Olympia Stadion, Munich, Germany

Official programme. 32 pages.

Die Blaue. 4 pages (with single sheet insert).

Germany's oldest football programme which was issued between 1922 and 1997 for all home matches of TSV Munich and Bayern Munich. Until the mid-1960s both Munich clubs did not produce any match day programmes; only monthly reports. So Die Blaue was the only real programme printed in the Bavarian capital for more then four decades. And even up to the mid-1970s most Munich football supporters did not buy the official club programmes as they were used to getting their Blaue. Issues for German full internationals played in Munich were also produced. In 1997, after 75 years, publication stopped as the old fashioned layout was not able to compete with the full coloured magazine style programmes issued by the clubs.

A 1-1 draw in Munich on 22 April 1981 was enough to send Liverpool to the European Cup final! The first game ended in a goalles draw and #LFC progressed on away goals. Ray Kennedy scored for the Reds with 7 minutes left. Rummenigge equalised, but Bayern failed to get a winner! pic.twitter.com/54iJ0ZAxat

Great to see Howard Gayle - the first black player to wear the Liverpool shirt - on TV ahead of #BAYLIV match talking about the part he played in the 1981 semi final against Bayern.

And, of course, he's wearing an @SRTRC_England badge.#ShowRacismTheRedCard #YNWA pic.twitter.com/pK42wCNyRx

Revised ‘The Liverpool Boys are in Town’ Book is available now. The original was wrote in 2003/4 and was self published with a pic from our trip to Bayern Munich in 1981 on the cover. Maybe the 1st pic of Trimm Trab @PeteMcKee did a painting of it for us. https://t.co/IGBpYSQHIR pic.twitter.com/sYKVZnsrUh

Sad news yesterday about the death of Ray Kennedy.

Back in April 1981 his goal in a 1-1 draw away to Bayern Munich took Liverpool through to the European Cup final, with Barry Davies conveying the significance of the moment in his commentary.#LFC #RIPRayKennedy pic.twitter.com/AvUrqPd1tp
