I was at this match..my mum took me for my 11th birthday......thrilling for me at the time, a massive adventure travelling from Lancaster to see this as a football mad kid
Remember this game. I was in the paddock enclosure. Cannot believe it was nearly 41 years ago. It was just a few weeks before the European Cup Final and it was one of our last home matches before we retained the title in the last match at home to West Ham on May 14th 1977. Great memories
The paddock enclosure was just in front of the main stand and was much more calm than the Kop or Anfield Road ends. It was a safer place to stand with the kids.
@Paul Morris That is what it was called ! There was a sign near the old car park which said "paddock enclosure ". I had been going there since 1964. How many times have you been to Anfield ? Idiotic imbecile !!
Keegan was Liverpool"s greatest number 7 in my opinion. His heading ability and ability to score goals, his touch, control endless running a great passer of the ball, and a team player to the last. Keegan .... what a player he took Liverpool to the next level.
@@nolls14 Er are you sure? Already more likes than dislikes to my comment. I'm clearly not the only one who had this opinion. I have always thought that the greatest achievement was being among those who first achieved dominance rather than those who came in to continue an already dominant side.
@@northernenglander1916 I fully respect your opinion NE , and KK was great for Liverpool and a great player. However Kenny had even more of an influence on the team generally than Keegan ever had, hit the ground running and overall was a better footballer than Keegan. That's not to take anything away from Kevin, but he was just not as gifted as Dalglish. If you asked 9 out of ten old school reds, I'm sure they'd agree..Just my opinion anyway ;)
@@nolls14 I think it is the other way round. Keegan was the better footballer but Dalgleish had great touch and subtle play particularly towards the end of his career
Is it just me, or did supporters have more bravado, a better sense of humour, where the chants and songs they sang from the stands had more depth back then? Perhaps it's cos they weren't stuffing their faces with pizza, checking their mobile phone or trying to lay a last minute online bet? I can remember when it was having a couple of drinks, grabbing a souvenir badge plus matchday programme and two hours of complete immersion into an atmosphere you would only experience at a good rock gig
Won the Div 1 Championship with that remarkable Villa 80-81 side. Unlucky to be injured V Bayern in Rotterdam a year after. Still spawned the career of Nigel Spunk, who played out of his skin in the European Cup Final of 82
When football was football, I hate what it's become now. One of my favourite players of all time was Liam Brady, skillful, cool and deserved much more recognition than he got.
He was amazing. Time after time it would look like he was about to lose the ball, but a fraction of a second before that happened he'd pass the ball to another Arsenal player. He had real delicate skill and great vision.
Fantastic game for Keegan. I’m with the Keegan > Dalgliesh people here, but only by a whisker. Having just watched Kenny’s goal against Man United in the first FA cup semi in 1979...go and watch it! it’s like prime Van Nistelruuy, but he managed it on a pitch of pure mud (Maine road in the first match). Incredible
Liverpool des années 70 une equipe de rêve Le football pratiquait pendant ces années Étaient certes moins esthétique sué maintenant mais tellement authentique De l engagement de l envie ..... Enfin le football .....
Belle partie des deux gardiens. Rimmer était très bon, étrange qu'il ait été remplacé par Jennings C'est l'équipe d'Arsenal que je préfère. Plaisir de voir évoluer un excellent attaquant anglais, méconnu en france : Malcom Mac Donald
Back in the seventies, a lot of people still had black and white televisions so if Arsenal wore blue shorts, they'd appear dark grey on tv - as would Liverpool's. There would've been a mild kit clash.
@Eamon Stafford By April 16th 1977 the date of this Arsenal game Liverpool had lost 8 away games in the 1st division ☹️. Even though they were many good teams in England at that time, that counts as bad away results,though bad results does not prove bad performances. I was born in 1971 and have been a lifelong Liverpool fan. YNWA ⚽🇮🇪☘️.
@@matthewrichards9658 There is a tradition of playing games on Good Friday. But not in this case. Liverpool met Everton in the FA Cup Semi-Final on 23 April.
it'll probably be quite unpopular with the supporters, but for me keegan over dalglish all day long. talking about speed, work rate & finishing as well.
Dalglish had good passing ability great attacking position awareness he’s also the reason Liverpool have won lots of European Trophies ....I won’t choose any over each other for me there the 2 best Number 7 we had in the club two players with different playing style can’t compare Them
The date of this match is wrong. April 22nd 1977 was a Friday. On Saturday April 23rd 1977 Liverpool played Everton in the semi final of the F.A Cup at Maine Rd. It was 2-2 and then we beat them 3-0 in the replay, also at Maine Rd on the following Wednesday April 27th.There is no way they could have played Arsenal on April 22nd and then played an F.A. Cup semi final against Everton on the 23rd ! The only Friday night game at Anfield that I remember from the 70s and 80s was May 26th 1989, when Arsenal beat us in the last match of the season to win the title.
Arsenal weren't challengers in that period but with big name signings like Alan Ball and Supermac they didnt lack ambition. It just never really came together. Keeping Ray Kennedy would have helped.
Still could if clubs wanted. Nothing in rules to say they couldn't. England goalkeepers wore separate kit in 70s onwards. Nothing more now than a means to sell more kit.
Liverpool had a marvelous home record this season but a dreadful away record winning only five all by an odd goal and scoring more than once only once all season it was their home form that pushed them towards the treble and probably because of their bad away form didn't fully deserve it and probably the reason they slipped up at wembley
If that is the case then how on earth did they win the European Cup against Gladbach then. They lost the FA Cup Final through a miskick that took a deflection. That has to be considered unlucky rather than their poor away form. It was a very long season filled with injuries to key players and one must remember that Liverpool did not have a big squad in those days. Under those circumstances the season has to be considered a terrific success
Just saying their away form was dreadful check the records had the FA cup final been played at Anfield we would have been the first to win the treble not the Manks whose home AND away form in 1998-99 was excellant you cannot rely completely on your home form yes we beat Borussia but it was a neutral venue for them too and it was 50/50 who would win just like at Wembley
I don't agree that their poor away form had anything to do with them not winning the FA Cup or the treble. If it was because of poor away form how on hell did they manage to win the Lergue then. How did they get to the FA Cup final or the European Cup Final - not all games were at home. The FA Cup winner scored by Manure was a fluke winner by Lou Macari which deflected off Jimmy Greenhoff and bounced into the net before Phil Neal could kick it away that did it. If they were poor away from home then please explain how they beat Gladbach in Rome. Was it because of Divine intervention because they saw the Pope dressed in red. The European Cup was close until Tommy Smith headed in that corner. Yes Rainer Bonhoff hit the post with one shot for Gladbach but Liverpool were close on other occasions as well and I like Gladbach as a team.
Look you can't hide the facts our away form in the league was crap like that of a relegation team not one who is chasing a treble so our side was not set up to win away from Anfield we would and should have beaten United but our AWAY from Anfield form was crap
But you are saying in your earlier statements that the poor away form probably cost Liverpool the FA Cup. I am saying that that is a load of Bovine Scatology. If Liverpool's poor away form did cost them then they would never have won the League, The European Cup or even got to the final of the FA Cup. You are just trying to erode their achievements which I think is wrong...for a Liverpool supporter. Stop trying to find fault where there is very little. They were a great side that year and let that be the end of it. Game over!
Neal rarely scored from open play, but still managed to pop up when it mattered, as did his counterpart Alan Kennedy a year or two after who replaced Joey Jones
From about 1965-67, teams were allowed to make one substitution if a player was injured. From '67, it could be for tactical reasons too. In 1987 they were allowed 2 subs. In 94, they could have up to 3 substitutions if one of them was the keeper. From 1995-96 it has been any three players.

I like that vintage style. Real football. Unique shirts and classical environment.

Ervine Okuboh what's the paddock enclosure
maybe he means the terrace in front of old mainstand?
@Paul Morris are you getting anger management now?

@@northernenglander1916 I agree with that point.
And David O'Leary was still there in May 1989 when we won the league. His final game being the 1993 fa cup final,incredible career.
I couldn't believe it. I saw the defender and thought it looked like David O'Leary, but then thought nah, it's 1977.
Robert C Lynch O’Leary holds record for most appearances for any Arsenal player, he played from 1975 to 1993.
Played a few games for Leeds afterwards before hanging up his boots for good.
Football played with such honesty, verve and lots of skill.

One of many great Liverpool sides of the 60s,70s and 80s. And now Champions of the World.
A pleasure to watch them in this game.A very good side.

Remember him as a youngster training with Arsenal at London Colney. He had a wand of a left foot even then.
totally natural player
I'd have picked Zico over Brady. Every day of the week.
My word, there was some talent on that pitch. On both sides.
Emelyn
(RIP) was a great player. Smith tough as nails. My favourite player was Case.
He is why I'm a LFC supporter
@@iandawson3171 looking forward to tonight. Reminds me of our Euro Cup finals from the 70s and 80s. Such good days.
Thank you.... great game and great coverage.
When football was played by real men.
Thanks for yet another upload, gr8.
Every time Arsenal rocked up to Liverpool they always gave us a game
Everything was much better than now...
Rosy glow of nostalgia
It is a world which has gone forever

Great and passionate football, great lads
Clemence>Shilton in many ways...
Liverpool sub Alan Waddle is Chris' cousin....
that handball at 11:45 was pretty deliberate
This was not long after Ball left for Southampton, to be replaced by Hudson…

unusual for afc to have white shorts instead of blue with yellow shirt and socks
I thought that.
Back in the seventies, a lot of people still had black and white televisions so if Arsenal wore blue shorts, they'd appear dark grey on tv - as would Liverpool's. There would've been a mild kit clash.
Wore them at The Dell a decade or so later with the Bruised Banana top.
I remember pictures of Ian Wright in the kit with white shorts.
Wore it at spurs only time wr never played in red there in the mid eighties i think
Keegan -Case,what a marvel

You're right . The game was on 16/04/1977
According to the 1976-77 page it is the case: www.lfchistory.net/SeasonArchive/Games/18
If this game had really been played on 22 April, that would make it a Friday kick-off.

Back when goalies used hands, not fancy synthetic gloves.
They also were able to have the same shorts/socks as their team mates.
Still could if clubs wanted. Nothing in rules to say they couldn't. England goalkeepers wore separate kit in 70s onwards. Nothing more now than a means to sell more kit.
It was 16/7/77 not the 24th ...it actually says it on the video at one or two points
