The last time Cardiff City came to Anfield Liverpool were languishing in Division Two and were about to endure a 4-0 beating on their own turf.
It was hardly what you would call a memorable moment.
But although no-one knew it at the time, December 19, 1959, would still prove to be a significant date in Liverpool Football Club’s history.
For while it may well have ended in a disappointing defeat, in terms of our future dominance of the domestic game, the clash with Cardiff was the landmark occasion that saw 27,291 spectators witness Bill Shankly’s very first match as Reds boss.
48 years on and Liverpool have established themselves as the most successful football club in England and our latest meeting with the Bluebirds is once again tinged with poignancy.
It is being billed as the return of one Anfield’s favourite sons in a competition that he made his own during two magnificent spells with the club.
Reds legend Robbie Fowler thought he had probably played his last game for Liverpool back in May, when he bade an emotional farewell in our final Premier League match of the season at home to Charlton Athletic.
But despite dropping into the Championship to boost Cardiff City’s Premier League dream, a twist of fate has seen Fowler and co drawn to face Liverpool in the fourth round of the Carling Cup in front of his adoring public.
While it will be great to welcome Robbie back we must also remember that there’s still a game to be played.
Dave Jones’ men are currently just outside the play-off zone and have a number of players capable of helping the Bluebirds cause a cup shock, with Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink, Trevor Sinclair and Darren Purse all players with Premier League reputations.
For Rafael Benitez it will be another opportunity to give his fringe players a run-out as they look to continue their challenge for trophies on all four fronts.
