On this day in 2003, the Bhoys of Seville knocked Liverpool out of the UEFA Cup quarter final with a superb 2-0 win at Anfield.

Few gave Martin O’Neill’s side a chance of progression after drawing the first leg 1-1 at Paradise, but the Hoops had other ideas.

Alan Thompson got the ball rolling… under Steven Gerrard in the Liverpool wall and into the back of the net. Then, John Hartson scored an incredible second half goal to complete a memorable night.

Hailing from an Irish background, I grew up on the English south coast with the good fortune to begin watching Celtic during the Martin O'Neill era. I have written four Celtic books since the age of 19: Our Stories & Our Songs: The Celtic Support, Take Me To Your Paradise: A History Of Celtic-Related Incidents & Events, Walfrid & The Bould Bhoys: Celtic's Founding Fathers, First Season & Early Stars, and The Holy Grounds of Glasgow Celtic: A Guide To Celtic Landmarks & Sites Of Interest. These were previously sold in Waterstones and official Celtic FC stores, and are now available on Amazon.
