As we head into a week that sees us face a mouthwatering derby double-header with Everton, it is perhaps fitting that we have chosen to look at an item from one of our finest ever triumphs against the Toffees.
It is the shirt and tracksuit top that the great Kenny Dalglish wore back in 1986.

The first all-Merseyside FA Cup final was a great occasion for everyone associated with the club as we came from behind to beat our neighbours 3-1 at Wembley.
It not only meant that we lifted the FA Cup, but it also saw us clinch our first and only league and FA Cup double.
It would prove to be one of the highlights of King Kenny's career and capped a remarkable first season as player/manager.
We also have some other items from Dalglish's time at Anfield in this cabinet, including the actual Canon League trophy. When you won the league back in those days you used to get this strange piece of silverware along with the championship trophy we all know and love.
It's a nice quirky item to have along with a host of fantastic Dalglish memorabilia.
Kenny's is just one a number of great shirts that we have here and you will notice that none of them are signed.
People have this idea that the shirts should have someone's name written all over it. But what you discover is that 'real' shirts, actually worn by the players, are not signed. They don't need to be.
This is Kenny's shirt, worn in that famous final and owned by him.
It sets them apart from the sort of framed shirts you see in pubs - this is the real McCoy.
