The match was a Merseyside derby between Liverpool and Everton, played at Wembley Stadium, London, on 20 May 1989. Liverpool won 3–2 after extra time, with a goal from John Aldridge and two from Ian Rush. Stuart McCall scored both Everton goals. The final was played just five weeks after the Hillsborough disaster, in which 95 Liverpool fans were killed in a crush (the death toll rose to 96 in 1993 and 97 in 2021), and 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 in a rendition of his hit "You'll Never Walk Alone", which had become synonymous with Liverpool Football Club.You'll Never Walk Alone Summary Liverpool took the lead in the match after four minutes through John Aldridge, and held onto that lead until the ninetieth minute, when Everton substitute Stuart McCall equalised, and a pitch invasion by Everton fans ensued. McCall had scored just once for Everton before the FA Cup final, having joined them from Bradford City at the start of the season. McCall's goal was the last kick of the 90 minutes and the match went into extra time. On 95 minutes, Liverpool substitute Ian Rush scored with a half-volley on the turn to give Liverpool a 2–1 lead. Everton again equalised five minutes later when McCall scored his second, chesting and volleying past Bruce Grobbelaar and into the corner of the net, becoming the first substitute to score twice in a final. Rush, who had scored twice in Liverpool's 3–1 win in the first Merseyside derby final three years earlier, scored his second goal in the 104th minute, with a header from a floated John Barnes cross.Harry Harris My Finest Hour http://www.mirrorfootball.co.uk/incoming/article7259.ece/BINARY/Liverpool+3-2+Everton Daily Mirror 22 May 1989 17 June 2011 Liverpool had continued their domination of the English game (they were league champions in 1988 and runners-up in 1987), but Everton had declined since their 1987 title triumph and finished sixth in the league in 1989. UEFA voted for the ban on English clubs in European competitions to continue for a fifth season, ruling out Liverpool's hopes of competing in the Cup Winners' Cup, although they were still in contention for the league title at this stage, and ultimately were only deprived of the title (and a unique second double) by a last-gasp goal in their final game of the season. Liverpool striker Ian Rush had now scored four goals in FA Cup finals (both two-goal hauls against Everton) and was one of 11 players (five for Liverpool) to have featured in both of the all-Merseyside FA Cup finals. Stuart McCall made FA Cup history when he became the first substitute to score two goals in an FA Cup final. Ian Rush matched the feat two minutes later.Everton Firsts http://www.toffeeweb.com/history/players/substitutes.asp Match details 20 May 1989 15:00 BST Liverpool 3–2 yes Everton http://www.fa-cupfinals.co.uk/1989.htm Aldridge 4 Rush 95 104 McCall 90 102 Wembley Stadium London 82,800 Joe Worrall (Cheshire) _whitelines _whitecollar _whitelines _3_stripes_white _adidaswhite DD0000 DD0000 DD0000 DD0000 DD0000 Liverpool _collarwhite 003399 003399 003399 FFFFFF 003399 Everton GK 1 ZIM Bruce GrobbelaarCB 2 ENG Gary AblettLB 3 IRL Steve Staunton 90RB 4 SCO Steve NicolCM 5 IRL Ronnie Whelan (c)CB 6 SCO Alan Hansen CF 7 ENG Peter BeardsleyCF 8 IRL John Aldridge 73RM 9 IRL Ray HoughtonLM 10ENG John BarnesCM 11ENG Steve McMahonSubstitutes:DF 12ENG Barry Venison 90FW 14WAL Ian Rush 73Manager:SCO Kenny Dalglish GK 1 WAL Neville SouthallRB 2 ENG Neil McDonaldLB 3 WAL Pat Van Den HauweCB 4 WAL Kevin Ratcliffe (c)CB 5 ENG Dave WatsonCM 6 ENG Paul Bracewell 59RM 7 SCO Pat NevinCM 8 ENG Trevor StevenCF 9 SCO Graeme SharpCF 10ENG Tony CotteeLM 11IRL Kevin Sheedy 78Substitutes:MF 12SCO Ian Wilson 78MF 14SCO Stuart McCall 59Manager:ENG Colin Harvey Match rules 90 minutes 30 minutes of extra-time if necessary Replay if scores still level Two named substitutes Maximum of two substitutions References External links Match Report https://web.archive.org/web/20070226144201/http://www.lfchistory.net/viewgame.asp?game_Id=1690 26 February 2007 at lfchistory.net 1989 Final 1989 Final Fa Cup Final 1989 Fa Cup Final 1989 Category:1989 in London Category:May 1989 sports events in the United Kingdom
