Ex Liverpool legend Alan Kennedy will visit Holywell Town’s Clubhouse on the evening of Friday 9th November and will share with you his tales and stories from his glorious career, most notably with Liverpool Football Club.

Kennedy was born in Sunderland, Kennedy started his professional career at age 18 for Newcastle United. After establishing his place in the side he played there for five years. He was a member of the team that lost the 1974 F.A. Cup final to Liverpool. In 1978 he was then transferred to Liverpool for 330,000 pounds, which at the time was a British record amount for a full back.

Kennedy scored in the 1981 League Cup Final again West Ham, which ended 1-1 and was won by Liverpool in the replay. He scored the equalising goal with 15 minutes left in the game in the 1983 League Cup final against Manchester United, a match Liverpool went on to win in extra time. Kennedy was on two other League Cup winning teams with Liverpool, in 1982 (against Tottenham Hotspur) and 1984 (against Everton).

In the 1981 European Cup Final against Real Madrid, Kennedy scored the only goal of the match late in the second half.

The 1984 European Cup final between Liverpool and Roma was tied at 1-1 after extra time, so the winner was determined by penalty kicks. Kennedy scored the decisive penalty (the fifth taken by the team, the fourth that was successful) that clinched the victory for Liverpool.

Kennedy was a regular player on the Liverpool teams that won five league championship titles, in 1978–79, 1979–80, 1981–82, 1982–83 and 1983–84.

He also earned two caps for England in 1984.

The evening is bound to be a big hit with Liverpool fans who remember Kennedy lifting the European Cup in the 1980s, during Liverpool's most successful era.
