KNATTSPYRNUFELAG

Bill Shankly took over in charge at Liverpool in 1959 and eventually took the team into the European Cup in 1964-5, having won the First Division the previous season. They played Knattspyrnufelag Rekjavikur 11-1 in the Preliminary round. The club is simply Rekjavik FC and the oldest club in Iceland-founded 16th February 1899. This was the first time an Icelandic team qualified for the European Cup competition.

Here is the team playing in the first official league game in 1912, when finally enough clubs joined in to make a competition!!
Knattspyrnu means "ball kicking". Felag means club and the team wears black and white in honour of Newcastle united....their nearest proper club????

Today in 1974, Liverpool beat Norwegians Stromsgodset IF 11-0 in the First Round of the European Cup Winners Cup. Nine different members of the team scored (Thompson 2, Boersma 2, Callaghan, Cormack, Heighway, Hughes, Kennedy, Lindsay, Smith).
They beat the Norwegians 1-0 away a week later.
