In this design home goalkeeper shirt Liverpool in played in ...

In Charity Shield (11.08.1979) match was used simple goalkeeper home shirt (photo in top left page, Ray Clemence H 1.9), in shirt not was special embroidery to this match. The special embroidery as was absent in matches Charity Shield 1971, 1974, 1979, 1980, 1982, 1983, 1984, 1986, 1988, 1989, 1990 & 1992. Liverpool also played in 60's Charity Shield matches, but and this matches used simple shirt, without special embroidery.

In left side page Liverpool home shirt, of course this shirt not used in this match, but in this style home shirt played in this match.

This big story, why Liverpool FC management in end 70s and 80s, for some big matches. League Cup Final,(1981 *, 1982, 1983 & 1984), Charity Shield (1979, 1980, 1982, 1983, 1984, 1986, 1988, 1989, 1990, & 1992), World Club Championship (1981 & 1984), not made shirt with special embroidery for this matches. Big question. Wish remember, what contenders (not all) of our club in these matches, played in shirts with a special match embroidery. It does not concern foreign teas where there was no culture, to embroider on shirts the memorable text about a match.
In Charity Shield matches, only Manchester United (20.08.1983) and Leeds United (08.08.1992).
In League Cup Final (1981, 1982, 1983 & 1984), matches, all ours contenders played in shirts with special match embroidery.
Can at whom there are thoughts on it a club stage, write to me, please contact us.

In this design home goalkeeper shirt Liverpool played in away Friendly match versus League Of Ireland, 0-2, 18.08.1979, at Dalymount Park (Dublin, Ireland).

The date of this match was actually the opening day of the new English League season. But Liverpool, scheduled to play away at Wolverhampton, were unable to play because a new stand at Molineux had not yet been completed. Liverpool eventually played their away League match at Molineux in February, 1980.

In down left side page, Liverpool goalkeeper shirt which Ray Clemence hsve on hand in Dublin.

On some site about History Liverpool shirt write what, Liverpool use home shirt with big HITACHI logo in season 1980-81, but this not right, in first Liverpool FC played in away Friendly match versus Borussia (Moenchengladbach, FRG), 1 August 1979. Now have more photos with away Friendly match between League of Ireland-Liverpool (18.08.1979),when can to look on Liverpool players dress home shirt with big HITACHI logo (left image Terry McDermott). Right image, show Kenny Dalglish in home match Division One versus Bolton Wanderers (21.09.1979), Kenny Dalglish in home shirt big HITACHI logo.

Interesting fact. Curiously, but in the same photo on Ray Clemence the goalkeeper shirt of a team of the contender is dressed. As I think, Ray Clemence could not play to a home goalkeeper shirt of Liverpool FC (I shall remind, it green color) as field players of team League Of Ireland send on a floor in home goalkeeper shirt of national team Republic of Ireland, green, and goalkeeper shirts of other color with a of club emblem at it were not. The problem is solved so, Ray Clemence played to a goalkeeper shirt of yellow color, team League Of Ireland, at number 1, and the goalkeeper of team League Of Ireland, Alan O'Neill, played to a goalkeeper shirt at number 16.

Yellow color of a goalkeeper shirt, is color which was used by goalkeepers in matches of national teams (not as now). Player number on Ireland goalkeeper shirt was green color.
