All-red strip for final

May 9 2005

By Andy Hunter, Daily Post

LIVERPOOL will wear their famous all-red strip when they face AC Milan in the European Cup Final on May 25.

Officials from the two finalists met in Istanbul last week to iron out arrangements for the showpiece occasion.

Anfield chief executive Rick Parry was determined Liverpool would be allowed to wear their home jersey despite the colour clash with AC Milan.

And his request was granted when Milan chiefs agreed to play in all-white - due to the fact they wore their away strip in their 2003 Champions League final victory over Juventus.
