Liverpool were a winning machine during this era. I believe that they won the league for 3 seasons on the bounce - 82, 83 and 84 I think. It was a great time to be going to the game.
John Wile was 35 years old on that day. For reference, thats the same age as David Silva is now. Fair to say players looked a lot older than their age back in those days.
In the good old days when the 1st division actually was the first tier and the 2nd division actually was the second tier. Proper football played by decent blokes on a Saturday afternoon. Before money and diving ruined the game.
Sometimes we forget such humble beginnings...Allardyce at Bolton,Coppell at United(Palace and Man City manager) Joe Royale (Man.City player to Everton manager) etc...

Much better programme in those days. Good long highlights, limited action replays and no 'in-depth' analysis after each game.
this was the very day i was born!!!
Fun Fact: BBC Breakfast Time started the next day
I was a Liverpool fan between 77-86. The Bob Paisley teams were amazing!
The football in that Sheffield Wednesday game was Shocking!

I saw Bobby Collins play for Oldham Athletic when he was 42, in the 1972-73 season.
Wow, the debut of the famous Kelham O'Hanlon!

RIP Stephen Bell and Mick Baxter
Tragic! What happened to Stephen Bell?
I was at that West Brom v Liverpool game and it was an awful match until Rush popped up to warm our hearts on a freezing day.
It looked shit.
Lovely ball from David Hodgson. Always thought he was a top player, a bit unlucky
Poor referee. Liverpool bigger than that anyway. The move on 21 mins was world class
And thus, R0n Wylie invented the 'wingback'.
Just shake his hand Cyril ...!!!!
