Lets take a break from the countdown for a moment to relive one of the greatest Premier League games of all time. At the time Newcastle United where flying. Both teams where in the title race and both teams believed they could win it. The Toon army led by Kop hero Kevin Keegan played an all out attacking style that at times left them short at the back. The Liverpool team at the time had England's hottest young talent Robbie Fowler. Everyone was talking about him he was scoring goals for fun.
The game was played weeks before my 7th birthday. We had not long got Sky Sports in our house and i remember my mum saying if i didn't behave she wouldn't let me watch the match. So needless to say i was on my best behavior. I'm not going to go through every moment of the game i think Andy Gray and Martin Tyler's commentary can do it better than my words ever could. In my oppinion the mid 90's was when Gray and Tyler where at their peak. They made me so excited for watching football. They fueld the fire that made my love for football everlasting and so strong. I can still repeat word for word the final words spoken by the duo as Collymore lashed the ball into the net. The images are carved in my memory for life. This game is my earliest memory in life and football.
Liverpool 4 - 3 Newcastle United
