[@eliottsantos2654]

This is absolutely priceless. Congratulations and thanks for the download. Well done sir.

[@peterturley1331]

You can see why Liverpool Football Club were, and still are, so successful.

[@poutsa1974]

Truly special footage here. Thank you

What a team of men to have in charge, Shankly, Paisley,Fagan and Melia, and what wonderful teams they produced.
Bill Shankly had that aura, a no messing individual who knew his game and what he wanted.

Jimmy exceptional mate. Loved it cheers and subscribed 👊

[@lastschicker]

[@mikedavies9953]

Wow Shankly what a figure

[@JfK--OBJECTivE]

Singleton and Johnston played for Liverpool in the FA Youth Final. Joyce played a few games for Motherwell none sustained a professional career in football.

[@edmundpower1250]

Great documentary. It was a tough life for those young men indeed

[@lastschicker]

The game shown at the beginning and end is liverpool v arsenal from november 71 when pool won 3-2

[@hiramhackenbacker9096]

As a teenager I was coached by an ex Spurs apprentice. Sacked by Spurs because he liked the booze too much he told me but he also said he realised he wasn't going to be good enough before that.
You could see what he learnt though. He could head a ball farther than any of us could kick it.
He was a bit of a lost soul. No qualifications, drank way too much and had a mean side to him that drew complaints from parents. Eventually he got sacked by the junior club because he upset too many people.
I wonder what happened to him. Sad.

Memories of the kop..and some great men👍

[@lennylaa1686]

@ 10-00...the apprentices start a match at Anfield at home to Blackburn Rovers
but immediately cuts to a lovely pass with the outside of the right foot from the
visiting midfield player which splits the defence. Bbut what a cracking strike to beat
the keeper, very unusually at that time by a black player. What was his name?
He looked the real deal. //////////////////////se.

[@kevinhoughton9134]

Loved those days, youth team, reserves then the 1st team. It's academy now from 8 years old, it's gone backwards for me, kids should play at a local level until they're at least 14.

10:14 _When a goal is scored the Kop doesn't exactly erupt_
Ummmm, that was a goal for the away side that look to be Blackburn Rovers. The only time that the crowd might have cheered a Blackburn goal would be 14th May 1995 when Alan Shearer put them 1-0 ahead.

[@davebrowne4694]

I was at Blackburn when that game was played

[@swaldron5558]

Sadly they couldn’t make it to full team.

[@mikesmith2057]

2:23 who can tell me the makes and models of the cars that the professionals drive? How flashy were those for the time? I've got no concept of British cars of that time except the MGB GT(spotted), the Mini and the XKE. How rich did you have to be to drive a Jag or a Rolls Royce?

[@LordFlashheart.11]

Steve Heighway and John Toshack were driving Ford Capri Mk1's. Great cars especially the V6 engined ones. I have a 1979 MK3 Capri. European answer to the American Ford Mustang

I have a interesting Business Inquiry for you, how can I contact you?

[@malcolmmawer4367]

The famous Bob Johnston "Fodder" ???

[@mrrjohnston9395]

You do not know me, so don't make assumptions! I have had a successful teaching career and also played at a high non league level. I am still playing 5 a side (can you work out the maths to estimate my age?) and still enjoying it.

[@lennylaa1686]

Not sure what you meant by ''fodder'', maybe something to do with most
of these lads not making the grade.
I assume Bob, that you probably played a couple of seasons in the Central League but never got a first team game? Maybe not getting another chance in the lower
leagues before switching to non-league.
I'd be interested to know Bob if you played in that apprentices match at Anfield shown here. If so, do you know the names of their goal scorer, the black lad and
also the one who fed him that brilliant pass. Long time ago, I know! //a

[@paulmcallister8948]

@lennylaa1686 I doubt that's the same Johnston who is in the documentary!

[@lennylaa1686]

@@paulmcallister8948 Thanks paul, it's a bit confusing looking now at the previous conversation.

[@lennylaa1686]

Signing that contract he seemed dumbstruck and star struck both at the same
time, maybe he felt kt awkward with the TV cameras there.
