If you seek an extensive wallow in Alty FC nostalgia, track down a copy of the official match programme that was published for the FA Cup Fourth Round tie between Liverpool and Havant & Waterlooville on 26th January 2008 (eBay is a good place to start).

As this represented Liverpool's first FA Cup tie against Non League opposition since Alty visited Anfield for a Third Round tie on 3rd January 1981, the impressive programme features several articles reminiscing about the day that the Robins faced Bob Paisley's reigning League Champions.

The programme contains:

*** The Files Of Anfield Road: nine pages of photographs of the Liverpool v Alty match from the archives of the Liverpool Echo, including snaps of goals by Terry McDermott and Kenny Dalglish;

*** The Kop 'N' Goal Years: a five page report on the build-up to the tie and the match itself, including further photographs (in one of these, they incorrectly identify Harry McNally as Tony Sanders on the Alty bench!);

*** John Owens feature: a three page interview with the former Alty central defender who is the current Liverpool Academy Manager, in which he describes how he tried (and failed!) to mark Kenny Dalglish;

*** Shankly's Last Anfield Visit: a page detailing how Bill Shankly was in the Alty dressing room as an advisor to Tony Sanders on that memorable afternoon.

All in all, it's an ideal accompaniment to the recently issued DVD of the Liverpool v Alty match.

Huge thanks to Ian Boardman in the Robins Shop for alerting me to this issue.

P.S. We really should go back to an all white away kit rather than our present blue monstrosity.....!

Totally agree that we should ditch the blue, and have all white away next season.

The we could also make more money as well, as we'd probably (stupidly) need a third kit, because referees now don't know the difference between any team that plays in white and red and white

[altrincham]

Agree never liked playing in colours related to Macc...

[baldrick]

Spare a thought for us fatties. We would look even fatter in white.

I think we should revert to our lucky yellow away kit, last worn in our promotion campaign in 2004/05.

[blackpoolalty]

disagree, i like the two tone blue away kit and think the all white one is ghastly, the yellow one is very in ya face too.

[Number23]

Forget the away kit.......    We should revert to Red shorts for the home kit......
