I didn't think it at the time, but one of the joys of my life was sitting in the Kemlyn Road stand, watching Liverpool, in the early 80s, during Winter and almost shivering to death! This upload,, especially on some of the shots of the Kemlyn Rd stand, with the floodlights shining through the wintry mist, brings back those painful/ fantastic memories so vividly I felt like putting gloves on, and rolling a programme up into one of my coat pockets, while I was watching it! Top stuff, as ever, Dave!
Great upload, Dave! I’d only ever seen the Liverpool goals before. Clearly this 10 year fell asleep before MOTD came on. (I often did. And no video recorder back then.) What an absolute shocker the pitch was that season. A nightmare for Arthur Riley. I know it was dug up and relaid at the end of that season.
One of our best ever title wins this, from 12th on boxing day to beating spurs 3-1 on the last day, a day that still lives with me even though I lost my silk scarf 😂😂😂😂😂
I didn't say 56,000 fans at Anfield were overtly racist (and that's certainly not what I meant). I meant that some fans were racist and it wasn't challenged. This is before my time going to games, so I can't say first-hand, but I remember reading newspaper match reports that mentioned black players being booed at Anfield, the book "Out of his skin" by Dave Hill says this was commonplace, and I remember an interview with a vicar who used to go on the Kop around this time, saying he had no problem with the bad language but couldn't stand the racism of the crowd (it's from the Liverpool FC BBC Radio Collection - it used to be on youtube, but I can't find it now). Isn't it fair to say that when John Barnes signed there was some concern that the Kop might not take to him because he was black? There was a famous photo of him and Peter Beardsley outside the ground with NF graffiti in the background. More generally in society, racism was more normalised then - you definitely used to get jokes on TV sitcoms that would (rightly in my view) never be allowed now. How are you defining overt racism if you're saying it didn't exist?
"How do you stop a goal like that...?" Very simple answer, Wolves were miles too deep 1 man each, stick with them and no problems so many in the box doing nothing There are about 7 on the edge of the box or deeper. Unnecessary
Another classic from sir Dave..

So true. I was in the kemlyn road many times. Most memorably in December '77 when Liverpool beat Hamburg 6-0. Keegan v Dalglish ... great memories.
Great upload Dave thanks... This was the turning point of that Liverpool era. It started with this win and finished 10 years later.
Thankyou enjoyed all the big names of yesterday
Proper Footy, thanks
Liverpool were and still are truly a force
"Dalglish, oh what a goal!" How often did we hear that back in the day. Liverpool's greatest ever player!

Dalglish was a genius.
Did JM say 26000 attendance the lowest this season?. Or did i hear ot wrong?
Not seen this since airing 40 years ago.
Dalglish legend love from Leicester

No knee-taking,no play acting,no non-traditional kits...just effort and football.
You prefer the overt racism that was normal then to knee-taking? I don't think that says good things about you.
@@DaveWallerLFC there was no overt racism. Do you really think 56,000 fans at anfield were overtly racist?

@@DaveWallerLFC Not to mention the overt homophobia and xenophobia in everyday culture.
Were are they playing mar del Plata Argentina look it up Brazil played there 1978 world cup
Always wolves 🎉❤we can do it come on wolves
No gloves,tights,neck scarfs.

It's poor marking, but I don't think playing a high line against a team with Dalglish and Rush would have been a good idea.
Those awful pitches of the seventies, how could they even control the ball on that "potato field" ;-)
It was the 80’s
the anfield road cabbage patch
talk about playing on a rubbish tip
