THE most exciting and significant end to a top-flight season ever happened on 26/05/1989.
Liverpool, the champions, the masters, at home to Arsenal — the new kids on the block. No title for 18 years, George Graham’s young team with no fear.

As injury time ebbed away, Arsenal were one up through an Alan Smith goal. Surely time had run out?
