Brian Hall’s first Liverpool goal was the winner in an FA Cup semi-final against Everton. For a player who had originally come to the city to study mathematics, Old Trafford provided an extraordinary place to make his mark.
Brian Hall needed only three minutes to score Liverpool’s first league goal of 1972–73. Ian Callaghan supplied the second near the end, as a season that would bring the championship began with a 2–0 win against Manchester City.
Brian Hall scored twice as Liverpool answered defeat at Birmingham with a commanding Boxing Day win. John Toshack and Steve Heighway also scored in a result which returned Bob Paisley's side to first place.
