what a great commentator Brian Moore was.
Compare this game & atmosphere to modern times. No VAR stoppages, no passing sidewards & backwards 100 times before the ball gets to the half way line. I’m a Villa fan but seeing this fake reminds me football was more exciting back in the day
football atmospheres will never return to these glorious times. what a shame.
Terraces needed
Emotional, this is what football is all about mate. Bring back the proper days.
Absolutely superb 👌
Please take me back to the 80,s,although scary times,but what a buzz in life 👍
I was at this match with my dad and as good as the atmosphere sounds, there was murder inside and outside the stadium that day.
We stood on the street end and where each corner of the ground met its adjacent stand, big gaps opened up. This was because golf balls and other missiles were being hurled between rival fans, whilst Flags and scarves were set on fire.
I would go as far as to say that this was the most toxic of atmospheres that I had ever experienced - apart from the fact that the replay at Maine Road was equally as bad.
Two weeks earlier , the atmosphere at Anfield for the League game was really nasty too, Utd winning by a Frank Stapleton header. I always liked the adult male aggression in football crowds but this was just too hostile.
After game United got smashed everywhere even running into boozer and goin into the cellars closing hatched to stop the lads from ruining then see united thid day not budging from a major police escort but you wouldn't want to being surrounded by 2000 scals these lads where up for anything g united brought afzer game they got smashed every where fact
I was there too as a United fan. It was the most toxic atmosphere I've been in too. I had come on the Special from Victoria to Edge Hill where hundreds of us got herded onto buses to Anfield. I was in the seats with United fans right next to the Gwladys Street end where the Liverpool fans were, and it was a barrage of missiles being thrown from both sides. There was even a golf balls with nails hammered in. A few people were stretchered off with bloodied heads.
@@MrMetalleg Crazy stuff...but interesting to hear a different angle. For me, it got out of hand and there never was any need for such levels of violence. There will always be rivalries and that's normal, but what we saw that day should stay in the past.
Agreed.@@RobCLynch
Brian moore legend like all these players you will never see the likes of again and also the atmospheres unbelievable days just pure nostalgia
I m italian but i loved english football 80 '.great team,great player and great atmosphere.epic stadium like higbury,villa park,old boylen ground and old the den,the true home of football
What a shame the FA Cup is no longer taken seriously by the big clubs now. What a game & what an atmosphere, was only 16 when this game took place. Why oh why play semi finals at soulless wembley, the tighter club grounds eg goodison, villa park by far the best for true football fans.
i agree the fa cup final should be wembley only, the semi final should be villa park, old trafford and places like that
I remember my brain nearly exploded when Paul Walsh equalised😭
Offside! Glad he scored it, because it meant the amazing replay could happen.
I know you can't stand in the way of progress and everything but football grounds back in those days were just gorgeous. Goodison Park was a particularly nice one.
My goodness, what an incredible atmosphere.
Great times even though my beloved LFC lost.
Rarely did well against the Red Devils back then despite winning the league six times in the eighties.
Styles make fights and we often struggled against a peak Robson and the incredible Paul McGrath.
What an atmosphere!
Electric
This was the most intense game I ever remember watching!
Wasn’t at the game or anything but watching these highlights brings back memories of the kind of atmosphere that games had mid 80s it was unbelievable sadly looking at the packed terraces it was only a matter of time till there was a tragedy it’s almost gladiatorial out there nothing anywhere close matches up these days
As an Everton supporter this electric atmosphere was a regular occasion at many important games from the late 50s onwards. I can recall gates of over 65,000 at FA Cup games under the tall floodlights that will never be seen again, with the new changes to stadium layout. One mistake made was the reluctance of the FA to play important international games at Goodison and Villa Park when so much relied on a win
Back in 1973 England faced two games against Poland in the World Cup qualifiers.
That England team contained some top class players like Martin Chivers, Colin Bell and Tony Currie.
Who sadly never played in the finals, other than a Sub role for Colin Bell in 1970 against West Germany.
Bobby Moore the England captain once said the first game against Poland was moved from the stadium that it was planned beforehand. And when the team came out in the new venue it was solidly packed with soldiers.
And it effected the players. England lost 2-0 and the return at Wembley later in the year saw Poland play out of their skins to hold England, that cost them a place in the 1974 world cup finals.
West Germany also raised their game against England at Wembley in the European Championships in 1972 that cost them dearly. As Wembley always seemed to lift opponents the FA ought to have moved these games to Goodison or Villa Park which might have changed the course of history in international football
From an LFC fan, it will be an absolute tragedy when Goodison goes. A priceless bit of footballing history and heritage. That said, I think the atmospheres in the 50s might have been just as loud, but a bit less toxic, than those to come in the 80's.
This brings back memories. My first FA Cup Semi Final. Thanks to Paul Walsh!!!! United score two crabby deflections, they always had the luck against us then.
They did.
We were lucky with the offside flag but yes they always had the lion’s share of the luck in games.
They also had the massive luck of being able to expand their ground with little trouble unlike any other club.
Now though that same luck that helped them dominate and has made them a cash cow has stuffed them as they will always be stuck with the Glazers.
So what they make the first $100 million goes in interest charges and directors fees.
Goodison Parks greatest EVER atmosphere.
Fuck off - maybe for toxicity which was a laugh because Liverpool had a huge out of town glory hunter base even then and Utd had the cockney reds among other bases. Not even that season. The small matter of Bayern Munich in the semi final, hammering Utd 5 0, winning the title against QPR I could go on and on.
id say there was some atmosphere at it
I as at the game and it was a mad day. Fighting the scousers in the ground and a great game. Went to the replay at Maine road where we beat them, went to the final too. Great days. 🇾🇪🇾🇪🇾🇪
Ronnie Whelan did score some long-range beauties in this fixture. Wembley 1983, Goodison 1985, Old Trafford 1990.
The FA cup was special back then, it really was a big occasion. It was much better when the semi-finals were played at neutral club grounds. Traditional places like Villa park/hillsborough/maine road/old trafford. I don't remember goodison park being used much for semi finals in the 80s and 90s, could be wrong though
Goodison was only really suitable for a semi-final between Liverpool and United or City.
@@robicenco1 Yep, was also used back in 1979 - the Jimmy Greenhoff semi.
God how I miss these days 18 at the time. Football is shit now.
Football looks so much more fun back then
Kids today should watch these 1970s and 1980s games to see what is used to be like and how it should be . They’ll never understand
Wow ..that was mental!!!
Such a shame a destructive drinking culture was acceptable under Atkinson. The United team of the mid-late 80s had some highly talented and classy players. Robson, Hughes, Whiteside, McGrath, Stapleton, Blackmore, Strachan were really classy when they turned on the style but that was very rare. So glad Sir Alex put an end to this because it was really holding us up. Should have won more with this team.
I remember this United team very well and I always wondered why they never seemed to have the consistency to go all the way.
On their day, they could beat anybody, but they'd slip up against a bum team.
They were always up for the big games - particularly Liverpool games - and inevitably, Bryan Robson would get injured and United would fall apart.
@@RobCLynch Yes, Robbo was tough as boot leather, took some bangs. I remember falling in love with United as a kid in mid 80s and the 85 cup final was my first proper memory of supporting them. the fact they had a lot of Irish players at the time made it even more special for. For all the previous mentioned players there was also the likes of peter davenport, ralph milne, colin gibson, liam O'brien, John Sivebaek so maybe thats why we were so hit and miss. Funny thing is, since we've been in our receent decline, I feel the same hunger and optimism that we are on the verge of greatness now just like I did in the very early 90s when we won the FA cup and cup winners cup in quick succession. Roll on Friday pal!
This is Football
ronnie whealans goal was a belter
Oh those horrible fencing keeping fans as caged animals...
Was there-talk about agro during/after the match!!
Put your few pound on Liverpool!!
In the replay I ran out on the pitch at the end got my arm round robbo tall kid red shirt the the copper comes pushes me away u can see it a mile away
@daedralord1 No worries fella. It was a long time ago after all. ha ha. Great atmosphere at both Goodison Park and Maine Road that year, even if my team did end up losing the replay. Lol
@daedralord1 I think you meant 19 months mate. This game was in April 1985 and Fergie walked in to Old Trafford for the first time in November 1986.
I was there that day, unbelievable atmosphere and violence everywhere
@3:20 Grobelaar's positioning is terrible..
Hillsborough-Justice-Campaign/248844275216125
grandi partite e tifosi con pettinature terribili. Gran bei tempi
Crazy over-crowded. Probably more than 50.000 at a 30.000 stadium, that was very dangerous...and we know how that Ended. I know people got murdered outside the ground too and many injured inside and out
I was at this game in the st end official capacity at Goodison in the 80s was just over 51000 we played Everton in the cup a year later there was over 51000 then

Ellycat after that comment, we can guess you didn't go, you smashed from the train station to the ground.. you didn't even sell your allocation.. poor that lad
@@MegaTreble99 You lot still had Mars bars on your backs and holes in your heads from the Saturday game from our golf balls that night ..you looked like fukn Zombies 😂
"United score two crabby deflections, they always had the luck against us then"
Yeah remember Utd's goals at the '77 Cup Final when they hardly touched the ball the ball the whole match. No wonder they're called the red devils.
an utds two goals at the replay at maine ye scruffy
Ah yes, Brian Robson, United's pale immitation of Souness.
I wouldn’t say that.
I thought Robson was a great player and I am a Liverpool fan.
Souness not fit to lace Captain Marvel’s boots
@@bindipper7333 - Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
Captain Nowt
Souness was leagues above that pisscan.
@@mossga 🛎️🔚not in your dreams little boy
Anyway mongo what do you have to say about taking only 14 fans to West Ham in 75
Ha ha ha fucking bottle jobs shitting themselves from West Ham yet the red army had taken over Upton Park years before
Hamburg I was at this 1 and it's not the memory I've got as I'm utd and we ran u all over the place in y own back yard and on the pitch that day how we drew that 1 ile never know as we were much the better side
Replay u were better but we won
And who's the daddy now then
This aged well.
5 nil dickhead
glory glory man united
typical scousers robbing again
Nice to watch these classic game's. Lucky Liverpool. Ref sleeping. Lol
how ugly is the man u strip compared to liverpool's
Um... not very? The 84-86 home strip looked great. It was a fan favourite.
Not as ugly as all those horrible Scouse fuckers
These were truly THE best days in British football. A time when terrace culture and violence ruled. North and South of the border dominated by Liverpool, Man Utd and Aberdeen in terms of fashions, culture and violence.
