It was a great occasion for the city and the football club at that particular time. I remember the draw and everyone at the football club was excited.
What you've got to remember at that time, Hull City had never played at the highest level of English football and Liverpool were the biggest side in England.
They didn't come much bigger than Liverpool and the FA Cup was still very special.
It was a huge occasion. They were the team to beat under Kenny Dalglish. You could feel the excitement around the whole city and in the end it was a great advert for the game.
I can remember the chairman getting carried away.
I walked into the ground on the morning and there was a big banner up on the far side of the ground that said "Go get them, Rambo!"
I asked what it was all about and they told me it was the chairman that wanted it up.
I had to tell them to take it down. You don't do things like that with Liverpool in town.
The crowd were up for it, right behind the team. It could have gone either way that's for sure.
All I could tell them was to keep playing the way they were playing, hopefully the rewards will follow.
Sadly that never happened but we gave a good account of ourselves. I never took pride in defeat, that's one thing you should never do.
As my old captain Billy Bremner, who was also at Hull City, would say, you get nowt for coming second.
On the day we could've got a result and the disappointing thing was that we never did.
On reflection you can look back and say at least we gave them a game, but the immediate reaction after the game was disappointment. After that our season tailed off.
You can look for excuses and say that was a reason but we weren't good enough to climb the table.
