This was a Time when all Competitions (FA Cup, Charity Shield and League Cup) in England Meant something. Now these competitions have become a nuisance to some clubs in England. Concentrating too much on a Boring Champions League, with the same old Clubs every year!!!!!!
At the moment it is difficult to distinguish Terry Mcdermott and Graeme Souness seen from a distance which have similarities on the mustache and the occasional Jimmy Case. What a legends 🔥
I attended this match as a 14 year old with my youth clubs football manager and a couple of other players. Fond memories. RIP Ray Clemence. A true Liverpool great.
I attended the European championship qualifying , match on a school trip against Denmark that same year and I think ray was in goal for England I think Keegan scored and England won the game.
I was at Wembley for this game, along with my late dad, brother and uncle. What a great day out it was, my first visit to the famous stadium, just thirteen years after England had won the World Cup there.
great upload! some killer comments by John Motson throughout this - 6:35 he refers to Kenny Dalglish as 'Ken Dalglish' - sounds so jarring yet endearing at the same time. I don't ever remember King Kenny being referred to as 'Ken' - was this ever a thing even in the late 70's? 9:45 'Notice that Jennings is wearing gloves, a further sign that there may be a little bit of grease on the surface' 🙂 Bespoke goalie gloves had only really been introduced a few seasons before and were still far from universal, hence Motson pointing out its relative novelty. Terry Mac and Kenny absolutely in their pomp. Also probably the high water mark of the bubble perm in English football 😆
To think the United fans were shouting ''what a waste of money'' to Kenny on his début! Even 43 years later most people know who's being talked about when the name Kenny is used, his surname is seldom needed.
Remember that day well...Liverpool's lads we're right into the clobber by then... Arsenal looked like they we're from another planet...bib and brace and scalves still round there wrists.... Liverpool...THE original's....!!!!
@@randyborstol2491 ye I know few lads who said they started wearing Italian clobber in the summer of 77 after we played in the European cup final in Rome....!

As good as this team was, within a year, we'd be adding Ian Rush and later, the likes of Ronnie Whelan to take us up to another level. Thanks for uploading this. I never got back in time to watch it on Match Of The Day and have never seen these highlights from that day to this.
A great Liverpool team and win 🏆 To put things in context...in the next few months "Porridge" the movie with Ronnie Barker and the recently deceased Richard Beckinsale was about to released and the same year as Gary Numan's "Cars" was in the charts.
Agreed although 74 FA Cup was pretty good . Surprisingly, after this brilliant start to the season, we stuttered a bit with two draws against Bolton and the European defeat but really got into gear in November and December with a brilliant 2-0 Boxing Day win over Man Utd. After that we weren’t at best but did just enough to stay ahead of Man U. We played Arsenal six more times that season and didn’t win any of them with five draws and the agonising cup semi-final defeat all such different games to this one. Thanks for posting Dave.
Just showed the level Liverpool were then.Yes Leeds United had great teams in the early 70s,but lacked the consistency of Liverpool from the mid to late 70s.Leeds United referred to as the team of the 70s,1 championship to 4 for Liverpool and 2 for Derby County.
Thanks very much, Dave, great stuff. I remember seeing the goals at the beginning of the Team Of The Decade video and wondering what the rest of the game was like.
Hansen & O’Leary we’re still playing for their respective teams that night at anfield in May 1989. The changes between 1979-89 seems more like 50 years as opposed to 10. It’s even more incredible that O’Leary was still at arsenal for the first season of the premier league 1992/93 winning the fa cup 14 years after the 79 final.
70s,a far better decade than the 80s.Better kits,bigger and more passionate crowds.80s Shorts up their arses,socks half way down their shins and shirts like advertising boards.Then YANK business boys come in with their corporate crap.
I remember Old Whiskey Nose used to be quite dismissive of Paisley's teams saying that Liverpool only played attractive football after Dalglish took charge . Obviously the silly 🔔🔚 never watched Liverpool that much during Paisley's time . Some of the football played by the Reds was sublime ...
One and only time at Wembley .the heat was too much .15 year old arsenal fan sat on the ground virtually the whole match feeling sick .who’d of thought 45 years later watching it at the end of may, weather overcast feeling sick again , I thought we’d won .
@@talkinghead3169 well i had a wedge haircut and straights and trainees - Arsenal (and the rest of the country) still had long hair and birmos/flares and platform shoes on. Years ahead. On the pitch we were years ahead too.
@@stel3209 After Rome '77 the Kop and its songs (sadly) were binned and lads moved to the Anny. The 1977 Charity Shield saw Adidas make its debut with the lads.
and what a team Tbilsi were a few weeks later. Best away team I have seen at Anfield (well one of the best - but have to say the best as limited footage exists ha)
This was the first of what was to be 70 games Arsenal played that season, ending with a 5-0 thrashing by Middlesbrough after two cup final defeats in 4 days. No team since has played that many top tier games in a season.
3 replays against liverpool in the fa cup semifinal. Was that equaled any time sooner or later. And than beaten in the final against westham. Totally no energy left plus 4 days later final lost against valencia on pens. 🙄🙄🙄
Thank-you Dave. It's so good to see this video. What a magnificent team. So many wonderful players and under the guidance of the QUIET GENIUS Bob Paisley.
Shankley was the heart of Liverpool FC & Paisley the brains. Paisley selected players to buy & tactics, so when Shanks left the ship sailed on without a murmer. There wasn't an uproar within the club, fans shocked but team wise no change. Paisley waited for this chance he deserved & took it & Bill had to clear out & banned from the training ground when he tried to come there, Paisley had to be ruthless. He was Liverpool's greatest manager going back to Shankley's era as well.
It's Shankly, not Shankley. What's your evidence for saying that Paisley selected players to buy when Shankly was in charge? And that there wasn't an uproar when Shankly left? Paisley didn't "wait for this chance". He didn't want to be manager, and only took over reluctantly when asked by the board. Paisley was undoubtedly a great manager, probably the greatest, but you're undervaluing Shankly's contribution. Paisley was there in the backroom staff for several years before Shankly arrived, when Liverpool were in the 2nd division. It needed Shankly to shake everything up, buy players and demand higher standards for the later success to be achieved.

Can't think of another Liverpool player so I assume it's someone who played for Arsenal in both. As I haven't watched either game for a while I'm probably not going to be able to guess that.

And the foreign managers simply dont respect the occasion. Wearing simple suits as in a League match.
The high point of our country. Now we’re heading for something so much worse - it’s not describable. God bless. We’ll never walk alone!
I don't think many Liverpool fans would see a newly elected Thatcher government as any sort of high point.
@@DaveWallerLFC I think he means Joy Division's debut LP
OK, if you say so. I like that album, but not sure if it really represents the high point of the country.

Love also the fact that there was no time wasting and no rolling around feigning injury like they have been shot like today's modern players.

When winning the FA Cup was every boyhood dream……which made the charity shield a great season opener…..
Nice memory here of Ray Kennedy receiving his Goal of the season award 👍

Actually, I think overall this (replacing Johnson with Heighway) was the best Liverpool team ever. The previous season (78/79) was phenominal.
@@Ray-ni7lu makes you wonder how good Tbilsi were. Even at Anfield they were unlucky to lose. The writing was on the wall.
I had not been long married in that year, now looking back, I am 69 years old and the wife 72.

This is great, thank you. I think the teams met around 7 times in 1979/80 season.
A great Liverpool team and win 🏆

Phil Thompson’s Barnett!.. perms were obviously big on Mersey side in the late 70s
What a waste having Steve Highway in the reserves.He was a far superior player to most of team playing.

Great upload as usual, Dave. Brilliant performance from The Reds. Especially Dalglish and McDermott
No shirt sponsors
The uniforms look so plain without all of today’s advertising… Even their last names aren’t on their backs!
And the red of the Liverpool strip is a striking blood red. Not a wishy washy red.
The Liverpool players did not need to have names on their shirts!.

Another great upload, Dave. I had the pleasure of meeting David Johnston and Phil Neal at my Anfield experience day.

Some really dodgy hairdos on show. Phil Thompsons looks like something his granny knitted.
what a knobhead - the rest of the country still had feathered haircuts at that stage - we were at least two years ahead of the rest of the country.
Wow..takes me back..really enjoyed this. Many thanks!
Phil Thompson has got a haystack on his head. Oh, the Liverpool perm & not the football coupons ones. Everton players had perms too.
10 years later the two teams would meet again in the Chatity Shield, only Arsenal would be champions and Liverpool the Cup Winners.

@ZeldaFitz I wonder how the Liverpool players would have felt in 1989 that after 1990 it would take them 30 years for the next title.
