SEAMUS IN REVENGE BID

- CHRIS MCKENNA

SEAMUS CONNEELY was only seven but he won't forget the night Liverpool sent him to bed in tears.

It was back in 1996 and the Newcastle fan had tuned in to see if Kevin Keegan's Magpies could get their Premier League title bid back on track against the Reds at Anfield.

In the season famous for Newcastle blowing a 12-point lead to Manchester United, it was a memorable seven-goal thriller Merseyside with Stan Collymore scoring the late winner that the Accrington Stanley midfielder remembers most, for all of the wrong reasons.

He will now get to grace that Anfield turf this weekend in an FA Cup third-round clash.
