REDS LEGENDS WIN MASTERS

Legends from Liverpool's illustrious past rolled back the years on Sunday afternoon as a Reds team featuring Ian Rush and John Aldridge won the Sheffield Masters including a 5-0 win over Everton. Liverpool beat Sheffield Wednesday in the final 5-4 on penalties with goalkeeper Bob Bolder the hero making some great saves, and have now qualified for the Grand Final on September 4, at the M.E.N arena in Manchester.

Alan Kennedy was the oldest player in the tournament at 51 and captained the team featuring goalkeeper Bob Bolder, John Wark, Mike Marsh, Nigel Spackman, Michael Thomas, Paul Walsh, John Aldridge, Ian Rush and John Durnin.

In the Reds first game they drew 2-2 with a Sheffield Wednesday side featuring the likes of Chris Waddle, Carlton Palmer and striker Efan Ekoku, a big Liverpool fan.

The good bit :)

Game three saw the Merseyside derby and just as it was in 1982 then at Goodison Park Liverpool hammered Everton 5-0. Ian Rush scored four that day but had to settle for just the two this time around.

It could have been more than five as Neville Southall was absolutely magnificent in goal for the Blues. He denied Wark, Durnin and Aldridge before Rush got his customary goal against Everton to put the Reds 1-0 up after being set-up by Marsh.

Michael Thomas made it 2-0 with an excellent finish after good play from Rush who then set up Marsh to make it 3-0. Paul Walsh made it 4-0 with a superb individual goal before Aldridge set up Rush for his second goal and Liverpool's fifth.
