Summary

24 years on from Liverpool's dramatic 4-3 win over Newcastle United at Anfield on 3rd April 1996, we revisit our interview with match-winner Stan Collymore. The former Reds forward joined Joe Rimmer and Neil Jones back in 2018 to look back on the historic moment, as we delve into the archives. Having arrived for a British record fee, Collymore speaks about his strike partnership at Liverpool with Robbie Fowler, how close he felt Jurgen Klopp's side were to success back then, prior to reaching the 2018 Champions League final in Kiev, as well as why under Roy Evans the Reds were perhaps never quite able to take the final step to securing major silverware.
