4 – 2006: LIVERPOOL v West Ham United (FA Cup Final)

|

Just a year later, Liverpool were at it again. This time with a different goalkeeper to take the plaudits as Pepe Reina joined the list of heroic Reds keepers.
The Reds had another hero in this match though, the final become known as the ‘Gerrard Final’ as Liverpool’s captain twice became the saviour with two equalisers as the game seemed to be slipping away.
The Liverpool skipper also scored from the spot during the shoot-out, as did Hamann and Riise, but the headlines were left for Pepe Reina as the Reds keeper saved three of West Ham’s penalties.

Jimmy Areabi (Editor) - @fantasista1077: Huyton raised like Steven Gerrard, football has been my passion since the time I received a Kenny Dalglish badge as a toddler, and I've followed the Reds ever since – something that was easier during the 80s, when I worshipped John Barnes! I've produced work for many football media outlets & am now happy to run a major site on the club I love - providing our fans with a voice, and to bring as much information and news on the club as possible.
Having played football all my life, I aim to continue longer than Stanley Matthews...
