We now recall Liverpool's first-ever European triumph when Tommy Smith captained the Reds to UEFA Cup glory against Borussia Moenchengladbach in 1973.

It was a gripping two-legged affair full of drama and incident.

In the first leg, Bill Shankly's Reds swept into a 3-0 lead courtesy of a double strike from Kevin Keegan and an effort from Larry Lloyd. Keegan was also denied a hat-trick when he missed a penalty.

Ray Clemence also made what turned out to be a vital save as he kept out a penalty from Jupp Heynckes.

In the second leg over in Germany, two first-half strikes from Heynckes saw the Reds wobble, but the defence held firm to ensure European glory for Liverpool.
