Proper football, played by proper footballers not clueless posers. Great game, thanks for sharing and that's from an old Liverpool fan. (Well done Arsenal)
Warrior Ant I’m a spurs fan , and obviously can’t stand arsenal or Liverpool . But I too can appreciate real footballl and back in the day could also admire players like this from other clubs , Alan Ball for example, what a player.
I remember this game. The press highlighted the fact that motd highlights missed most of Arsenal's attacking play. The Sun headline on Monday...'So much magic slips past the beeb.' Don't ask me why I remember stuff like that. Match report by Peter Batt. I was a paper boy so I spose I just read 'em instead of delivering 'em! COYG
I remember this game so well,typical backs to wall performance from The Arsenal, we should have won the league this season but draws against so called weaker teams, and Liverpool took the title then followed years of doldrums for Arsenal
@@ky9319 my quick view is the usual Arsenal failure to invest in a winning team... the change of style maybe ..that year we played more open, attacking football that the double team. Our defence suffered as a result.
I was just talking to my son about this game last week,got shoved into the kop with my brother,I was 20 he 14 kept tight lipped and made it back to the station after the game what a great performance from afc distant memories always the best coyg
As mentioned on another Radford clip.........England could do with John Radford in 2013!! Mind you we had plenty of decent forwards then yet failed to make it to the 1974 and 1978 World Cup?? Still baffles me that. Good memories Raddy!! I still think there is a place for a big No.9 even in todays more intricate football played on carpets?? Hey Raddy, get in that Tardis please. Chris
Radford aged quicker than any player I ever saw. When he was young he was hot and classy. By the time he was Ibrahimovic's age playing non league football.
Arsenal beating Liverpool to go top. Crazy days. 😀 Funny that Ball gets mentioned as having his best game ever for Arsenal yet apart from the penalty he is hardly featured in these highlights. If I had to pick an Arsenal player based on this it would be Wilson or Radford.
Pourquoi john Radford ne jouait il pas avec l'équipe d'angleterre alors qu'elle n'avait plus d'avance centre . Peut être qu'avec lui, elle aurait joué la coupe du monde 1974
Liverpool: Clemence Llyod Hall Smith Lindsay Lawler Hughes Callaghan Boersma Keegan Toshack Don't know about Arsenal mate. Great to see Ray Kennedy, what a player he was for both clubs. RIP Ray.
i was there never forget this game we went top god the liverpool supporters were livid when alan ball took the penalty the cop through everything at him coins bottles he kept calm and scored
Teams always used to have a recognisable away strip like arsenal now they wear any colours even if there's no colour clash normally all black why did man utd have to wear poxy black shorts in 2 fa cup finals running ?
Greed is not new. In football or anywhere else. Alan Ball used to leave his payslip ling around just to show the others he was paid more...ask Bob Wilson.
fucking hell, this is what footie should be.... managers smoking in the dug-outs, players without sponsors' logos, mud all over the place, balls which don't swerve more than a foot, fans that make tidal waves, results coming in via a videoprinter, strikers with mutton chops, goalies in green.... England winning th ahhhh.....never mind
All I can say like many others real football real passion no bs ,nothing against modern footballers but if I had a choice today or then I would definitely go back to old football when workers could relate to a footballer as one of there own..love watching all the old games
I think this was the game that Phil Thompson was dropped for, and went to see Shanks the next day to ask why he'd been dropped. Shanks said "what? you should be thanking me for not making you play with that shower of shite, they're rubbish, they're all past it! you're the future son, you'll captain Liverpool and England someday". Thommo left the office feeling like a million dollars all pleased with himself. Haha, what a legend Shanks was.
I remember this match - the best match Arsenal played that season, they really should have won the league. John Radford-such a great servant for the club.
Players who rode tackles rather than leaving their feet in to get free kicks. Managers who sat on the bench rather than prancing up and down the touchline screaming at the referee. Footballers who could control the ball rather than just being super big and super fit. Football when it mattered.
Every single player back then was good I can reel the names off with no problems. I was Highbury for the return which I think ended 0-0 but Liverpool was the better side that day and Toshack hit the bar I went home feeling happy we escaped with a point.
Can you imagine a more apt person to score that penalty? Fantastic Radford goal. I always thought that (apart from Storey Kennedy and Ball), Arsenal's English players never got the recognition or the caps that they deserved: George, Armstrong, Simpson and Radford
Clemence did save a penalty in 1973 UEFA cup final against Borrusia Monchengladbach. Not sure what his record is in terms of penalty saves in the old English First Division.
Keepers seem to save penalties more often today than in the 70s. Maybe it's cos you get far more penalty shoot outs than back in the day and keepers practice it more and they get more experience too.
I think that players like Radford were tossed to the wayside because of Sir Alf's over- insistence on the '66 players made it difficult for others to break in. Yet when that time came to bleed new talent it was too late. Despite the likes of Keegan, Francis etc. coming into vogue, it was a rough transitional period.
England 1966 has three World Class players: Charlton, Moore and Banks. Others international class at best. By not having to qualify they had four years of resting on laurels and becoming too old and complacent. Even Charlton (at 32) was an old man come Mexico and couldn't do the full 90.
Look at the state of the pitch. It is a quagmire !! I do enjoy 1970s football. But more work was needed to improve the pitches. That is one of the advantages of modern football. Imagine the best of the 1970s players on better quality pitches ??? That would have been a great combination.
Now this is how football use to be played packed to the rafters and playing on chocolate pudding pitches
I was there! Very young at the time and all I remember is Radford scoring his breakaway goal. Brilliant!
@jwgeezer you're a prick
@jwgeezer your a fuckin wanker ye bellend
I was there too .. 11 years old at my very first game
Exactly this is the time I loved Football. Cheap Tickets, normal Players without Tattoos. Only this time I was really a big Fan !!!!!

Loving the pitch, smell it from here.Good to see diving going on even then for the penno !
That was shocking.
look at that mud. you don't get mud like that any more. today's mud is really pretentious and wimpy.
My first ever arsenal game, aged 10
I remember this game so well,typical backs to wall performance from The Arsenal, we should have won the league this season but draws against so called weaker teams, and Liverpool took the title then followed years of doldrums for Arsenal
Clemence was truly great....
Great game, one of John Radford's finest for Arsenal!
Ray Kennedy is still with us!
He went the following season. £200,000 WELL SPENT by Liverpool.
I must have been at the game, but I don't recall anything about it. I must have gone into denial! Looked like a cracking game.
Gunners should have won title this season !!! Trouble is Liverpool we’re quality then !!! 70s 80s 90s as well
So right Tommy. But that season we were slightly the better side.
@@llwyde1104 How did we not win the league that year?

When I look a Arsenal now, ye gods
Arsenal beating Liverpool to go top. Crazy days. 😀 Funny that Ball gets mentioned as having his best game ever for Arsenal yet apart from the penalty he is hardly featured in these highlights. If I had to pick an Arsenal player based on this it would be Wilson or Radford.
Derby won the previous season-Liverpool won that year with Arsenal in second.
Might be wrong, but think Arsenal didn't beat Liverpool at Anfield again until that famous win that clinched title in 1989.
Arsenal actually had a good record at Liverpool this was followed, a 0-1,1-3 , 2-2 all at Anfield
Pourquoi john Radford ne jouait il pas avec l'équipe d'angleterre alors
qu'elle n'avait plus d'avance centre .
Peut être qu'avec lui, elle aurait joué la coupe du monde 1974
Can someone put the formations or lineups, please?
Bob WIlson in goal before he became a commentor.
Liverpool:
Clemence

Hall
Smith
Lindsay
Lawler
Hughes
Callaghan

Keegan
Toshack
Don't know about Arsenal mate. Great to see Ray Kennedy, what a player he was for both clubs. RIP Ray.
He's still alive......
Yes Ray Kennedy developed Parkinson's at an early age but he's still with us - thankfully
i was there never forget this game we went top god the liverpool supporters were livid when alan ball took the penalty the cop through everything at him coins bottles he kept calm and scored
the other Arsenal players: 5 Jeff Blockley, 6 Peter Simpson .... 10, Ray Kennedy, 11 Eddie Kelly
Eddie Kelly was there somewhere; wasn't Ray Kennedy No.10?
Teams always used to have a recognisable away strip like arsenal now they wear any colours even if there's no colour clash normally all black why did man utd have to wear poxy black shorts in 2 fa cup finals running ?
Ray... 5 times better than Alison...AGAINST MODERN FOOTBALL!!!
Ioannis Kostoulas ,Shes not that bad is she ?
Definitely a dive.
Fuck

Love the old pitches - proper mud baths! The quality of football on these surfaces was amazing.
In the days before football died...
Killed by GREED!!
Greed is not new. In football or anywhere else. Alan Ball used to leave his payslip ling around just to show the others he was paid more...ask Bob Wilson.
Look at the state of the pitch! Did they have tank battle as the curtain raiser?
so evocative, a muddy pitch , Radford scoring in front of a stunned kop and david Colemans unbeatable voice SUPERB.
fucking hell, this is what footie should be.... managers smoking in the dug-outs, players without sponsors' logos, mud all over the place, balls which don't swerve more than a foot, fans that make tidal waves, results coming in via a videoprinter, strikers with mutton chops, goalies in green....

ahhhh.....never mind
Oh yeah, the ball was so much heavier... And 2 sizes bigger - number 7.
And no knobhead VAR!

Liverpool deserved to win it
Wasn't Derby the winner?
@@hansnielsen5236 No, that was the season before.
@@sib1930 Certainly did. I was at this game I thought we had blown the league. No worries though, we also won Shank's first European trophy as well.
@@hansnielsen5236 LFC lost this battle but won the WAR. Campione Liverpool 1973.
'72/'73 seems like '98/'99 season - should have won the league
Big Raddy,great player
Arsenal's next win at Anfield came 16 years later in 1989 remember that one sadly I still do
+Giraffe Man a rare friday night game
best game of my life
the next win cam the very next season in 1974, but THAT was the last one for 15 years
I think it was the best moment in all football ever. But Liverpool were dignified, and there was some applause as well.
Players who rode tackles rather than leaving their feet in to get free kicks. Managers who sat on the bench rather than prancing up and down the touchline screaming at the referee. Footballers who could control the ball rather than just being super big and super fit. Football when it mattered.
Nailed it. And none of this 'winning' a foul or penalty bollocks.
Every single player back then was good I can reel the names off with no problems. I was Highbury for the return which I think ended 0-0 but Liverpool was the better side that day and Toshack hit the bar I went home feeling happy we escaped with a point.
it baffles me how we have never won another world cup with the talent that this country has produced! !!!
Simply , It was football for enjoyment !
Can you imagine a more apt person to score that penalty? Fantastic Radford goal. I always thought that (apart from Storey Kennedy and Ball), Arsenal's English players never got the recognition or the caps that they deserved: George, Armstrong, Simpson and Radford
Alan Ball, England’s greatest ever midfielder?
Play Loose great player Bally but for me it was Tony Currie..he should have gone on and won many many caps for England
And arguably his best years were with Everton, where he won the League Championship medal in 1969-1970 season.
Not better than Gerrrard, mcdermott, Lee
@@sib1930 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
That pitch. Absolutely beautiful.
Arsenal's last win at anfield until that night in 1989
I am still haunted by that match. We only had to lose 1-0. It's up for grabs now and so it proved.
Bob Wilson, Anchor Man?
Rick Parker yes, same guy.
Liverpool. Clemence, Lawler, Lindsay, Smith, Lloyd, Hughes, Keegan, Hall, Boersma, Toshack, Callaghan.
Today's Premier League player cannot play on such a pitch. Thanks for the upload
Great days
True British football my days Keegan and ball become great friends down the road later in careers
I think they were both in the same Southampton team, weren't they?
What a goal
Shocking slide tackle from Ray Clemence...
Proper football with proper players, the modern players would have cried off if they saw that pitch !
I don't think Ray Clemence ever saved a penalty in a league game throughout his entire career.
myroseaccount Good point that had never occurred to me and I've got a good memory of the Clemence era
Clemence did save a penalty in 1973 UEFA cup final against Borrusia Monchengladbach. Not sure what his record is in terms of penalty saves in the old English First Division.
Keepers seem to save penalties more often today than in the 70s. Maybe it's cos you get far more penalty shoot outs than back in the day and keepers practice it more and they get more experience too.
Limedick Andrew , I believe Paul Cooper was the penalty king of goalkeepers!
I remember Ray Clemence saved a penalty at Dynamo Dresden, result:0-0.
First arsenal game I saw radford hat trick 3 round replay. 1967.
Wow, how they could play in that pitch. And they play well
I think that players like Radford were tossed to the wayside because of Sir Alf's over- insistence on the '66 players made it difficult for others to break in.

You are right... in particular Ball & Peters.
@@peterh1353 Surely " international class " is good enough to be playing in international matches?!
@@peterh1353 Roger Hunt not exist?
proper men playing football all mud and no falling over Not like todays football
Guardiola would have an egg now if the pitches looked like that.
How quiet do Liverpool go when they've no chance of winning.
You only sing when your winning.
Look at the state of the pitch. It is a quagmire !! I do enjoy 1970s football. But more work was needed to improve the pitches.
That is one of the advantages of modern football.
Imagine the best of the 1970s players on better quality pitches ???
That would have been a great combination.
