TRABZONSPOR coach Senol Gunes is hoping for better luck at Anfield tonight than on his last visit to the ground 34 years ago.
Gunes, best remembered for leading Turkey to the 2002 World Cup semi-finals, was a member of the Trabzonspor side beaten by Liverpool on their way to European Cup glory in 1976-77.
Liverpool lost the first leg of that second round tie in Trabzon 1-0 but hit back to win the second leg comfortably 3-0.
The two clubs face each other tonight for the first time since that encounter in the first leg of a Europa League play-off.
Gunes, who was in goal in that last meeting, said: “At that time the infrastructures of the clubs were very different.
“We were playing against maybe the strongest team of the time and they became European champions.
“We won at home but when we came here it was really surprising.
