On the face of it, the match may appear to be a largely insignificant one. But Liverpool's 1-1 First Division draw away to newly-promoted Birmingham City on September 6, 1980 marked a unique point in the club's history.
Kenny Dalglish’s second-half opener was cancelled out by Frank Worthington to leave defending champions Liverpool fifth in the table after five games played of the 1980-81 campaign.
But that doesn’t tell the real history of the fixture. A record that stands even now, and will possibly remain forever, was set that day 40 years ago.
Liverpool’s starting XI for the match was named together for the 48th and final time in all competitions – the most any combination of 11 players in the club’s history has ever lined up collectively.
