Liverpool's trip to the Olimpiyskiy Stadium for the Champions League final brings back memories that will never leave Phil Thompson.
In October 2001, the 1981 European Cup-winning captain led the Reds to become the first English team to win in Kiev.
Their 2-1 victory over Dynamo Kyiv that night was all the more commendable considering the circumstances that preceded the fixture.
The day before the team were due to fly out from Merseyside, Liverpool played out a 1-1 draw with Leeds United at Anfield, but the game paled into insignificance once news filtered through that manager Gerard Houllier had collapsed during the half-time break.
