Billy Meredith's last match was the 1924 FA Cup SF that we lost to Newcastle. Also lost to Arsenal in the 1932 SF. Those are the only two FA Cup semis we've lost from 10 appearances.

Liverpool in the League Cup 81 .....I got thrown out of The Annie Road that night!
Forgot that one. We deserved to win, though. Robbed by a referee. Kevin Reeves "Illegal jumping" if I remember rightly...
In the first leg that which we lost 1-0......2nd leg we battered them although we were already 1-0 down by the time I got in the ground as the OB took and age to escort us from Lime Street. Remember a lad called Gary Buckley having a stormer, we got it back to 1-1 and the Scousers were hanging on but we couldn't quite get the 2nd.
Looks familiar. Good research Dave!Didsbury Dave said:If you include all trophies, we've lost....wait for it...

We approach this UEFA quarter-final with possibly our strongest line-up since the early seventies ....... and one which should certainly be well capable of givin' Hamburg a game , even if only in the home leg!!!!!
Hamburg will be only too aware of our victory at Schalke , although some of our playing personnel should be different by the time we actually get around to playing them , and they will have studied us on video , and maybe in the flesh too ........ so they'll be clued in as to our threats as much as they possibly can be ......... but they'll also have heard about our unpredictability and that will make them extremely wary of us , especially in the leg in Germany , where we're likely to rely on sparodic , pacy breakaways .
We seem to be developing a little bit of steel at the back in recent matches , we seem to be finding a better fluency in our general play in european games , and we are also riding our luck in this cup ......... Hamburg will know that we can upset them , especially in the return leg , and any overconfidence on their part could well turn out to be their downfall.
