Mr. Holding Midfield, thank you! you and Mr. Dave Waller are the best for my Liverpool experience! started following Liverpool when my elder sister became a fan of Keegan. [to me, T McDermott's volleys are the best strikes.] we rarely had full matches on tv in hong kong in those years, let alone these stories of coaches and footballers. hope Liverpool will always be a team of honored characters on and off the field. [from usa.]
as an evertonian I will never forgive Everton for missing out on Kevin keegan , I watched the tranmere rovers v Scunthorpe United cup replay at goodison and watched Kevin beat rovers practically on his own , in the paper’s next he what a dream to play at such a magnificent stadium in lights . I went back to my local pub the medlock and told my mates Everton have got to sign !!! scunny,s number 10 !!! Jimmy poss Liverpool
What is seldom mentioned is how canny Bill Shankly was spotting a player as a spectator. The January in 1969 was snow bound and an FA Cup 4rth Round game between Everton and Bristol Rovers was moved from a Saturday to midweek because of snow. Liverpool had a game on the Saturday. I was at Goodison for the FA Cup tie with snow piled around the perimeter, which under floodlights looked dramatic. It was reported Bill Shankly was in the Everton directors box, which he often visited. At the time Everton were going really well and faced a difficult task trying to score against a very strong defence from the third division. The two central defenders played brilliantly and kept Everton at bay. Joe Royle got a late goal to win the tie. But Larry Lloyd and Stuart Taylor had marked Joe out of the game. At the time Brian Labone was 29 and though England's first choice would need replacing. Bill Shankly saw enough that night to sign Larry Lloyd some months later. who went on to win titles with Liverpool and Notts Forest. Then in January 1970 Tranmere used Goodison Park for an FA Cup tie v Scunthorpe A player named Kevin Keegan was in the Scunthorpe side that night and may have escaped the attention of the Everton board, but probably not Liverpool who signed him in May 1971 And the rest is history !
@@darganx Probably so, given the talent they recruited. However, back in the late 1960s TV coverage was minimal and Bristol Rovers were a third division team when they faced Everton in 1969. It was well known that Bill Shankly attended mid week games at Goodison when LFC had no games, and the first glimpse of Larry Lloyd was by Bill at Goodison. Anyone around in 1969 will know top clubs had reserve, A and B teams from which they mainly drew the players from for the first team.
That St John and Ray Clemence part I've never seen that before, and the reason why he watched Ray so many times is because, as he said in his autobiography that you don't get a full view of a goalkeeper from one game, you might watch a game they win 5 nil and don't even concede a shot so how can you tell how good a keeper is.
The St John and Clemence part is from a roundtable called Liverpool FC Hall of Fame. It's got Alan Hansen and John Barnes on too so covers several decades. It's on Dave Waller's channel. Definitely worth a watch.
@HoldingMidfield yes I can imagine it is mate, have you heard the tapes of Shankly talking to the guy who wrote his autobiography? It's from about 1976 and is recorded in Shankly's front room, you can hear Nessie come in and ask if they'd like a brew, I do have it on a cd somewhere, it's basically what became his autobiography and it's weird cos I'd listened to the CD countless times then finally read the book during lockdown on my old kindle for 99p and reading it I was hearing it spoken by Bill lol
@@croftstickcroftstick4333 I haven't. I've heard Shankly Speaks and scattered a few clips in throughout the series, but that's recorded in 1981 with Barry Murray and you don't hear Nessie at any point. Just had a quick search and there seems to be something called "The Forgotten Tapes" with his autobiographer John Roberts so I'm guessing that must be it. I'll have to hunt out a copy.
@@billybonds4449Even in the sixties. I'm hoping at some point to do a video specifically on them rather than just in the context of Liverpool but I need to be able to clear my schedule for a while to do so.
The footage of the match is from French TV so every now and again pundits pop up. I've generally tried to edit around it but they didn't use much footage of the Kop so I didn't have much choice in that instance.

I was there for that match vs Bayern. Thanks for bringing back those memories 👍

Twentyman and the scouting team were geniuses. R.I.P. Larry Lloyd

excellent work very well researched, thank you.
5:29 That loss to Watford .... ouch!
that was a real turning point!

@HoldingMidfield ah I have that saved to a playlist actually, I love his channel.
@@croftstickcroftstick4333 Same. It's been incredibly useful to me for research

Unfortunately, another team in all-white was waiting for them in the semi-finals.
This may be examined in further detail in a future episode. 👀
Leeds certainly did have have a great team in the early to mid seventies under Don Revie.

Where was Callaghan this year??
He had a bad injury early in that season. Most probably kept him out for some time.
He missed a big chunk of the season due to a cartilage operation.
As an evertonian I will never forgive Everton after the Scunthorpe v tranmere
Ai bro what happened to the lens tactic video
Got copyright blocked. It's still on the Patreon.
Why is former French tv presenter Michel Drucker on the screen at 22:34 ?

I was there what a performance up there with the best yet hardly mentioned now
