores his first goal for LFC.
- It took Liverpool just 180 seconds to score their first goal in European
competition, Wallace netting with a mishit shot from a Hunt pass. From that moment, the
Reds cantered to victory, although their superiority was not underlined until after the
interval. Then Wallace, offering reciprocal service to his fellow marksman, set up a Hunt
strike, and Chisnall hammered home after a Callaghan cross had been parried by the
'keeper. A Wallace header and a typically efficient piece of finishing by Hunt completed
the rout. Reykjavik appeared overawed by their visitors, offering nothing by way of
aggression or initiative, and Liverpool could not have been presented with an easier
opening.

"Liverpool
in European" - Chapter One
Liverpool, only two seasons after languishing in the Second Division for the best
part of a decade, were suddenly entrusted with carrying their country's banner into battle
against some of the finest sides in the world. The way they coped is, in its way, as
glorious as anything that was to follow.
To kick off their European odyssey, however, the Reds could hardly have been handed
a less demanding encounter. In the first round they were drawn against the amiable
amateurs of Reykjavik, the Icelandic champions. These hitherto unknown opponents proved to
be utterly naive in a footballing sense, refreshingly gracious and chivalrous in every
other way; indeed, they might have hailed from a different planet to the seasoned, cynical
opposition who lurked in the later stages of the competition.
Due to play the away leg first, Liverpool started out for Iceland on the Sunday
after drawing two apiece at Anfield with West Ham United in the FA Charity Shield. Their
strength was depleted by the unavailability of star Scottish centre-forward Ian St John,
who was recovering from appendicitis, and fellow marksman Alf Arrowsmith, who damaged a
knee so badly against the Hammers that he never regained a regular place. That injury to
the man whose goals played a major part in winning the 1964 League title, and therefore
qualifying for the European Cup, shed a sad sidelight on an otherwise happy trip. Alf, a
friendly, honest Mancunian who took his frequent joshing from Scouse team-mates in good
part, was to miss some of Liverpool's most rousing successes before seeing out nis career
with Bury and Rochdale, his destiny a poignant, cautionary reminder of sport's
uncertainty.
However, those fortunate enough to be Reykjavik-bound were in high spirits as they
arrived at the Ayrshire holiday camp where they were due to kill a few hours before the
flight. Immediately, the mood was lightened still further as Bill Shankly opened the door
at the front of the team bus, leaned out and rasped in characteristic tones: 'We're
Liverpool Football Club and we're on our way to Iceland.' The camp gateman responded, with
either piercing wit or supreme artlessness: 'Then I'm sorry, Sir, you're on the wrong
road!' It was one of the rare occasions that Bill didn't get to deliver the punchline.
Newly kitted out in club blazers, flannels and ties - as Ron Yeats recalls: 'We didn't
half look well' - they climbed aboard their plane at Prestwick and headed for the unknown.
None of them had much idea what to expect from Iceland, and after the pilot had caused
considerable excitement by announcing that he was skirting a live volcano -
disappointingly, there was no red-hot lava on display - noses were pressed to windows as
they neared their destination. Some were anticipating a land of igloos and Eskimos, but
what met their eyes could hardly have been more different. They were confronted by a
pleasant, everyday sort of city, clean of aspect, slow of pace, and with not a sledge or a
husky in sight. The air was invigorating and their hosts hospitable, apparently delighted
to be welcoming the great Liverpool FC, of whom they had heard so much.
Throughout the visit, the atmosphere was one of politeness and bonhomie, even
extending into the match. Reykjavik were ecstatic just to take part in the European Cup,
and they had no thoughts of progressing to the next round. It was enough, it seemed, just
to run on to the field with such illustrious opponents, and to fete them at every
available moment between their arrival and departure. The Reds won the game as they
pleased, two of their five goals being scored by Gordon Wallace, who was on duty in place
of St John. At that time he was on something of a roll, having netted twice in the Charity
Shield, and there were high hopes for his future. Indeed Shankly, never prone to
understatement, once described his callow countryman as the nearest thing he had seen to
Tom Finney since the war. Sadly, the nimble marksman was a victim of brittle bones and,
before long, was to slide out of the first-team reckoning.
In fact, Gordon was missing from the line-up for the return at Anfield, an occasion
which saw the Kopites in their most expansive humour. Revelling in the novelty of their
heroes' vast lead - they knocked in another six goals - the inimitable Scousers took to
cheering every Reykjavik move and booing the Reds, Willie Stevenson and Ron Yeats being
subjected to ironic chants of 'Off, Off, Off after committing the most innocuous of fouls.
' Keeper Guddjonsson and Felixson, scorer of the visitors' lone goal, were cheered to the
rafters, and it was entirely appropriate when the home team formed a guard of honour to
clap the Icelanders off at the end.
The match was significant, too, in that it marked the final Reds bow of former
England winger Alan A'Court, a stalwart servant in the club's frustrating Second Division
days but now supplanted by Peter Thompson. A goal for Alan would have crowned the night,
but it wasn't to be. |

The return encounter with the
sportsmanlike amateurs from Iceland proved to be one of Anfield's gentlest occasions. With
the tie already safe, Liverpool cruised into a two-goal lead, courtesy of Byrne's booming
35-yarder and a fierce drive from St John, before the visitors earned the biggest cheer of
the night with an adroitly dispatched goal by Felixson. The Reds' subsequent plunder,
taken with panache but at practice-match pace, merely underlined the yawning chasm in
class between the two sides. What a shame that popular, long-serving winger A'Court -
making what proved to be his final senior appearance - could not have capped the Kop's
night by scoring a goal. |

Notes:s.
- Anderlecht used kits, all white.
- Liverpool wear all red for the first time. According to Ian St John Shankly
"thought the colour scheme would carry psychological impact — red for danger, red
for power. He came into the dressing room one day and threw a pair of red shorts to Ronnie
Yeats. 'Get into those shorts and let’s see how you look,' he said. 'Christ, Ronnie, you
look awesome, terrifying. You look 7ft tall.' 'Why not go the whole hog, boss?' I
suggested. 'Why not wear red socks? Let’s go out all in red.' Shankly approved and an
iconic kit was born."
- Only socks on Liverpool players was white with red top.

Here began the first true test of
Liverpool's fitness to compete with the best in Europe, an examination from which Bill
Shankly's men emerged with reputations hugely enhanced. The much-vaunted Belgian skills
made negligible impact against the Reds' combination of vigour and finesse, and once St
John had tucked away the opening goal, pouncing after the 'keeper failed to hold a Hunt
shot, there was a gratifying inevitability about the rest of the proceedings. Hunt's
precise drive just inside a post after being freed by St John, and Yeats' forceful header
from a Stevenson free-kick - the skipper's first goal at Anfield - ensured that the final
score reflected the balance of play. |

Disputed
goal by Liverpool floors Aston Villa
Liverpool, with Smith dropping back at the very start to make an additional
defender, made nearly all the early running. Milne was continually setting his forwards on
the move but Villa covered well in defence and, except for two shots by St John and
Thompson, Withers was untroubled in the Villa goal.
After 15 minutes Liverpool went ahead with a hotly disputed goal. Hunt burst
through to round off the move started by Milne, but the linesman stood signalling offside.
The referee refused Villa's demands that he should consult the linesman and allowed the
goal amid protests from the 20,000 crowd.
It was not the only decision of the referee that annoyed the spectators and he was
subjected to bursts of slow handclapping.
Pountney was doing sterling work in the defence for Villa, but neither he nor
Parker playing in his second first-team game, were able to give much support to their
forwards. As a result Villa rarely looked dangerous and Lawrence had only one real shot to
save in the first half.
Towards the interval Villa did put on rarther more pressure but their moves were
very crude compared with the smooth-flowing attacks of the visitors.
Liverpool continued to provide the finess after the interval, but Villa showed more
purpose in their play.
Following one move started by Aitken, Lawrence had to dash out and grab the ball
off Hateley's toe.
Then Lawrence ran right to the edge of his area when Woosnam broke through. The
Villa man squaring the ball across the empty goal, but before Hateley could get a boot to
it Yeats hacked it clear.
Young Parker had settled down to a useful display and several times started Villa
attacks. When he got a chance himself, however, he blazed his shot well wide.
Liverpool broke away afater a spell of Villa pressure and Hunt burst through on
goal, and only a great save from Withers prevented him from increasing Liverpool's lead.

For the second successive European
match, the Reds turned in an immaculate defensive performance against a side containing a
bevy of explosive attackers. Muller and company were shackled resolutely by the likes of
Yeats and Smith, Lawrence made a succession of outstanding saves and every Liverpool
player beavered ceaselessly. Even so, the Germans came close to scoring on several
occasions, Thielen hitting a post after 22 minutes and a Lohr strike being disallowed for
offside shortly after half-time. For the visitors, Thompson was the most threatening
raider, and though an away goal rarely seemed likely, it was the Reds who wore smiles of
satisfaction come the final whistle.
Беззубый Кёльн
Перед первым четвертьфинальным матчем на
Кубок европейоких чемпионов с "Ливерпулем"
тренер "Кёльна" Кнопфле утверждал, что
английская команда его не страшит и
западногерманский клуб на своём поле "покажет
зубы".
В последнее время "Кёльн" упрекали в
отсутствии огонька в атаках, однако он по-прежнему
лидирует в чемпионате. На матч с "Ливерпулем"
в ряды "Кёльна" не смог вернуться после
болезни капитан и ветеран клуба Шеффер. Это ещё
более ослабило линию атаки команды, даже на своём
поле чемпион ФРГ не смог "показать зубы".
Первый поединок между ."Кёльном" и "Ливерпулем"
закончился вничью - 0 : 0. По мнению специалистов,
англичане уже на шестьдесят процентов
обеспечили себе выход в полуфинал, так как шансов
на победу у себя на поле у "Ливерпуля"
значительно больше, чем у соперника.
