Right, this is a special edition of a Blooded Podcast. It's March the 16th, 2017, which means that

0:10.1

40 years ago today, one of the, probably one of the most important goals ever scored in

0:14.7

Avveield, certainly one of the most wildly celebrated goals was scored. The man who

0:19.4

scored it, it's that opposite of year in our favorite hostelry, Avona Pines, reminiscent on the night that David Faircluff,

0:28.0

scored the goal. It took Liverpool through to the European Cup semi-firing in 1977.

0:35.1
