Liverpool's class of 2007 have written their names into Anfield history by retaining the FA Youth Cup.The under-18s lifted the trophy after a dramatic penalty shoot-out against Manchester United in their own backyard on Thursday night.
Steve Heighway's youngsters, who lost the Anfield leg 2-1 last week, took the game to spot kicks following a deserved 1-0 victory at Old Trafford. The victory means Liverpool Under-18s have now gone two years without defeat in youth football's premier competition. What a way for the retiring Heighway to bow out. The triumph was witnessed by new Reds co-owner George Gillett, whose presence provided yet another indication of the safe hands in which former chairman David Moores has placed the club. Mr Gillett's smile as the travelling Kop erupted spoke volumes, while the hoards of Reds watching around the country will be hoping this is just the first of many trophies under our new American owners.
"Haa mamak, nasib baik kau tak betting ngan aku game ni, kalau tak dua hari laa aku makan free kat ini!"
