- After the Watford debacle, Bill Shankly wiped the slate clean at Liverpool. Out went what remained of the sixties team and in came a series of new, younger players.
This had so far been a season of transition, rather than immediate success for these new men, but they had made it as far as the quarter-finals of the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup, where they were to face emerging German side Bayern Munich.
One man who survived the cull was 21 year-old Alun Evans, although he had spent most of the season out injured. This was his first start after returning from injury.

I was there for that match vs Bayern. Thanks for bringing back those memories 👍
5:29 That loss to Watford .... ouch!
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 !
Twentyman and the scouting team were geniuses. R.I.P. Larry Lloyd
@@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.
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.
@@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.
Ai bro what happened to the lens tactic video
Got copyright blocked. It's still on the Patreon.
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.
Why is former French tv presenter Michel Drucker on the screen at 22:34 ?
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.
