Liverpool FA Cup Tickets

Liverpool are one of the biggest sides to have ever been established in England, therefore it is no surprise that they are one of the teams that many want to watch when they play in the FA Cup; the world’s oldest knockout football tournament. With games potentially taking place at the iconic Anfield Stadium, which has the capability to hold 54,074 fans, it becomes a truly entertaining spectacle, especially when some of English football’s minnows arrive in town.

With players such as Mohamed Salah, John Barnes and Virgil van Dijk having all played some part in the competition over the years, it is certainly one the Merseyside behemoths continually look to add to their trophy cabinet.

The Reds have a storied history in the FA Cup and have been incredibly successful in the past as they continue to be one of the standout participants each year. Liverpool have managed to win the title on no fewer than seven different occasions, making them one of the most successful sides to have competed in previous editions. They do still have some way to go, though, if they want to ever claim to be the best football club in the history of the tournament.

Liverpool lifted the trophy in 1964/65, 1973/74, 1985/86, 1988/89, 1991/92, 2000/01 and in 2005/06, however they have since found it difficult to reach the final of the tournament as getting to that stage has proven difficult.

The Reds’ 2005-06 triumph is certainly one that is remembered by those that follow the FA Cup, as it saw Liverpool put on an incredibly entertaining spectacle against West Ham United at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, Wales.

Having gone 0-2 down to the Hammers through an own goal by Jamie Carragher and an effort from Dean Ashton, the side led by Rafa Benítez then managed to get themselves back in the game via Djibril Cisse. Steven Gerrard would then level the fixture up with a sensational volleyed goal that went down in Liverpool folklore.

West Ham United managed to go back ahead through Paul Konchesky, however with the final whistle imminent, Liverpool legend Gerrard sent the tie into extra-time. Penalties would then follow after the additional 30 minutes proved inconclusive, but the Reds held their nerves and managed to convert three of their penalties from the four attempted, whereas the Hammers missed three of their four from 12-yards out.
