No.6: Whelan double puts Spurs to the sword at Wembley

Tottenham started brightly and took an 11th-minute lead when Steve Archibald broke through to fire past Bruce Grobbelaar.

Keith Burkinshaw's side were so close to victory but Whelan drilled Bob Paisley's side level with just three minutes left to play.

In extra-time the momentum had swung into Liverpool's favour. Whelan netted his second and Ian Rush added a third - it was the Welshman's first cup final goal at Wembley and it certainly wouldn't be his last.

Reflecting on his day of glory, Whelan said: "I couldn’t sleep the night before but I remember saying afterwards that I had dreamt I would score the winner — there must have been some Irish logic in that! It was my first trip to Wembley and a massive test.

"Tottenham had a great side with players like Glenn Hoddle, Micky Hazard and Ossie Ardiles. They looked like they had the game won until I squeezed a shot past Ray Clemence towards the end and we got stronger in extra-time.

"I was so over the moon after getting my second that I ran over the running track to celebrate with our fans.

"Only when I got there did I realise it was such a long way back to the pitch and I was so tired that I barely made it. It was a magical day, and special as it was my first major medal."
