A former Liverpool player who was once on the losing side against the Reds in a League Cup final has recalled how that Wembley appearance helped him secure his dream move to Anfield.
Jason McAteer turned out for Bolton Wanderers against Roy Evans' side in the 1995 Coca-Cola Cup final.
The match, which Liverpool would go on to win 2-1 thanks to two goals from Steve McManaman, had been billed as something of a job interview for McAteer after he had enjoyed a successful spell with Wanderers under Bruce Rioch.
