Liverpool fans used to call Wembley 'Anfield South' given the amount of journeys their side used to make to the national stadium in the 70s and 80s. But for a number of Reds supporters, they hold just as fond memories of the trips that teams managed by Gerard Houllier and Rafa Benitez made to the Millennium Stadium at the turn of the 21st century while Wembley was being redeveloped. Two games stand-out in particular and given they celebrate their anniversaries this week, what better time to take a trip down Memory Lane for a double-header edition of our Liverpool Classics podcast. As not only do Guy Clarke and Dan Kay reminisce about the Michael Owen-inspired 2-1 victory over Arsenal in the 2001 FA Cup final, they also cast their mind back to the 2006 showpiece success over West Ham United in which Steven Gerrard produced a performance so good, and so talismanic, that the game will forever be remembered as 'the Gerrard final'.
