Back in the day - a nostalgic glace at the weekend's matches

Everton's home fixture with Queens Park Rangers in May 1985 will live forever in the memory of the 50,514 crammed into Goodison Park that day.

It was the day what had been inevitable for months was finally rubber-stamped - the three points secured thanks to goals from Derek Mountfield and Graeme Sharp confirmed the Blues as league champions for the first time in fifteen years.

The video below features rare footage and interviews of the jubilant post-match celebrations on the pitch as well as in the tunnel and dressing rooms.

Liverpool's opening away game of the 1987/88 season saw them take the field without star striker Ian Rush - now departed to Juventus - but with new signings John Barnes, Peter Beardsley and John Aldridge lining up for the first time in an attacking triumvirate that would go to produce some of the most celebrated football in Anfield history.

Barnes and Aldridge combined to give the Reds an early lead but Paul Davis soon levelled for the home side as over 50,000 sweltered inside Highbury on a scorching summer's day.

It took a long-range effort from full-back Stevie Nicol to seal the points, looping in a header from the edge of a box just four minutes from time to get Liverpool's bid to regain the league title from Mersey rivals Everton off to a winning start.
