On this day (13th April) in 2006, Liverpool managed an emphatic 3-1 win on penalties over West Ham to win their seventh FA Cup.
The game is always remembered as the Gerrard Final after the midfield generals display.
Liverpool found themselves 2-0 down when Djibril Cisse managed to get one back for the Reds.
Soon, a thunderous volley from Steven Gerrard managed to level out the scoring with all to play for.
However, finding themselves 3-2 with just seconds to spare saw another special moment from the captain.
Despite being laden on the floor with crump just minutes earlier, a 90th minute volley secured extra time for the Reds.
Soon came the penalty shoot out, and as the stars aligned so did Liverpool’s spot kicks.
The Reds eventually ran out 3-1 victors on penalties, lifting their seventh FA Cup in the clubs history.
Gerrard was known for his thunderous goals and big game moments, and this day was no different.

It was an incredible game from the club and an even more incredible performance from Gerrard.
To produce a goal of that quality and power after just suffering from cramp is remarkable.
Gerrard is remembered for many incredible moments in a Liverpool shirt and this goal is certainly up there.
