With their club in a Wembley final for the first time in 16 years, Liverpool fans are reminded of the 'white suits' FA Cup decider when the Merseyside club lost to an Eric Cantona-inspired Manchester United in 1996.
But there may be more relevance to a less-remembered Wembley showcase the year before.
On that occasion, Liverpool lifted the 1995 League Cup trophy, then known as the Coca-Cola Cup - the same trophy which they are targeting against Cardiff City tomorrow in its guise as the Carling Cup. And like 17 years ago, it was a team from the second tier - the Bolton Wanderers - that Liverpool had to beat. They won 2-1 in a game remembered as Steve McManaman's match because of the two goals scored by the Liverpool midfielder.
'There are definitely some similarities between the 1995 final and this one,' Roy Evans, the Liverpool manager, said. He also took the Reds to Wembley that season and the following year against United when they donned Armani cream suits at the suggestion of goalkeeper David James.
'It's a game that Liverpool will be strong favourites to win, but one they will have to prepare for just the same as if they were playing any of the top teams. They need to treat Cardiff with respect, but not too much respect.'
When Liverpool lifted the Coca-Cola Cup in 1995, it was their first silverware in three years. If they win against Cardiff, it will be their first major trophy since the 2006 FA Cup.
