Five memorable Anfield encounters against Spanish opposition (Liverpool FC)

Ahead of Liverpool's Champions League last-16 meeting with Real Madrid, we take a look at five memorable Anfield encounters the Reds have enjoyed against ...

Theresa, 74, added: “My husband, being the gregarious guy that he was from an early age, wrote to Bill Shankly in 1964 and asked if he would sign the back of the original photo from Preston North End because the signature on the front was a bit faded. “But they actually then met when Bill Shankly was in the RAF and William was a PT instructor where he was stationed.
