This is by far the best Liverpool TH-camr out there.

Another home run guys! Never like watching a Liverpool defeat but all important in the development of the modern Liverpool side,

I was at this game & the return. Liverpool had a lot of possession but somehow never really threatened.
Two things stand out to me. Leeds playing out all along the back four and back again as Liverpool pressed hard. So good the whole ground clapped.
Commonplace now but defenders didn’t do that then.
The other thing I remember is the goal. It was at the kop end and from where we were in the anfield road it looked like an OG

Now this new to me..
Bertie Mee and Arsenal outsmarted them both to win the double.

Just before the arrival of Kevin Keegan and Steve Heighway. Keegan in particular transformed the forward line; before that it was a case of lumping the ball into Toshack and hoping for the best.
Now, if Keegan and Heighway were playing who knows what would have happened?

The Inter Cities Fairs Cup was not run by U.E.F.A. furthermore the Inter Cities Fairs Cup stemmed from Trade Fairs in Cities hence its name ... Only one Team could represent a City in that outdated competition. The U.E.F.A. Cup, meaning the Union European Football Association was much better and any team/club could represent a City, so a club was not barred just because another team qualified to play as well.
