Twenty-two years after joining Liverpool, Liddell’s testimonial was played at Anfield against an international XI that included the likes of Jimmy Armfield, Nat Lofthouse and Tom Finney. The absence of Stanley Matthews—his name allegedly on the initial billing so as to drum up further interest—saw Liddell line up for the opposition, on a night that...
Hunt returned to Anfield in 1972 as a Bolton player, having joined the Wanderers in 1969, but was understandably revered as he held the club’s all-time goalscoring record with 285—a feat now surpassed by Ian Rush. For the legendary striker’s testimonial, the Reds’ FA Cupside of 1965 took on an England XI largely comprised of the 1966 World Cup-winn...
Yeat’s testimonial saw two of the best clubs in the UK pitted against each other, as Liverpool’s FA Cupwinners of 1974 took on Celtic’s First Division champions and Scottish Cup winners. The Scotland centre-back had left the Reds at the end of the 1970/71 campaign, going on to serve as player-manager at Tranmere, and his side included the retired t...
In a rare occurrence in terms of testimonials, Liverpool held a charity clash for Shankly, 10 months after his retirement from the managerial post. “I’m simply looking forward to going to Anfield to see the people I worked for all those years, who mean so much to me,” Shankly said before the game, held three days after the end of the season. Liverp...
An 18-goal thriller, Smith’s charity friendly in 1977 remains the highest-scoring testimonial in Liverpool history—edging out the 8-8 draw played out for Gerry Byrne, Hunt’s 8-6 win over England and an 8-7 victory over Keith Kennedy’s Bury. Writing for the Guardian, Patrick Barclay described it as “[not] so much a football match” than “a celebratio...
Two years after donning the gloves for Tommy Smith’s testimonial, and on the eve of a move to Wolves, Hughes was given his own charity tie. It came against familiar opposition for the time, with Liverpool having played Borussia Monchengladbach five times over five of the later years of Hughes’ lengthy spell on Merseyside. Gladbach were, of course, ...
Dalglish brought to an end a legendary playing career with Liverpool in 1990, making a sole appearance in the 1989/90 campaign that saw the club lift its last top-flight title. Three months later, the King was given his testimonial, with Real Sociedad the opposition and John Aldridge among their number, having joined the Spanish club the previous s...
After 46 years of service to Liverpool, in which he filled almost every role possible, Moran was given the most fitting sendoff possible with a testimonial at Anfield in 2000. The opposition were Celtic, and before the game five European Cups—four Liverpool’s, one Celtic’s—were paraded around the Anfield pitch by club legends Phil Neal, Bruce Grobb...
Held during the international break, towards the start of Roy Hodgson’s season in charge, Carragher’s testimonial saw him line up for Liverpool against the side he supported as a child, Everton. The No. 23 also ended the 4-1 win having scored for both sides, with both goals coming from the penalty spot—the latter, for the Blues, coming immediately ...
Liverpool’s most recent testimonial came in the summer of 2013, as part of pre-season preparations for a campaign that ultimately saw Brendan Rodgers’ side challenge for the title. Held for Gerrard, it saw the midfielder take on a side against whom he scored one of his most important and iconic goals, with Olympiakos making the trip to Anfield. The...
