Ghostly goings-on at Anfield. The secret identity of a Liverpool FC player. And the opponents who fly on broomsticks. It can only be Halloween, but are you brave enough to read on? Muwhahahah......

The Ghost Goal

A noisy Anfield put the frighteners on Chelsea FC in the 2005 UEFA Champions League semi-final with the winning goal scored – or was it scared? – by Liverpool FC's Luis Garcia.

Every football team has a joker in the pack – a player who surprises his team-mates with practical jokes.
