In this 20-minute podcast, we speak about that historic Arsenal win with a man who was a part of the Gunners’ squad on that fateful Friday evening. Kevin Campbell joins us to take a stroll and a sprint down memory lane and recall the final day of the 1989 Football League season. 

Many Arsenal fans consider this game to be one of the club’s finest, if not the finest. And Kevin tells us why. From manager George Graham’s unique build-up for this clash, with the Arsenal bus getting stuck in traffic on its way to Liverpool, to the hysteria that followed the famous goal scored by Kevin’s school-mate, Michael Thomas. 

Jurgen Klopp has asked for a greater atmosphere at Anfield for this Saturday’s game. For inspiration, watch the podcast below.
