In this deeply evocative episode of Jumpers For Goalposts, the late Jan Gorski-Mescir – known affectionately as Fydsy – chronicles Liverpool Football Club's unforgettable 1964–65 season. From the euphoric high of their first-ever FA Cup win at Wembley, immortalised by Gerry Byrne’s legendary courage through injury, to the heartbreaking injustice of their European Cup semi-final against Inter Milan, this is a tale of triumph, betrayal, and resilience.
Jan masterfully interweaves matchday drama with cultural context: the Beatles’ meteoric rise, Liverpool’s moment in the global spotlight, and the social upheavals reshaping the city. With richly researched detail and Fydsy's unmistakable storytelling voice, this episode pays homage not only to a defining moment in club history – but to the man who told it so well.

In this evocative second episode of Jumpers For Goalposts, the late Jan Gorski-Mescir ("Fydsy") takes us on a rich, historical journey through the pivotal 1961–63 seasons that set the stage for Liverpool Football Club’s modern era. Through vivid narration, Fydsy chronicles the emergence of Shankly’s vision, the transformative signings of Yates and Hunt, the culture of the boot room, and the growing spiritual bond between club, city, and supporters.
We hear tales of triumphant promotion, Anfield’s growing mystique, and the hard-learned lessons of re-entry into top-flight football. Beyond football, the episode beautifully weaves in the cultural and global context — from icy British winters to the looming threat of nuclear war.
A heartfelt tribute to the making of a Liverpool legacy — and a stirring reminder of Jan’s storytelling brilliance.
