The lap of honour was fantastic. I am so pleased for them. Tonight was great and tomorrow for the homecoming will be tremendous. This was the perfect ending for me. I have played my last game for Liverpool. I have no regrets. It is a fantastic way to finish. I have only stayed on for this season because the club chairman asked me to stay to help to try to win the European Cup. I have kept my side of the bargain.
29 april 1950: Liverpool spelar sin andra FA Cup-final, 36 år efter den första mot Burnley. Återigen blir det förlust, den här gången med 2-0 mot Arsenal.
