We pointed out some coincidences between 1981 and 2005 in the article, "Will history repeat itself?" last night – now we’ve found out about some more, this time between 1978 and 2005:
1978:
The Pope Dies
Rugby Union Grand Slam for Wales
League Cup Final Defeat for Liverpool against the eventual League Champions (Nottingham Forest)
Liverpool win the European Cup
2005:
The Pope Dies
Rugby Union Grand Slam for Wales
League Cup Final Defeat for Liverpool against the eventual League Champions (Chelsea?)
Can Liverpool win the European Cup?
Thanks to Steve for sending these to us – any offers on 1977 and 1984 now?
