MAY 20th 1962 Bobby Moore (back row right) made his England debut and Jimmy Greaves scored a hat-trick in England’s 4-0 friendly victory in Peru, in Lima, a match with Andean, altitude issues. Names-not in order. Springett, Armfield, Moore, Norman, Wilson, Flowers, Haynes, Douglas, Hitchen, Charlton R, Greaves
This was a warm up game before the 1962 World Cup in Chile. The two have met three times:
| 17 May 1959 | Peru v England | L | 4-1 | International Friendly Greaves our scorer |
| 20 May 1962 | Peru v England | W | 0-4 | International Friendly |
| 30 May 2014 | England v Peru | W | 3-0 | International Friendly |
and on MAY 20th 1989
For the second time in three years, Wembley hosted an all-Merseyside FA Cup final between Liverpool and Everton. In the first of those finals - in May 1986 - Liverpool beat their great rivals 3-1 to complete their first League and FA Cup double. (In the following season's Final, it was the Wimbledon lot that spoiled the occasion).
In the 1989 Final, Liverpool took the lead with a goal from John Aldridge after just four minutes, a lead they held until the last kick of the 90 minutes when Stuart McCall hit an equaliser for Everton. Ian Rush restored Liverpool's lead in the fifth minute of extra time, Stuart McCall equalised again with Rush scoring what was the winner two minutes later. Another success for the red half of Liverpool but with the Hillsborough tragedy having taken place only five weeks earlier celebrations were very much muted. (below: reference: https://www.fa-cupfinals.co.uk/1989.htm). Before kick-off there was a minute's silence and the teams wore black armbands as a sign of respect. Gerry Marsden, lead singer of Gerry & the Pacemakers, led the crowd singing his hit "You'll Never Walk Alone", which had become synonymous with Liverpool Football Club.
