I was 16 years old and that saturday afternoon was one of the best of my life as a football fan… If there ever was a game I would have like to watch at the old Wembley this was it. Fortunitly there was TV...
I was 11 the FA Cup final was a huge event it was like a world cup final once a year, everyone and everything stopped. Such great days, unfortunately the first FA Cup final I went too was 1988 😡
I live in Sweden, but am visiting Liverpool to see Liverpool vs Southampton tomorrow. Just bought Liverpool’s 1985-86 retro kit in an official store. Can’t wait to visit Anfield for the first time!
Yeah I remember that, they loved shots like that back then, shots like when the ball went into the camera etc, can't remember who it was but remember when the ball went into the ) bit in the goal net in one match, they kept showing that...
we watched this game on holiday in a bar called alcatraz in calella,spain, half reds half blues and just before linekers goal the TV switched and we got the tour de france for about 10 mins when the match finally came back on we were 1-0 down and the blue fans went crazy, credit due though at the final whistle both supporters were singing together, i was 10, with mum,dad and sisters, sun was shining everyone tears of joy 1986 will forever be dear to me, i miss you mum xxx
I was at this final. Quite a few of us Reds in the Everton end that day. All happy and jovial when Everton were leading. Once we equalised and subsequently scored two more a few Toffees started a bit of trouble. In my opinion this was probably the game where the traditional mixing of the fans first went out the window for the Merseyside Derby. Only a very, very small minority of Everton fans I stress were angry at losing the game and vented their frustration at those Reds present in the Everton end. Last lot of years the Merseyside Derby has lost all it's "friendly derby" reputation and it is very rare to see fans mix together now! Sad, but a sign of the times
I had a Kop season ticket - that only cost £67.00 and my dad and I hadn't missed a home game since 1978. However, only one of our season tickets qualified for a cup final ticket and I was devastated not to be going. Then, on the night before the final, my uncle turned up with two final tickets that he'd obtained while doing a job for former LFC player - Geoff Strong. The tickets cost £6.00 each and the Wembley-special train down to Wembley cost £8.00 each. The train was packed with both sets of fans and the atmosphere was magic. I'll always remember an Evertonian guy with a ghetto-blaster playing 'it's a kind of magic' by Queen - over and over again.
Things that are hard to believe: An All-Merseyside Cup Final. A player-manager winning the Cup. Neville Southall not in goal for Everton (injury). That young guy with hair is Peter Reid. Mark Lawrenson, Alan Hansen and Gary Lineker are playing instead of talking bollocks on TV and Twitter. That blue balloon was allowed to stay on the pitch for so long. John Motson getting through a broadcast without saying, "Oh, dear me" or, "Goodness, me."
i think he agreed going to Juventus to play alongside Michel Platini who is a good passer from midfield. but Platini retired just before Ian was due to join Juventus and he was starved of the passes from midfield.
Fantastic game : Liverpool was an incredible team but Everton was another great team. Excellent players and real English football atmosphere. I watched on tv in Italy (i was 19);wonderful memories of an old Liverpool fan
I wanted King Kenny to score so badly that day. It would have been a crowing glory on a World Class career. The only footballer to be king in 2 grounds in 2 countries
A great memory. I never saw a football match at Wembley, only went there for the World Speedway final in ‘81. It was a fantastic atmosphere from a special place. The shadows on the pitch here create so many memories of great games. 1966, cup final in ‘71 etc. The distant haze from one end of the stadium to the other, all very nostalgic. From what friends have said, the new Wembley is not the same neither are the cup finals really, although inside the old one it was very old and in need of a revamp. .....Life goes on though.
Me too - I was there. Travelled down (up actually, I was working in Chatham at the time) in the morning, ticketless. Met a buddy at Euston and set off to get me a ticket. Not a sniff (except for a couple of roided up cockney touts armed with an equally roided up rottweiler) things started turning a bit nasty, dog got excited, cockneys produced a couple of previously hidden telescopic truncheons and police were soon on it to break any 'transaction' from being completed. I was bereft. Couldn't even get through the first of me four cans of ale. Decided to go down to the coach park - made sense - early bird and all that. No luck after countless enquiries, then... A portly, well dressed, middle aged German took interest in my plea. £50 bought me a £6 terrace ticket. I was elated! The fucker still had three more tickets in his wallet! This was hard work - two years earlier for the Milk Cup final a simple slide of a fiver to the gateman got me entry. But that's another story.
I recorded the whole thing on Vcr as I had my cousins Birthday party to go to.I was 9.We was acting like we were coming back from Wembley after on the way home could wait to watch that game LINEKER VS HANSEN WAS A CLASSIC
Craig Johnston scored Liverpools first goal too, ball was definitely not over the line from Rush. The third goal by Rush was one of the best FA cup final goals.
The first goal conceded by Everton was just awful. Stevens gives a horrible, sloppy pass, then Mountfield gets nut megged whilst Ratcliffe gets drawn towards the ball leaving a huge gap for Rush to run in to. Completely avoidable goal and I agree Johnston defo got the final touch.
@@mcharris5200 Looked reasonably trim after his stint in jail but otherwise rather plump! Always technically brilliant though, with his passing and shooting.
I was Red my Girl was Blue ... we were behind the goal on the left, a commentator mentioned us outside Wembley when the teams were coming in ... I was in Red, she was in Blue on my shoulders!.
Hahaha imagine some fella just sat on the roof of Wembley at a cup final now. They’d have the terrorism squad out and the game called off. I’m not saying they were better, but things certainly used to be a lot simpler.
I would have to agree. Liverpool seemed dead and buried and Everton yes creating chances. I was sulking because I was convinced that Liverpool would lose. I always felt that the inciden. Between Brucie and Jim Beglín was the spark that woke Liverpool up.
He was only there for one year. Having joined from Leicester,he scored 30 league and 8 cup goals for the Toffees in the 1985-86 season,then moved to Barcelona in 1986 - but not before announcing himself on the world stage in Mexico that summer.
Bruce roasting Jim Beglin was a classic too the cheeck to dobthe old school pass back check.So quickly after he blatantly punched man in the back.BRUCIE WAS A LEDGEND JIM DIDNT LAST LONG
I don’t understand your assertion that Everton would have won if Southall had been in goal. Mimms did nothing wrong. And it’s not as though Rush ever had difficulty scoring goals past Southall. (Not a comment on Southall, who for several years was a superb goalkeeper.)

I watched this final live on TV ... I was 8 years old ... 1st year I support Liverpool Fc til now ... what a memory ... YNWA from Brunei 🇧🇳
A very good effort there by Jim Beglin which nearly hit the corner flag 0:11

Gotta love Craig Johnstone's effort in trying to steal Rush's first goal! 4:58
That last goal (shot by Rush) was on the grandstand credits for years, where he hit the photo equipment
Yeah I remember that, they loved shots like that back then, shots like when the ball went into the camera etc, can't remember who it was but remember when the ball went into the ) bit in the goal net in one match, they kept showing that...
I remember that too - RIP those cameras 😂.

Nobody can ever take that magical memory away from you. It's yours to keep forever and It sums up the things in life that really matter.
Great memories pal...
This is Molbys final imo.
Great player when at his best but not too disciplined with his diet unfortunately but boy was he a baller.

Now, this is what you call an FA Cup Final.

a manger getting the push after the final 3 years of failure well done boys
and someone watched it sat on the roof
You don't miss Motty doing the football on the telly? Geezer is a legend.
@@gordonferrar7782 I wasn't mocking him. Just citing his catchphrases.
Mostly British players and managers...
Just before Gary won Golden Boot in Mexico and Queen played 2 of their last few gigs there! What a year
Rush was deadly. He should never have gone to Juventus.
Yep. As a Liverpool supporting kid I was heart broken. John Aldridge just wasn’t a substitute.
He didn't stay long though!
i think he agreed going to Juventus to play alongside Michel Platini who is a good passer from midfield. but Platini retired just before Ian was due to join Juventus and he was starved of the passes from midfield.
Questioned about his home sickness whilst in Italy, Rush quipped "It's like living in a foreign country." lol
I was 9 at the time Rushie was my favourite player was happy when he returned
Fantastic game : Liverpool was an incredible team but Everton was another great team. Excellent players and real English football atmosphere. I watched on tv in Italy (i was 19);wonderful memories of an old Liverpool fan
it was like AC Milan v Inter Milan in the Coppa Italia final.
@@mohdazmi10 you're right! Good sunday
Telecronista Ennio Vitanza.....
I remember singing Merseyside.....those days are long gone sadly
Jim Beglin good game, i loved Ronnie Whelan
The goal that Whelan assisted to Rush for his second was my favourite FA Cup goal......till Gerrard's second versus West Ham
RIP camera in the back of the net!
Those deft touches from Molby to set up goals. Wow.
I wanted King Kenny to score so badly that day. It would have been a crowing glory on a World Class career. The only footballer to be king in 2 grounds in 2 countries
That incident between Beglin and Brucie was hilarious. Molby was MOM. Really stepped up in the second half.

That was a week, won league at chelsea the week before, then this
Gary Linneker in his prime. Wow!

Craig Johnston scored Liverpools first goal too, ball was definitely not over the line from Rush. The third goal by Rush was one of the best FA cup final goals.
Was offside if he touched it
He was behind Ian Rush when he shot so no offside.
The first goal conceded by Everton was just awful. Stevens gives a horrible, sloppy pass, then Mountfield gets nut megged whilst Ratcliffe gets drawn towards the ball leaving a huge gap for Rush to run in to. Completely avoidable goal and I agree Johnston defo got the final touch.
My main concern was that greedy Johnston could have had that goal disallowed for being offside!
@@ir1041 Absolutely no chance - clearly behind Rush, when Rush shoots. Linesman's opinion on the other hand....
I was 12 at the time. Some credit has to go to Everton for reaching three finals on the bounce. (84, 85 & 86)
Molby. What a f***ing player.
His 2 assists were nutmegs and unreal vision to setup Liverpool's 3rd goal. 7:29
Agreed. Over weight. Never sprinted ever just jogged everywhere. But what a player
@@mcharris5200 And spoke like a local within two weeks of signing.
@@apathyintheuk265 Yes,it didn't take him long to gain the accent did it? 😂

0:11 "Good Effort" by Beglin..🤣🤣😂😂 - Almost went back to the same place for an Everton throw.
MOTM is Jan Molby.
Us Reds stayed in london coz the saturday before we won the league at chelsea n took pver london ,twS a greT weekp
Soy hincha de Independiente de Avellaneda, y puedo decir que la final del mundo del 84 contra el Liverpool fue nuestra! aguante el Rojo!
necesitaba atención este muchacho

RIP Motty 😢

Impressive feat to climb up there. Or perhaps he's a Liver bird and flew there.
0-1 Gary Lineker (27 min)
1-1 Ian Rush (56 min)
2-1 Craig Johnston (62 min)
3-1 Ian Rush (83 min)
I love Liverpool
Holy shit, we're still crap at defending. Some things never change.
MenexGaming fast forward three years...
Johnston magic
As a Utd fan feel for Everton best team list
Not in this game. Everton fell apart in the last half hour.
Don't you just love The Reds! 😎
Kenny The King Player Manger had that magic touch YNWA96
everton were the better team right up til liverpool equalised. then it was all one way traffic.
I would have to agree. Liverpool seemed dead and buried and Everton yes creating chances. I was sulking because I was convinced that Liverpool would lose.
I always felt that the inciden. Between Brucie and Jim Beglín was the spark that woke Liverpool up.
Even at 1-1 that save by Grobelaar from Sharp was a turning point. A minute later and it's 2-1.
Motty! RIP
Bloody hell forgot about linekar going Everton
He was only there for one year. Having joined from Leicester,he scored 30 league and 8 cup goals for the Toffees in the 1985-86 season,then moved to Barcelona in 1986 - but not before announcing himself on the world stage in Mexico that summer.
I remember well i say remember i was 9 and was a bad boy and was not allowed watch it but i peeped in the window to watch
Lawrenson running in jam with lineker
Gary goal!
No ticket no problem
Bruce roasting Jim Beglin was a classic too the cheeck to dobthe old school pass back check.So quickly after he blatantly punched man in the back.BRUCIE WAS A LEDGEND JIM DIDNT LAST LONG
Rush to the rescue👍👍
Ref proper shit it with sharps nailed on pen
Rieds ball must have been one of his sober days maybe
Winning 1-0 then the howler frm g. Stevens. If we had big nev the best keeper in the world.... we would of won that final. It's a shame.
I think in the week leading up to the final, Everton signed Pat Jennings on as cover for Bobby Mimms. Or have I somehow dreamed that?
@@apathyintheuk265 Im not sure about that,but Pat Jennings retired after playing for Northern Ireland at the Mexico 86 World Cup.
I don’t understand your assertion that Everton would have won if Southall had been in goal. Mimms did nothing wrong. And it’s not as though Rush ever had difficulty scoring goals past Southall. (Not a comment on Southall, who for several years was a superb goalkeeper.)
@@apathyintheuk265think it was before the semi. I seem to remember him sat by me at that game at villa Park.
Everton should have finished them off
They certainly created the chances to. I couldn't see Liverpool getting a look in on this game for such large spells.
Could've, should've but didn't.
Needed to get that second goal but didn’t, and then fell apart.
