Beglin reflects on 25-year anniversary of Liverpool Double

Former Liverpool fullback Jim Beglin has been reflecting on the 25 year anniversary of the club's Double winning campaign.

The former Reds defender made 53 appearances in Kenny Dalglish's first campaign at the helm, producing a string of outstanding displays in what many supporters regard as his finest for the club.

A 3-1 win over Everton in the first all-Merseyside FA Cup final was the icing on the cake and an occasion the Irishman will never forget.

"It's hard to believe it was 25 years ago," Beglin told liverpoolfc.tv.

"That final was such a brilliant occasion. I must have had 60 family and friends over from my home town of Waterford. To be able to celebrate with them was amazing.

"For me to get in that Liverpool side and then achieve something like that meant so much.

"It's the only double the club has ever done and considering what happened to me a few months later with the broken leg, it's extra special for me.

"To win the league and then go to Wembley a week later and come back against Everton to lift the Cup, that's as good as it gets.

"It was the best high you can ever experience in football and something to be hugely proud of. The whole experience was just out of this world."
