english club victories were often celebrated in a manner which evoked memories of the war. the outspoken brian clough is on record boasting that he never lost to a german side and that he took satisfaction from this for what the germans had done to his father during the war. clough memorably led nottingham forest to a 1–0 win in cologne following a spectacular 3–3 draw at the city ground in the 1979 semifinal en route to forest winning their first european cup. the following year, a forest side minus star player, trevor francis, defeated hamburg in the final by employing an italian style catenaccio based on dogged defence and brilliant goalkeeping by peter shilton. one other famous manager who never tasted defeat against the germans was bob paisley who led liverpool to three of their five european cup wins and one of their two uefa cup wins. liverpool have a tremendous record against german opposition, from both sides of the east-west divide, and once famously hit 1860 munich 8–0 in an old fairs cup game, a treatment meted out to hamburg (6–0) when winning the first of their three european super cups, the second also against german opposition in the form of fc bayern munich. liverpool's encounters with bayern and borussia mönchengladbach (known in germany as the gladbacher), the latter a force to be reckoned with in the 70s, are memorable. bayern and liverpool first met in the fairs cup (the forerunner to the uefa cup) in 1970–71. bayern had hit coventry city for six in a previous round. liverpool won the first leg 3–0 with an alun evans hat-trick and drew 1–1 in munich. this was the bayern team of franz beckenbauer, maier, gerd müller, schwarzenbeck and breitner who turned the tables on liverpool the following year in a uefa cup winners' cup second round tie, drawing at anfield and winning 3–1 at home. the most important encounter between the two sides was in the european cup semi-final of 1981 when a depleted liverpool were held to a goalless draw at anfield and then drew 1–1 in munich. they scored in the 83rd minute with a ray kennedy goal at the olympia stadion in munich before karl-heinz rummenigge equalised in the 88th minute to preserve bayern's then unbeaten home record against english opposition, even though liverpool went through to win their third european cup final. the two sides met again in the 2001 uefa super cup when liverpool, managed by gérard houllier, stormed to a three-goal lead before bayern scored twice towards the end to make the score more respectable. apart from the 1977 european cup final, liverpool beat mönchengladbach, who had been eliminated on penalties by the other mersey side, everton, in the 1970–1971 european cup competition, in the 1973 uefa cup final and the 1978 european cup semi-final. the great günter netzer, now a pundit on german television, and midfield forager, herbert wimmer, played for mönchengladbach in the encounters with everton and the 1973 cup final against liverpool, then managed by bill shankly. that year liverpool won the cup beating four german teams along the way, two from west germany (eintracht frankfurt and the gladbacher) and two from the ddr (dynamo dresden, who they also beat twice in later years, and sc dynamo berlin). borussia mönchengladbach's two champions league encounters with liverpool involved allan simonsen, berti vogts, herbert wimmer, rainer bonhof and jupp heynckes. borussia would eliminate an english club in 1979 en route to winning the uefa cup for the second time in their history. the english club was manchester city whose manager, malcolm allison, had taken over a few months earlier from tony book and dismantled what seemed, in the earlier rounds, to be a star-studded side, to blood young wannabes.
