Talk:Billy Liddell

1956 FA Cup
From a point raised at the peer review. For the Manchester City perspective on the cup tie, I have in Alan Rowlands' Trautmann: The Biography, p175: "The referee blew his whistle just as Liverpool were mounting a last furious attack. Trautmann, most of the players and certainly the crowd, did not hear it. Liddell pushed the ball past Trautmann and turned in triumph. Bert, in despair, was about to retrieve the ball from the netting when Roy Paul ushered his players to leave the field. Somewhat mystified, Bert rushed off with his team while the Liverpool players surrounded Mervyn Griffiths, the referee, when they discovered, to their absolute horror, the goal did not count... ...They speedily departed for home leaving the Anfield club to seethe away at the considered injustice." Ken Barnes recalls the reaction of the crowd in This Simple Game: The Footballing Life of Ken Barnes, p56: "It was bloody bedlam! We heard the whistle okay. In fact, some of us were already shaking hands at the half-way line. But Billy was heading hell for leather towards the Kop. There was such a din, the crowd never heard the whistle. But there's no question it had blown. Obviously the fans weren't happy, but there's no doubt the game was over when he put it in." Oldelpaso (talk) 19:17, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
