How the extra special goals left their mark

IAN ST JOHN

1 IT'S one of the most celebrated goals in Reds history, and it came nine minutes from the end of extra time.

All of the goals in the 1965 FA Cup Final came in the extra period, Billy Bremner equalising Roger Hunt's opener. But The Saint's stooping header finally brought the Cup to Anfield for the first time.

ADRIAN HEATH

2 EVERTON hadn't been to an FA Cup Final for 16 years - and Southampton were the toughest opponents left in the 1984 Cup competition.

But with Everton's Highbury semi-final seemingly drifting to a replay Heath rose highest in the Saints' penalty box to plant a header past Peter Shilton. It was the very last minute of extra-time, and the most glorious era in Everton's entire history was just about to dawn.

IAN RUSH

3 NO-ONE has scored more extra time goals for Liverpool than Ian Rush, which is hardly surprising given that no-one has scored more goals full stop.

But two of his most memorable came at Wembley in 1989. A 72nd minute substitute for John Aldridge, Rush needed one goal to create a new scoring record in Merseyside derbies. He managed two to break Blue hearts and land the FA Cup.

GRAEME SHARP

4 ONLY Dixie Dean scored more goals for Everton than Graeme Sharp. But the Scot was more a scorer of great goals than a great goalscorer.

One of his best came at Villa Park in the semi-final of the 1986 FA Cup. Sheffield Wednesday had pegged back Alan Harper's opener to take the game into extra time, then Sharp volleyed home an exocet to take the Blues back to Wembley for a third successive FA Cup final.

RONNIE WHELAN

5 TEN minutes of extra time in the 1992 FA Cup semi-final remained when Darren Anderton gave Second Division Portsmouth a shock lead against Liverpool.

But with three minutes left John Barnes curled a free-kick against a post - and Whelan levelled.

EAMONN O'KEEFE

6 THE official attendance was 49,192 . . . but with thousands more cramming into Goodison without paying after the gates had opened to let out early leavers, the FA Cup fifth round replay of 1981 was witnessed by a huge gallery. They saw Eamonn O'Keefe hit an extra time winner to dump out Southampton.

IAN RUSH

7 THE first all-Mersey FA Cup final became a reality, thanks to extra time goals at Villa Park and White Hart Lane. Southampton kept the Reds at bay until the 99th minute, when Rush finally broke their resistance. Five minutes later he added a second.

DEREK MOUNTFIELD

8 JUST a minute from the end of the 1985 FA Cup semi-final, Everton were on their way out to Luton. Then Kevin Sheedy grabbed an equaliser and in extra time Mountfield headed a winner.

JAN MOLBY

9 LIVERPOOL'S FA Cup campaign was certainly getting tough against little York City. After a 1-1 draw at Bootham Crescent, Molby finally broke York's resistance at Anfield four minutes into extra time and Kenny Dalglish struck four minutes later.

BRIAN LITTLE

10 EVERTON had bravely battled back at Hillsborough and Old Trafford in the first ever domestic Cup Final to go to three matches. But just seconds before a Cup Final was decided by a penalty shoot-out for the first time, a cross was cruelly deflected and Little pounced.
