When Liverpool Ruled The World
Peel makes an appearance on the programme describing amongst things how the BBC tried to get tickets for him by mentioning his name, which failed miserably, how he held Bill Shankly's bag at the 1981 European Cup Final between Liverpool and Real Madrid in Paris, France and what his reaction would be for the 2001 UEFA Cup final between Liverpool and Alaves, the day after the programme was broadcast. Interestingly Liverpool won that final 5-4 after Extra time.
