Bangor City FC?
In January 1979 Bob Paisley took Liverpool for a friendly at Farrar Rad, Bangor
Farrar Road is now an Asda supermarket
why were Liverpool there?
"the highlight of the season for the fans occurred on January the 30th, when Liverpool were the visitors in a friendly. Liverpool were the European champions, having won the European cup in both 1977 and 1978. Liverpool had gone eight weeks without playing due to the terrible winter, and were desperate for a game. Liverpool’s full Division One team, including Kenny Dalglish, Ray Clemence, and captain Emlyn "Crazy Horse" Hughes, beat Bangor 4-1. "
i like photos like this because they tell you so much
8 weeks without a game for a top flight team? that will be before undersoil heating then
a full first team goes to Bangor? yes, not Abu Dhabi or Singapore or wherever for a quick buck or warm weather training, back the next day for a game
so i then got looking at bangor city
three times in the cup winners cup, twice in the uefa cup
