A general view of Anfield, home of Liverpool Football Club
THE build-up to every Anfield Merseyside derby in recent memory references Everton’s 1-0 win at the stadium in September 1999. Kevin Campbell’s strike within the first five minutes was the only goal of the game. It was the last time the blue half of Merseyside triumphed on red soil.
The Liverpool lineup that day included the likes of Jamie Carragher, Michael Owen, Robbie Fowler and Jamie Redknapp; the Everton XI featured players such as David Weir, Richard Dunne, Don Hutchison and Nick Barmby.
These are figures associated with those early years of the English top flight’s Premier League rebrand, and a generation of players have come and gone since.
