The most celebrated moments in Alan Kennedy`s career came at Liverpool. His late goal beat Real Madrid in the 1981 European Cup Final and his decisive spot-kick clinched the same trophy against AS Roma three years later. He joined Pools after a spell in Belgium, and made his debut as a substitute at Turf Moor in October 1987. In total he made six appearances for the club with his only goal coming at Mansfield in the Sherpa Van Trophy.
