Liverpool, who had won the competition three times, were appearing in their fifth semi-final, while it was Dinamo Bucharest's first and only appearance at this stage of the competition. The other semi-final in the competition that year was contested between Dundee United and Roma. Liverpool won the tie 3–1 on aggregate, and went on to be crowned European champions after beating Roma in the final. The tie has been described as one of Liverpool's "finest hours", in the face of "bitterly effective opposition" from Dinamo.A number of Liverpool players who played in the games have since written at length about the physical aspects of the tie; in his 2009 autobiography Ian Rush wrote, "our games against Dinamo were the most brutal of my entire career", while in his autobiography Kenny Dalglish wrote, "I can honestly say that I have never been in such a war zone as this confrontation with Dinamo Bucharest".The tie consisted of two legs – the first held at Anfield in Liverpool on 11 April 1984, and the second two weeks later at 23 August Stadium in Bucharest. The matches are remembered for their highly physical and confrontational nature, which climaxed in the Liverpool player Graeme Souness being subjected to repeated severe abuse and intimidation before and during the second leg, after he had punched the Bucharest captain Lică Movilă in the first match at Anfield, causing the Romanian to "go down like a bag of spanners". Souness withstood the various forms of intimidation, however, and was given the man-of-the-match award in Bucharest. In 2010 The Times wrote, "Souness is still remembered in the Romanian capital for a display of incredible grit and fortitude in the face of naked hostility from the players of Dynamo Bucharest, who were hell-bent on exacting revenge on the Scotsman for an uppercut that broke their own captain's jaw".In 1991 Peter Kilfoyle, the Member of Parliament for Liverpool Walton, commended Souness's actions during the away leg in Bucharest and recommended that he be awarded a George Cross."@en }
