Proper miracle
I can remember West Brom coming back from 5-2 down against a great Sir Alex Ferguson's Man Utd.
I dont know if I'd go so far as to say Liverpool winning a football match is against the laws of nature.
I hear you were quite good in the seventies!
I remember the Toon coming back from 4 down against the Goonz

What the fook are those!?
Actually I don't remember people wearing gloves in goal during my school years.
I just looked up when gloves became common place for goalkeepers in the professional game, it appears they were experimented with in the 1970 Mexico World Cup.
Copied from google:
THE 1970S: GOALIE GLOVES GONE GLOBAL
The 1970s was the era when goalie gloves graced the pitch. They emerged from the sidelines, with legendary keepers such as the great Gordon Banks wearing them at Mexico's 1970 FIFA World Cup. Banks’ gloves were still more like gardening gloves (as many early gloves were), but the designs improved as more manufacturers entered the market. Goalie glove makers such as Stanno, Reusch, Uhlsport, and Sondico began mass-producing gloves to match the newfound and rapidly increasing demand from amateur and pro goalkeepers. The defining characteristic of gloves from the 70s was their simple design but their increased protection and grip from previous decades.
