Despite their 2-1 defeat at the hands of AC Milan, Liverpool is set to parade the European Champions League trophy through the streets of Liverpool once again.
Stars from Liverpool's European Cup winning sides of 1977, 1978, 1981 and 1984, together with the trophy from that amazing night in Istanbul in 2005, will board a 'Champions of Champions' bus to celebrate the club's contribution to European football.
The five time European Champions have teamed up with Stagecoach Merseyside to celebrate the success of the club in Europe's most prestigious competition.
Their five stunning victories will be commemorated on a specially commissioned Stagecoach double Decker bus that has been wrapped to look exactly like an open topped vehicle.
Images of the greatest players in the club's history will bring the bus to life in a series of portraits that will adorn the top of the vehicle making it look like the genuine article.
Tom Wileman, Regional Director of Stagecoach Merseyside said: "Liverpool's achievements in European football have been fantastic not only for the city, but for the whole region and we wanted to recognise and celebrate that. Liverpool FC's success has not only put them on the European map but has also given them recognition globally. They've had many cultured sides over the years and it's fitting, in the thirtieth anniversary year of their first European victory, that we celebrate them as the Cream of Europe."
Les Wheatley, Finance Director of Liverpool FC said: "We are delighted to be working with Stagecoach Merseyside in highlighting the remarkable success that Liverpool has had on the European stage. It is something that everyone associated with the club can be justifiably proud of."
The 'Champions of Champions' bus will leave the Main Stand Car Park at Anfield, on Wednesday 20 June at 2.00pm.
Former players who will be riding on board the bus include Alan Kennedy, Phil Neal, David Fairclough, Chris Lawler, Ian St John, David Johnson and Ian Callaghan.
Isn't this a bit unnneccessary? I know we have a glorious past but lets move on shall we - we get accused of living in the past too often as it is
