My step dad took me to this match - he was a big Leeds fan and I was a big Liverpool fan. Sat in the old stand with the Leeds supporters and went up when both goals hit the back of the net. Remember getting a load of abuse even though I was only 11 years old. Leeds fans burnt a Liverpool scarf in the kop end and when I left the ground I got my Liverpool scarf ripped off me. Still got one photo from the game with some of my heroes on.
Great story and memory that Carl. I was born in Leeds in 1962 and left to live in South Africa in 1982 when i was 20. I recall Elland Road in those days- wasn't for the feintharted if you were an away team supporter 😂
@@DaveWallerLFC Liverpool had finished fifth the season before - their lowest position ever under Paisley. He saw the team needed freshing up and needed to get the hunger back with younger legs - so he got rid of a lot of the players who had been at Liverpool for 8 years or more. Clemence wanted to leave so that was a move forced on Paisley.
I didn't think I'd be spending much time on this (excellent) channel watching uploads of old matches until the ridiculous six week international break that is being imposed on us by FIFA in the middle of this season. Yet here we are.
Watching this era of games makes me realise just what a player Ian Rush was. King Kenny rightly gets a lot of praise but I think Rush maybe gets overlooked because of that. It really annoys me that fans these days seem to think everything is all about the premier league era players, Rush was better than any of them who followed as an old school striker. *Good job I re-read this before I posted it as spell check had it as 'old school stripper'🤣
I just posted similar on another match. Rush from 1982 (the Everton 5 - 0) until 1987 was one of the big names in world football. They had him in a Frankenstein ad as it seemed to be from another planet and lethal everytime he got the ball. 1983/84 especially with 5 against Luton and that hat trick at Villa. He was huge similar to Barnes in 1990. He was regarded as the best forward since WW2 along with Jimmy Greaves. We use sing 'we all agree Rushy is better than Greavsie'. ITV one midweek evening even had a program debating who was better. Reds were in a panic he was leaving and started a Rushy Must Stay campaign. There were anxieties that it really was the end of Liverpool. During 1986/87 I felt the team got lazy and looked for Rush all the time again like Barnes in 1990. I would even say Arsenal breaking that Rush phenomenon of never losing a game when he scored had a huge psychological impact on the team . His Juve spell, his second Liverpool spell and the stunning 1988 team all took the gloss off this first spell.
@@frankmachin5438 I do think he isn't given the praise he deserves mainly because this generation seem to think football began with SKY television in 1992. It's like when people say Liverpool have only won one title, like the other 18 don't exist! Also Kenny rightly gets huge praise which I do think sometimes puts Rush in the background a bit more than he should be. Personally I can't think of anyone as good as him in the past 40 years, but you'll get people making out Shearer, Cole, even Torres were better when they weren't, Rush pressed and chased back like this Klopp era team too. The more of this old footage I watch the more convinced I am there hasn't been anyone to touch him, as an out and out goalscorer anyway. Henry at Arsenal was the best forward in the post 1992 era I have seen but a different type of player.
I’m a Leeds fan. Went to this game as a 12 year old. Waited for autographs outside the west stand players entrance, as I did with all games back then. Every Liverpool player stopped and signed apart from 2….Dalglish and Grobelaar. They just ignored us and walked straight past and got straight on the team bus. I remember Phil neal came in his own car for some reason.
@@KryptonitetoallBS yeah some of the interviews he use give. Smart arse answers. Totally dismissive of journos. Use crack me up. I always remember him saying 'at the end of the season we will add up all the points and the one with the most points will win the league' 🙂
Always felt Liverpool were at their best in the Bob Paisley era. Most underrated manager ever. I think he preferred it that way. Always kept a low profile.
This was the season Leeds went down. They had a good home record and didn't lose many but away form was dreadful. Frank Worthington signed near the end of the season but it wasn't enough to keep us up.
Given that the current Liverpool side need to make ten good chances before scoring a goal and they play high 50's to 64 matches a year, imagine how many goals Rush would score today...
You don't rate *any* of the current team? (The team that has got 90+ points in 3 of the last 4 seasons.) Comparisons between different eras are hard, but this feels a bit harsh. I'd say that you could make a reasonable case that Alisson, Robertson, Matip, Van Dijk and Salah are no worse than their equivalents in the 1982 team, or at least wouldn't look out of place.
Proper mob of Liverpool there...!! As always...! I first went in 79.....I was 14... went with me auld fella and mate.... Liverpool took a proper mob ...and looked boss in the clobber only we we're wearin at the time.....! Took the rest of the so called casual movement a couple of years to catch up....by then we'd moved on again..... Liverpool THE ORIGINAL lads....!!!
True a lot of that ,always said the scousers were the pioneers ,and had the numbers well before anyone else ,i left school in 1979 and and leeds had a mob of about 100 hardcore "lads" (or" casuals" hate that word ) so can date it exactly ,the west ham everton semi final was an eye opener in 1980 where almost every scouser had the sports clobber and every cockney had the mod skinhead donkey jacket gear 🤣🤣
Ah that was fun - Liverpool really had one of their greatest ever football teams in those days - They went on becoming league champions in 1982 with Ipswich Town as runners up and Leeds Utd got relegated - Sammy Lee was much slimmer in those days but when he did put on the extra pounds then we got that funny song - He's fat - He's round - His arse is on the ground - Sammy Lee, Sammy Lee..

I went to the league Cup final 2 weeks later, what a game that was. Fun memories of a glorious past never to be repeated again.
Probably the best singing I have ever heard was at that final.
Amazing how much space players gave each other back then.
What a great team we had then. Whelan, Rush and Johnston were the new faces who shook up the old team. Thanks fir tge great upload
Grobbelaar and Lawrenson were new too. Amazing to change that many players in one go and still win the league.
@@DaveWallerLFC and we can see it all come together on your amazing channel. Invaluable. Can't thank you enough.

Thanks to extremely large bribes
Another great upload.
Thanks for uploading these classic games.
Forgot how good wee Sammy Lee was. Played his role as the token English player really well in that team on several occasions
Gary P …….Sammy and Sounness class acts! If you are a player running, those two will send through a superb pass! Good comment mate!

Souness too. I read somewhere that even Kenny thought Souness was THE man.
I’m 55 lads and NO ONE, and I mean NO ONE overlooked or overlooks Rush or Souness unless they are in their bloody teens

only underrated by a Man U adoring English media...not in Liverpool or on Europe.
The intensity of the game was so much less back then. The players had so much time on the ball.

Can you imagine any of today’s current team getting a game in this team ? Klopp would give his hind teeth for this 11.

In 1979 there, we needed a 1 goal for 84 goals and the Sun (!) 50k bonus. Terry Mac was heard running for the ball shouting 'geronimo'
What !
True a lot of that ,always said the scousers were the pioneers ,and had the numbers well before anyone else ,i left school in 1979 and and leeds had a mob of about 100 hardcore "lads" (or" casuals" hate that word ) so can date it exactly ,the west ham everton semi final was an eye opener in 1980 where almost every scouser had the sports clobber and every cockney had the mod skinhead donkey jacket gear 🤣🤣
As if everton weren't wearing exactly the same gear!
Real football
I had this Leeds strip as young lad - mum wouldn’t let me wear it to bed, but other than the bath i wore it everywhere else.😊
Ah that was fun - Liverpool really had one of their greatest ever football teams in those days - They went on becoming league champions in 1982 with Ipswich Town as runners up and Leeds Utd got relegated - Sammy Lee was much slimmer in those days but when he did put on the extra pounds then we got that funny song - He's fat - He's round - His arse is on the ground - Sammy Lee, Sammy Lee..
How on earth did Jocky not score?
Thought he had until midnight
Similar to a game at Old Trafford when he chose to pass to an offside Dalglish, who I think put it over the bar.
The 2024 Leeds team would have beaten this Leeds team...the Leeds forwards were hopeless, the defenders were worse !
Peter Barnes the biggest waste of money ever, until Pogba.
I'm a city supporter not think Steve Daley should be up there
To all Liverpool fans i upset with my last comment , i apologise
Would you care to explain what you meant?
@@DaveWallerLFC He mentioned something about Hillsbrough
It was just about Alan Hansen but still nonsense
