1 - Steven Gerrard's 2005 Champions League Final Jersey

Steven Gerrard's 2005 Champions League final goal is one of the most iconic moments in Liverpool Football Club's history. Gerrard's heroic performance on that fateful night in Istanbul has since become the stuff of legend.

Down 3-0 at halftime to a formidable AC Milan side, Liverpool's hopes of winning the Champions League seemed all but lost. However, as the second half got underway, Gerrard rallied his team, inspiring them to mount an improbable comeback.

Just six minutes into the second half, Gerrard found the back of the net with a powerful header, giving Liverpool a much-needed lifeline. The goal sparked a resurgence in Liverpool's play, and they continued to press forward, creating chance after chance.

Gerrard's tireless effort in midfield was a constant source of inspiration for his teammates, and it was his never-say-die attitude that ultimately led to Liverpool's equalizer.

With just minutes remaining in regular time, Gerrard drove towards the Milan box and was brought down, earning a penalty kick.

Xabi Alonso stepped up to take the kick, and after his initial shot was blocked, he pounced on the rebound, slamming it home to level the score at 3-3.

The game went to penalties, and it was Gerrard who stepped up first for Liverpool. He calmly slotted the ball past Dida, setting the tone for the rest of the shootout.

Jerzy Dudek's two remarkable saves secured the victory for Liverpool, and the LFC crowd erupted in jubilation.

His jersey from the unforgettable 2005 Champions League final is an iconic piece of LFC history. With the captain's armband on his arm, the jersey invokes memories of the historic night and is a must-have for any serious collector of Liverpool FC memorabilia.

2 - Multi-Signed Kenny Dalglish’s 1978 Home Shirt

King Kenny, as he’s fondly known by Liverpool fans, is one of the greatest players to have played for the Reds. His name is synonymous with the club’s success in the 1970s and 1980s, when he served Liverpool FC both as a player and manager.

Kenny particularly played a key role as a player in the team’s success in the 1977–78 season, which saw LFC win the league title for the 11th time. During this season, which was also his first season at the club, Kenny scored 31 goals for LFC.

Dalglish netted 20 of those goals in the English First Division (now known as the Premier League), making him the top scorer in the league that season.

The home shirt that Kenny wore during this season is a special piece of memorabilia for any Liverpool FC fan. It’s a fitting tribute to King Kenny’s contribution to the rich history and legacy of Liverpool.

You can get the retro 1978 home shirt worn by legends such as Kenny Dalglish and Graeme Souness at The Anfield Shop.

3 - Luis Garcia’s Goal in the 2005 Champions League Semi-Final

The stage was set. Liverpool vs. Chelsea at Anfield, with the winning team advancing to the finals of the Champions League.

The Reds were hungry for a victory, as it had been 21 years since they last won the Champions League in 1984. They needed to prove that they still had it in them and reclaim their title among the big names in the world.

Luis Garcia’s goal, which was the only goal of the match, is one of the most memorable moments in Liverpool Football Club’s history.

The build-up to the goal was intense, with the Reds needing a win after a 0-0 draw in the first leg at Stamford Bridge.

It all started with Steven Gerrard flicking on John Arne Riise's pass into the path of Milan Baros. Baros knocked the ball over the out-rushing Chelsea goalkeeper, Petr Cech, but went down under his challenge.

As the ball fell loose, Luis Garcia was in the right place at the right time to apply the finishing touch. The Reds fans erupted in celebration as Liverpool took the lead in the game.

The goal was the culmination of an incredible run in the competition, and it set the stage for Liverpool's dramatic comeback in the final against AC Milan.

To commemorate this iconic moment, we have a hand-signed, framed photograph of Luis Garcia celebrating the goal. The photograph comes in a wooden frame with a plastic molding, with the photo protected by plexiglass.

Unlike traditional glass, plexiglass is more resistant to impact and breakage, reducing the risk of injury in case you accidentally knock it over while celebrating a goal.

4 - Jamie Carragher Signed Honors Shirt

Jamie Carragher is one of the Reds most beloved legends. The former defender spent his entire professional career at Liverpool, making over 700 appearances for the club in multiple competitions.

He was a key part of Liverpool’s success in the 2000s and helped the club win numerous domestic and European titles.

Take, for example, the 2005 UEFA Champions League final against AC Milan. Carragher played the full 120 minutes in the center of defense and put his body on the line many times to keep Milan at bay.

A replica of his iconic red shirt embroidered in white textured Carlsberg sponsor from that game is now a highly sought-after piece of Liverpool FC memorabilia. It reminds fans of the never-say-die attitude of the Reds.

Get the 2005 European Final replica shirt hand-signed by Jamie Carragher. The shirt is also embroidered with Carragher’s playing honors achieved during his career at LFC.

Framed in a polycore black with gold inlay frame, the shirt makes the perfect decor for your Liverpool FC fan cave theme.

Did You Know? Jamie Carragher holds the record for the second most number of all time appearances for Liverpool.

5 - Jerzy Dudek Save From the 2005 Champions League Final

Liverpool FC Signed Dudek UCL Photo

The framed photograph of Jerzy Dudek’s save during the 2005 Champions League final is a special piece of Liverpool FC memorabilia.

This hand-signed image captures the save that crowned Liverpool as the Champions League winners after defeating AC Milan in Istanbul on May 25th, 2005.

After an intense and dramatic 120-minute match that ended with a score of 3–3, the winner had to be decided during the penalty shootout. It was Dudek’s time to shine and deny AC Milan the coveted title.

Though Dudek had already conceded three goals during the first half, the Reds showed their fighting spirit by mounting an incredible comeback to draw 3–3 in regular time. It was once again Dudek’s chance to show his grit and come through for the Reds.

And he did just that. He made two incredible saves, which ultimately helped Liverpool win the match on penalties.

The photograph itself is a stunning visual representation of the moment, with Jerzy Dudek diving to his right to make the crucial save that secured Liverpool's victory.

The polycore frame molding, 1.2mm styrene, MDF backing, and photographic prints all come together to create a high-quality, long-lasting piece of memorabilia.

At 508 x 406 mm in size, complete with a certificate of authenticity, this framed photograph is the perfect addition to any Liverpool fan's collection. It’s a true collector's item that connects you to the iconic moment when Dudek cemented his place in Liverpool FC’s history books.

Fun Fact? In this Champions League final, both teams missed a penalty. Xabi Alonso missed one in the 59th minute and Serginho missed the first penalty in the shootout.
