IN MUNICH tomorrow night, two five-time European Cup winners will play for a place in the last eight of the Champions League. 

They last met in the competition in a dramatic semi-final 38 years ago. The Liverpool squad now contains several black footballers but at the start of that 1980-81 season no black man had ever represented the club. 

In 1987, John Barnes became the first black player signed by Liverpool from another club, but a decade earlier they had produced one of their own.
