Kennedy and McAllister share their Roma memories

Liverpool’s Champions League semi-final meeting with AS Roma brings back some special memories for two particular Liverpool legends.

Alan Kennedy will always be remembered as the man who scored winning goals in two separate European Cup finals for the Reds.

The second of those crucial strikes came from the penalty spot against Roma in their own backyard at the Stadio Olimpico in 1984.

Gary McAllister, the inspired Gerard Houllier signing who was key to the treble-winning 2000-01 season, also shone against the Italians in a huge game.

The Scot played a vital role in a fourth-round UEFA Cup victory that preceded the Reds lifting the trophy after beating Alaves in a thrilling final later that year.
