Beresford continued: “Because of the Liverpool history of Kevin Keegan and Terry McDermott, there was always a buzz when we went to them and we’d always done okay.
Beresford revealed: “A couple of years later, I bumped into Jamie Redknapp and he said Liverpool were devastated they beat us because they hated Manchester United.
Collymore drew Liverpool level as this thriller looked set to end with honours even — until the former England striker struck a killer blow deep in stoppage time.
To this day, that 4-3 Anfield defeat makes Beresford feel “horrible”, even if it was voted the Premier League’s greatest match.
A pivotal moment in that slump occurred on April 3, 1996 when they went toe-to-toe with Liverpool in a match decided in the final seconds by Stan Collymore.
