The Magnificent Seven

1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 From Reykjavik to Dortmund
the Liver Bird has flown
Shanks’ dream became reality
when we brought the silver home

2 Leave a comment on verse 2 0 A magnificent seven trophies
the boys in red did claim
The pass masters were unbeatable
when they played their beautiful game

3 Leave a comment on verse 3 0 Shanks got his hands on the UEFA Cup
his face beamed with delight
Toshack destroyed the ‘Gladbach
on a special Anfield night

4 Leave a comment on verse 4 0 We did it again by beating Bruges
they really pushed us hard
but Paisley claimed the first of many
in the Belgians own back yard

5 Leave a comment on verse 5 0 Borussia Moenchengladbach once again
the glory that was Rome
The European Cup safe in Emlyn’s grasp
at last it was coming home

6 Leave a comment on verse 6 0 A Wembley Final the following year
red scarves and banners many
A delicate “chip” saw off Bruges
a coronation for King Kenny

7 Leave a comment on verse 7 0 The mighty Real Madrid were next
The Kop danced in Gay Paris
Barney scored and Paisley smiled
at European Cup number three

8 Leave a comment on verse 8 0 Red Gladiators to the Lion’s Den
at the whistle the score was level
Barney put his pen in the Roma net
and Fagan had clinched his Treble

9 Leave a comment on verse 9 0 A nine goal thriller in Dortmund
Deportivo Alaves brushed aside
Allez, Allez, the Kopites roared
as Houllier beamed with pride

10 Leave a comment on verse 10 0 Bill, Bob, Joe and Gerard
You’ll Never Walk Alone
Thank you for the greatest teams
this country’s ever known
