One player I would have loved to have seen but before my time was Peter Thompson, you couldn't get the ball off him!
Another in a long list of LFC players cruelly underused by England, specifically Ramsey as he hated wingers smh
Love your analysis on these games, a magical time that's not commonly referenced as this was the era just before the advent of colour. Great work!!

Awesome video! Greenwood is a strange one but he could have achieved much more if he sadly wasn’t too nice

I wonder why pitches were so poor back then. We used to play in the mud like that at school with worn-out leather footballs that soaked up water, making them heavier still.
