Anyone who says waching City tippee tappee shite nowadays is progress then there wrong in there heads . These were the real deal British footballers on the whole and British managers and above all no agents !
Sorry to be 'that guy'. Alf Common was earning £4 per week in 1908...when the average working mans salary was £30 a year. Johnny Haynes was earning £100 per week in 1961. George Best was earning £2000 per week in 1968. Kevin Keegan earned fifty times what my dad earned per week. Its a myth that the modern game is ruined by money. Its always been ridiculous money.
To be fair liverpool did have more money than most due to the Littlewoods pools investment. Same as united in the 90s 00s with the sponsorship deals they had. Not sugar daddy money like chelsea & city though.
Well, it would be a very sad, narrow-minded way to live a life if you couldn't enjoy certain things, based on the fact that you support a certain club.
I'm an LFC fan, and last night I watched the Alex Ferguson documentary Never Give In.... it was excellent I imagine a UTD fan would have enjoyed that even more 😅
As a Liverpool fan, and even though it was nearly 50 years ago, it was still pleasing to see we beat your lot. Don't worry though, you got your revenge when you beat us in the cup final and stopped us doing the treble. First European Cup for us that year, you can hear them talking about Rome in the doc.
Memories that will last forever I was 11 back then in 77 and I'm a neutral but can name every single Liverpool player even now 46 years later ...how many players could we name now in 46 years time ..all today's footballers are instantly forgettable this lot will be with us forever ..all legends and a legendary manager ...thank them all for making us love football the way it should be played for the fans and the glory not the money...
I think part of it was the small squads and long one club careers. Altho some of those players left other big clubs for Liverpool eg Souness and Ray Kennedy. As for loyalty... Keegan? In some ways I think football was better back then, in some ways not so good.
Greatest team there’s ever been under paisley and he doesn’t get the recognition that he deserves apart from in Liverpool what he achieved in such a short time is incredible
@@willbee6785 Not the greatest team there's ever been. As good as Paisley was he spent a lot of money which other managers didn't have to. Hennes Weisweiler of Borussia Moenchengladbach, proved himself a brilliant manager by leading Borussia to maturity without ever buying a star player, using his coaching skills on the training pitch to bring on and improve players as did Rinus Michels at Ajax.
An incredible bit of film. I'm 67 now and I've been a Liverpool fan pretty well all my life. I made sure my son was a fan of the greatest club around because you see, I married an Evertonian. My father-in-law tried to make him a Blue, but I would have none of it. LOL. To see this documentary has brought back so many fond memories ,especially seeing Emlyn Hughes, to this day, my favourite player of all time. YNWA. C'mon you REDS!!!!!
I'm 13 years younger Stephen. I've been a fan since 74. Its glorious to see a real 'wizard' in life and his genius. Mr. Paisley need to go to hogwarts, take the 'wand' out of dumbledorf's hands, break it in two and throw him out into the street. What a genius the Clever Bob Paisley was in life. I see this video and its more real to me than the world today. What a 'Wizard' he was in life! and Emilyn Hughes! The Defender; My Idol, even more so than the future Dalglish. Very fond memories.
@@iandawson3171 A family member lived a couple of doors down from Emlyns parents in the Lake District, said Emlyn was always cheerful and said hello, what a player he was tragically taken from this world too soon.
No airs and graces, just honest lads playing their hearts out. An example to all todays players. This is why Liverpool will always be the nations flagship club . . . . . . . . . . and the Kop will always be world football's first choir.
@@GarethColquhoun Get educated and find some perspective, please. Liverpool fans do not hate their country. They hate its elitist establishment that abuses us all. When our own country's government abandons your city, then its establishment protects itself by covering up the unlawful killing of 97 working class football fans, you have every right to voice your disdain for the anthem of the rich, abusive 'elite' who despise football fans, regardless of their club allegiance.
What a fantastic 'lost in time' report that was. Jaw dropping moments throughout. Can you imagine Kane or Haarland berating a fan, still in their car, of bad parking at the grounds, these days?
Most players of today have about as much personality as a turnip. Listening to some of them talk is the most boring, predictable crap a person can endure.
@@alanduncan1980 Media training. They’re not actually like that but the club teaches them to be as vanilla as possible. All sport is like that now even with teenagers.
I have been a Liverpool supporter since my Dad took me to my first game at Anfield at the age of 4. I will die a Red. I Love this club and have been extremely honoured to see them standing on the Kop, the boys pen and at different parts of the ground. Best Team in World Football. LFC4EVER!
Utterly extraordinary. Ashes scattered on the playing pitch, queuing up for tickets for the Kop ("£3 please"), a cosy chat in the manager's office about the team sheet, burning rubbish on the stands, no adverts. The whole thing has the air of a Sunday league amateur club, not one of the greatest football clubs in the world in the middle of its greatest run of domestic and international successes. But it seems inevitable that those days couldn't continue when you see how ramshackle everything is. Not just at Anfield, of course, but across all football. Still, wouldn't we rather have those days (albeit without the piss and violence on the terraces) than today's overpriced glitzy commercialism?
Bring back the good old days of 70's and 80's Liverpool played football!!! Winning the league nearly every season!!! We've missed that for over 40 years now!!! "Never mind Europe, the league is our bread and butter" Bill Shankly
Evertonian here. All my arch enemies in one place ruining my childhood! Still, real footy, real players, grounds &pitches. All working class relatable. Not now full of massively overpaid out of touch mercenaries , pricing us all out of our game. Brilliant time capsule of a(unfortunately for me!) brilliant team.
I discovered LFC one evening in March 1977 in the quarter-final of the champion clubs against Saint-Etienne and today I am still a big Liverpool fan. Superb report in which I recognized many players, my favorite naturally was K. Keegan. I was very impressed and fascinated by the Kop. You've conquered all of Europe You're never gonna stop!
Yes I remember Keegan leaving,then I was quite excited when they signed Dalglish,who was already a star at Celtic, I was only 12 in 77 but I was a big Liverpool fan despite being on the other side of the planet in Melbourne, we had just returned from the UK where we visited my grandparents in StHelens, and I had had my first GameDay experience at a3-3 draw with Ipswich at Anfield, came back in 79/80 and saw a couple more games from the Kop, great times, it was a different world in those days.take it easy, YNWA.
I am a West Ham fan but I remember those days like yesterday. John Smith, the way he talked and gesticulated made me smile. It would be good to see one from the next season when Dalglish joined.
I was lucky enough to be a supporter during the era when we stood in the Kop, half way up behind the goal. the surges forward when we scored was a buzz thats hard to describe, the whole crowd moved as one. I was also lucky when my cousin was scouted by LFC and we got the full on tour, I touched the ``This is Anfield`` sign in its original spot over the original players entrance. Sitting still doesnt feel right.
Idolised Bob as well as the team and even with managers past and present success Bob Paisley will always be my No1 and the ERA i fell in love with club .
Fan absolu de Liverpool depuis mon enfance, je remercie du fond du cœur pour ce partage. Les différences entre les réalités passées et actuelles sont saisissantes.
I was 12, growing up in Ireland. I loved this team, they were giants to me. I listened to games via English radio with poor reception. I particularly remember listening to Liverpool winning at Wolves to clinch the ‘76 title, Keegan’s equalizer away to Bruges in the ‘76 UEFA cup final and the 3-1 win at home to St Etienne with Fairclough’s late goal in ‘77. The defeat to United in the ‘77 cup final was a bitter blow and ever since, I am sad to say, I have disliked United. Many of these men have passed on now, Hughes, Smith, Kennedy, Clemenceau, Moran, Fagan and Paisley. God rest them all and thanks for the memories.
Nice short film , this would have been Keegans final weeks as a Liverpool player, imagine the emotions he must have been going through before his move to Hamburg
Takes me back to my childhood, I was 11 at this time and went to Anfield for the first time the following year just after we won the European Cup again at Wembley. Keegan was my first idol until King Kenny arrived, what a team we had back then and Bob Paisley was a genius who never got the recognition he deserved outside of Liverpool. Happy times thankyou for this.
My Dad started work on ships in 1963 in Australia, he was 13. To get the job as a deckboy, he had to promise to be a lifelong Liverpool fan and that all his kids would be LFC fans too. The Boson was from Liverpool. My dad shook hands and agreed. I have many fond memories of early early mornings in the 1980's being woken up to watch Liverpool play. In the 90's my Dad and I had a falling out. I left home and started supporting Spurs - that's MY team. But I always have a soft spot for Liverpool and never feel bad when they succeed.
Wow! I was 17 around this time and loved footballs simplicity and working class spirit, I still love football but I could hardly name my local (Portsmouth) teams players simply because I have no interest in them, then unlike today players would often be born in your city and proudly play for the club now most aren’t even born in this country, so loyalty is rare. Excellent video, thanks to whoever shared it.
it's interesting John Smith pointing out we were one of the few clubs left without adverts round the ground, yet a few years later we were one of the first to have adverts on the SHIRTS (Hitachi)
in 1984 we were European Champions again. Just before the first home game of 1984/85 we went up to Anfield on a weekday to buy tickets. No one was around. Took 10 minutes - then all the players came out to get on the coach to Melwood the training ground. Got all their autographs. Again no one was around. Players just signed and spoke to their fellow players and then walked on. So deadpan. Then we went into the souvenir shop at the back of the Kop. It was like a big hut. As European champions Anfield held 45,000 then and the crowd was 33,000 for the first game. Just way more relaxed and chill compared to now. No fuss or hype. Little media coverage and 90% of the crowd were regulars. it was like being in a club. And a lot more mystique as well as not everything was covered by media. You did not see other teams or players as much especially European teams. Liverpool played Manchester United on January 1, 1984. Two of the biggest clubs in Europe, two of the best teams both going for the title and no footage exists. It was never shown on tv. I'm sad that my children wont get to experience this and little things like going on holiday and then going out of your way to get the news papers from back home (which were always a day late). You really felt away from it all and in a foreign country.
I was 8 years old + remember only watching their matches on TV. So this is good to see what went on behind the matches. Also so good to see so many familiar bootroom faces.
I was 4 years old and it wudn't be another 5 years b4 I started to understand the game and supporting the club .... took me another year to understand wtf is 'off-side'😅
The days when football players took hard tackles without rolling about on the floor, feigning injury. The days when players were approachable and were known to join fans for a pint. The days when football had a soul and players played for the love of playing and not motivated by money. I'd love to see the 77-78 LFC team against today's Premier league teams.
Ah the days when you could break an opponent's leg and not get booked and get dementia later in your life due to heading heavy footballs. Jumpers for goalposts 😂😂😂
A little bit of research shows this went out 24 hours after the United game on BBC1 sportsnight on Wednesday 4th May. A few days after Rome there was a 30 minute programme presented by Stuart Hall called Hope in their Hearts in which the liverpool players and staff talked about the season. Can't find any footage but I'm sure someone out there has an old vhs tape gathering dust in the attic.
I loved this era in British football, ..muddy pitches, hard tackling, and cold tea at halftime ,.. now its over sanitised, with perfect pitches , VAR and players who wimp out with the slightest touch,... transport me back to the days of proper football anytime
You're right (I am sad to say it)! You only had to watch a few minutes of yesterday's FA Cup Final to realise how much the rules have changed. Robot Referees with no emotion, VAR is basically HawkEye with a different name. Is it any wonder many football fans are turning their backs and seeking alternative, lower league football to follow these days?
@@stevendecube2832 I'm totally disillusioned with the game these days to be honest , ...its unrecognisable to the game I grew up loving and watching years ago,....the game with imperfections was made it so perfect to me,....but it's become this over sanitised money monster that simply leaves me cold.....I tend to get more enjoyment from non league football theses days,......its more organic and not saturated in greed that's killing the game
@@chrisevans4123 agreed, although I hate to say it I don't think things will ever go back to how they were. I know that AFC Liverpool call themselves 'affordable football' for people who were priced out from going to Anfield (which were one of the original family football working class football clubs, even before Watford did it). I've found myself following the results of a local team to where I'm living, which says it all really. Watching Match of the Day and especially yesterday's match really gets on my nerves to the point of turning the channel.
I have grown up in the 80s supporting LFC but you can't stand still in time. If we did this we would still ride horses instead of cars and air planes. We as people species move on with the times.
Well said guy's 👍.. Standing on the terraces, 14/15man squads, 2 subs etc ect .. Those really were the day's! I almost don't recognize the game now, Var, money & the woke brigade have conspired to ruin it!
An absolute gem of a programme . George on the mic as he is still now , Golden Goal tickets I remember them, people calling the club for scores as was pointed out in a previous comment , the pink newspaper in the 80's after the match . Standing on the kop , pools coupons and the scores on the side of the pitch instead of adverts (the A-Z blocks) Also the days when the juniors cleaned the players boots and it was a honour back then to say for example I clean Kevin Keagan's boots....can you imagine that now.
Leeds here. As a lad in the 70s/80s, we were part of the "City Schoolboys" network where we travelled around the country playing each others' teams. Always against the best players chosen for their representative city teams. Our most difficult, yet most respected opponents were Liverpool Boys and Newcastle, also Salford. We had a good solid squad in those years- 78-83. Liverpool boys in 78 and 82 (at Elland Road where we won 3-2) I think... were the best team we played. Good memories. 🙂
That was still football. Liverpool had a super team and a great crowd in the 1970s. Back then, all the players were from Wales, England, Scotland, Ireland, Northern Ireland. Today, only a few players still play from Great Britain. Today only snobs play who don't identify with the club. I live in South Tyrol (Italy) and was a big fan of AFC Liverpool in the 1970s. Thank you for the good times and for AFC Liverpool. 😀😃🤩
Wonderful days. Even in the 80s I remember the players coming to our social club. Players that had won the title and double sitting with kids on their laps having a pint with normal working men.
What an amazing piece of footage. Archives like these fascinate me, it's like watching a different club, sport, and even society. If we want be honest with ourselves, we have to admit that this conservative culture, explained by John Smith, is also what led to the club's decline in the early 90s. The club managed poorly the transition to modern football, something MU did perfectly by being proactive, which allowed them to take over. If you went to Old Trafford in the late 80s, you could see that they were already in place for it. Modern services had already been developed there, and discussions about a massive expansion were already taking place. No one imagined that this shift in power could happen, but in reality it was all written in stone.
I remember as a youngster (a bit later in the 80s) ringing the Liverpool club premium number for latest news on the team then wondering why my day went bonkers over the phone bill. I can hear the little intro now🎵🎵 Liverpool Clubcall🎵🎵
Emlyn had decent spell as a manager. Kevin Keegan had good spell at Newcastle and became an England manger. Phil Neal was an assistant to Graham Taylor (Yes boss). Steve Highway was youth coach at Liverpool for years. Anyone else I've forgotten? Ray Clemence was goalkeeping coach for England.
What legends Joe & Ronnie were, running with the players in training, working on the treatment tables afterwards, laying out kits...they'd have done anything for Liverpool Football Club without first asking for a pound, better times in so many ways.
1970s is a world away. These guys remind me of my dad...totally different attitude and outlook - simplicity and practicality in their thinking. Be smart, look smart, get on with it. Saving the whales and ozone layer concerns are still another decade away. Imagine dropping Mario Balotelli into 1977 Liverpool FC 😜
How much do you think Bob would be worth these days ? He would chased around the world all the big teams would want him . Thankfully he stayed one of us
That's Walter Orr in the ticket office my mum and Dad's best friend no longer with us sadly , lived in Mirriam Rd with his wife Edna , worked on turnstiles with my Dad
I always remember him playing an open game in the 1977 FA Cup Final. He could have easily put on a Liverpool 0-0 bore show like he dished up at O.T. year after year. But he seemed to realise that people were tuning into a spectacle. It lost them the Treble but I admire him for giving it a go.
Bob had no choice. We had to win or loose the Cup Final on Saturday, a draw would have been a disaster. Believe it or not, the replay was scheduled for next Wednesday. The very same night we were supposed to be playing in Rome! You couldn't make this sh!t up, but it is true.
@@philipritson8821 Those were the days when getting European matches played and out of the way mattered so we could get on with the important domestic side of our game. (Classic example: Liverpool Vs Anderlecht at Anfield in thick fog because rescheduling would cause too much of a backlog). Nowadays, football bodies can't make enough extra fixtures to rake-in as much money as possible.
Frightening to think that the days of Dalglish, McDermott, Kennedy etc are nearly 50 years ago - in those days you are in the school playground kicking a ball around pretending to be them and now well into middle age
As a United fan, I love seeing old footage like this you can see that LFC was these people's lives they love their club and I respect that the game is very commercialized these days if I could pick a handful of real traditional clubs in this country LFC would be one of them.
i've learned pretty much of english soccer from shoot megazine, fancied man u as my fav choice but liverpool is no doubt a league great contenders in div 1 that years. a year later kevin keegan moved to hamburg sv in west germany at that time. comes a great era of sir kenny daglish, filling keegan post as ultimate goals machine. i really treasured those moment.
Special time in my life as a Liverpool fan. Legends all of them. The days before money ruined the game.
With you, highway, keegan, toshack , takes a lot of beating 👍🥊👍

I'm an American with no knowledge of Liverpool Football yet as a sports fan, I love this short documentary.
I went to anfield this past weekend for the villa game, its hard to believe its the same place!
I was 12, growing up in Ireland. I loved this team, they were giants to me. I listened to games via English radio with poor reception. I particularly remember listening to Liverpool winning at Wolves to clinch the ‘76 title, Keegan’s equalizer away to Bruges in the ‘76 UEFA cup final and the 3-1 win at home to St Etienne with Fairclough’s late goal in ‘77. The defeat to United in the ‘77 cup final was a bitter blow and ever since, I am sad to say, I have disliked United. Many of these men have passed on now, Hughes, Smith, Kennedy, Clemenceau, Moran, Fagan and Paisley. God rest them all and thanks for the memories.
Some special moments caught on tape . Legends to a man . UTR
Nice short film , this would have been Keegans final weeks as a Liverpool player, imagine the emotions he must have been going through before his move to Hamburg
If I’m not wrong this is filmed a few months before the signing of Dalglish
@Tommy Wiseau correct....Dalglish joined summer of 77 as Keegan left same time
This is the era I began supporting liverpool. Would give anything to go back to those times.
Takes me back to my childhood, I was 11 at this time and went to Anfield for the first time the following year just after we won the European Cup again at Wembley. Keegan was my first idol until King Kenny arrived, what a team we had back then and Bob Paisley was a genius who never got the recognition he deserved outside of Liverpool. Happy times thankyou for this.
Just seeing and hearing Bob talk about my team just brings a tear to my eye.A wonderful time to be a Red.
My Dad started work on ships in 1963 in Australia, he was 13.
To get the job as a deckboy, he had to promise to be a lifelong Liverpool fan and that all his kids would be LFC fans too. The Boson was from Liverpool. My dad shook hands and agreed.
I have many fond memories of early early mornings in the 1980's being woken up to watch Liverpool play.
In the 90's my Dad and I had a falling out. I left home and started supporting Spurs - that's MY team.
But I always have a soft spot for Liverpool and never feel bad when they succeed.
This is a gem what a wonderful film. So many memories this is special.
Wow! I was 17 around this time and loved footballs simplicity and working class spirit, I still love football but I could hardly name my local (Portsmouth) teams players simply because I have no interest in them, then unlike today players would often be born in your city and proudly play for the club now most aren’t even born in this country, so loyalty is rare. Excellent video, thanks to whoever shared it.
This is brilliant, the good old days ⚽️⚽️⚽️
ONE SINGLE WORD TO DESCRIBE THIS .... AWESOME ❤❤
A magical slice of sporting history.
great video, I could watch these all day, simpler times.
this was the year he left and broke my heart
it's interesting John Smith pointing out we were one of the few clubs left without adverts round the ground, yet a few years later we were one of the first to have adverts on the SHIRTS (Hitachi)
This was aired just before Rome and it's so down-to-earth it's unreal. Remember, Liverpool were European Champions soon after this aired.
in 1984 we were European Champions again. Just before the first home game of 1984/85 we went up to Anfield on a weekday to buy tickets. No one was around. Took 10 minutes - then all the players came out to get on the coach to Melwood the training ground. Got all their autographs. Again no one was around. Players just signed and spoke to their fellow players and then walked on. So deadpan. Then we went into the souvenir shop at the back of the Kop. It was like a big hut. As European champions Anfield held 45,000 then and the crowd was 33,000 for the first game. Just way more relaxed and chill compared to now. No fuss or hype. Little media coverage and 90% of the crowd were regulars. it was like being in a club. And a lot more mystique as well as not everything was covered by media. You did not see other teams or players as much especially European teams. Liverpool played Manchester United on January 1, 1984. Two of the biggest clubs in Europe, two of the best teams both going for the title and no footage exists. It was never shown on tv. I'm sad that my children wont get to experience this and little things like going on holiday and then going out of your way to get the news papers from back home (which were always a day late). You really felt away from it all and in a foreign country.
I was 8 years old + remember only watching their matches on TV. So this is good to see what went on behind the matches. Also so good to see so many familiar bootroom faces.
I was 4 years old and it wudn't be another 5 years b4 I started to understand the game and supporting the club .... took me another year to understand wtf is 'off-side'😅
@Are You Lost? Domo, domo
The days when football players took hard tackles without rolling about on the floor, feigning injury. The days when players were approachable and were known to join fans for a pint. The days when football had a soul and players played for the love of playing and not motivated by money.
I'd love to see the 77-78 LFC team against today's Premier league teams.
They wouldn't last I mean the modern lads either crying or rolling around
Ah the days when you could break an opponent's leg and not get booked and get dementia later in your life due to heading heavy footballs. Jumpers for goalposts 😂😂😂
Wonderful glimpse into the family club. What a man Paisley was..
This is just amazing, loved it!
Great video, great memories even though I don’t support Liverpool, brilliant to watch
Amazing. Funny to see Ronnie and Joe train, treat AND do the kit. How things have changed. I remember this Liverpool team as a young kid.
Liverpool, Bayern Munich, and Real Madrid.....Iconic football clubs.
Bull
Milan A.C.❤🖤 too
@@Ratetheirchannel Your snide comment certainly is.
A little bit of research shows this went out 24 hours after the United game on BBC1 sportsnight on Wednesday 4th May. A few days after Rome there was a 30 minute programme presented by Stuart Hall called Hope in their Hearts in which the liverpool players and staff talked about the season. Can't find any footage but I'm sure someone out there has an old vhs tape gathering dust in the attic.
Stuart Hall probably has a few VHSs up in his attic, but not the show youre talkin about.
I loved this era in British football, ..muddy pitches, hard tackling, and cold tea at halftime ,.. now its over sanitised, with perfect pitches , VAR and players who wimp out with the slightest touch,... transport me back to the days of proper football anytime
You're right (I am sad to say it)! You only had to watch a few minutes of yesterday's FA Cup Final to realise how much the rules have changed. Robot Referees with no emotion, VAR is basically HawkEye with a different name. Is it any wonder many football fans are turning their backs and seeking alternative, lower league football to follow these days?
@@stevendecube2832 I'm totally disillusioned with the game these days to be honest , ...its unrecognisable to the game I grew up loving and watching years ago,....the game with imperfections was made it so perfect to me,....but it's become this over sanitised money monster that simply leaves me cold.....I tend to get more enjoyment from non league football theses days,......its more organic and not saturated in greed that's killing the game
@@chrisevans4123 agreed, although I hate to say it I don't think things will ever go back to how they were. I know that AFC Liverpool call themselves 'affordable football' for people who were priced out from going to Anfield (which were one of the original family football working class football clubs, even before Watford did it). I've found myself following the results of a local team to where I'm living, which says it all really. Watching Match of the Day and especially yesterday's match really gets on my nerves to the point of turning the channel.
I have grown up in the 80s supporting LFC but you can't stand still in time. If we did this we would still ride horses instead of cars and air planes. We as people species move on with the times.
Well said guy's 👍.. Standing on the terraces, 14/15man squads, 2 subs etc ect .. Those really were the day's! I almost don't recognize the game now, Var, money & the woke brigade have conspired to ruin it!
An absolute gem of a programme . George on the mic as he is still now , Golden Goal tickets I remember them, people calling the club for scores as was pointed out in a previous comment , the pink newspaper in the 80's after the match . Standing on the kop , pools coupons and the scores on the side of the pitch instead of adverts (the A-Z blocks) Also the days when the juniors cleaned the players boots and it was a honour back then to say for example I clean Kevin Keagan's boots....can you imagine that now.
Even though I'm a Manchester United fan, I'd rather watch this than what passes for football nowadays.
I think many would agree with you
Was waiting for you to show up. Two great kits back then and all
Lifelong red and I can’t believe I’ve never seen this footage before.
Do you both live in Liverpool..?
@@Roscoe.P.Coldchain not anymore. Why do you ask?

Up the Tories
Me neither. Loved it
Great video. How times have changed!
Leeds here. As a lad in the 70s/80s, we were part of the "City Schoolboys" network where we travelled around the country playing each others' teams. Always against the best players chosen for their representative city teams. Our most difficult, yet most respected opponents were Liverpool Boys and Newcastle, also Salford. We had a good solid squad in those years- 78-83. Liverpool boys in 78 and 82 (at Elland Road where we won 3-2) I think... were the best team we played. Good memories. 🙂
Bob Paisley had been at LFC since BEFORE WW2. Amazing.
John Smith's first game....1923!
A great watch even from a United fan I remember those days well when football was for the fans , it’s sold it’s soul and is now pure tv theatrics
I
What a amazing video
Its always great to see Kevin keegan,he and John Toshack were a lethal partnership.👍
I can’t believe I’ve never seen this. Excellent
How things have changed since then , it seems things were so simple then ,and anfield seems such a down to earth club ,mark lufc
My club liverpool. I love forever ❤❤❤❤
All youngsters should be made to watch this!!! So they realise that Football didn't start with Sky and the Prem!!!!
That was still football. Liverpool had a super team and a great crowd in the 1970s. Back then, all the players were from Wales, England, Scotland, Ireland, Northern Ireland. Today, only a few players still play from Great Britain. Today only snobs play who don't identify with the club. I live in South Tyrol (Italy) and was a big fan of AFC Liverpool in the 1970s. Thank you for the good times and for AFC Liverpool. 😀😃🤩
Thanks... love it
Awesome throwback, telling a Liverpool FC story!
"Two for the Kop" magical words.
£3 😂
Two for the Kop at a price fans could afford. Times have changed, love for the club is constant.
Kop terrace full of teenagers, but sadly not now.
Wonderful days. Even in the 80s I remember the players coming to our social club. Players that had won the title and double sitting with kids on their laps having a pint with normal working men.
That was the very best time to be a football fan. I count myself very lucky to have been a teenage Red on the Spion Kop in those amazing times.
What an amazing piece of footage. Archives like these fascinate me, it's like watching a different club, sport, and even society. If we want be honest with ourselves, we have to admit that this conservative culture, explained by John Smith, is also what led to the club's decline in the early 90s. The club managed poorly the transition to modern football, something MU did perfectly by being proactive, which allowed them to take over. If you went to Old Trafford in the late 80s, you could see that they were already in place for it. Modern services had already been developed there, and discussions about a massive expansion were already taking place. No one imagined that this shift in power could happen, but in reality it was all written in stone.
Wowwwww, takes me back to being 10
years of age . Hanging around the car park for autographs and queuing up for tickets💥💥💥💥❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🥲🥲 YNWA
I remember as a youngster (a bit later in the 80s) ringing the Liverpool club premium number for latest news on the team then wondering why my day went bonkers over the phone bill. I can hear the little intro now🎵🎵 Liverpool Clubcall🎵🎵
Who else remember J.Toshack managing Real Madrid?
11:45 - P.Thompson, assistant to Houllier and a great stand-in when Houllier wasn't in gud health.
Emlyn had decent spell as a manager.
Kevin Keegan had good spell at Newcastle and became an England manger.
Phil Neal was an assistant to Graham Taylor (Yes boss).
Steve Highway was youth coach at Liverpool for years.
Anyone else I've forgotten?
Ray Clemence was goalkeeping coach for England.
What legends Joe & Ronnie were, running with the players in training, working on the treatment tables afterwards, laying out kits...they'd have done anything for Liverpool Football Club without first asking for a pound, better times in so many ways.
Wow this is awesome. How basic were the conditions back then . The pitch looked terrible… and one substitute. How would teams today cope!
NOT TO GOOD.
Half time hair styles
YNWA , Wishing you all the best , good health and happiness.
Wow amazing video how things have changed . This is why a love this club
1970s is a world away. These guys remind me of my dad...totally different attitude and outlook - simplicity and practicality in their thinking. Be smart, look smart, get on with it.
Saving the whales and ozone layer concerns are still another decade away.
Imagine dropping Mario Balotelli into 1977 Liverpool FC 😜
I saw Liverpool in 1977 in Scotland. What a team they had.
How much do you think Bob would be worth these days ? He would chased around the world all the big teams would want him . Thankfully he stayed one of us
That's Walter Orr in the ticket office my mum and Dad's best friend no longer with us sadly , lived in Mirriam Rd with his wife Edna , worked on turnstiles with my Dad
I always remember him playing an open game in the 1977 FA Cup Final. He could have easily put on a Liverpool 0-0 bore show like he dished up at O.T. year after year. But he seemed to realise that people were tuning into a spectacle. It lost them the Treble but I admire him for giving it a go.
Bob had no choice.
We had to win or loose the Cup Final on Saturday, a draw would have been a disaster.
Believe it or not, the replay was scheduled for next Wednesday.
The very same night we were supposed to be playing in Rome!
You couldn't make this sh!t up, but it is true.
@@philipritson8821 Those were the days when getting European matches played and out of the way mattered so we could get on with the important domestic side of our game. (Classic example: Liverpool Vs Anderlecht at Anfield in thick fog because rescheduling would cause too much of a backlog). Nowadays, football bodies can't make enough extra fixtures to rake-in as much money as possible.
Brings a tear to my eye that these people made the foundations of our great club starting with Shankly obviously
Iam french and fan of st Etienne. I love Liverpool. Oh keagan what a player👍👍👍💪💪💪
This is brilliant
Frightening to think that the days of Dalglish, McDermott, Kennedy etc are nearly 50 years ago - in those days you are in the school playground kicking a ball around pretending to be them and now well into middle age
Kenny was always my favourite best player ever to puii on the red shirt
Two for the Kop and hands a fiver over and gets change!! How times have changed they were golden days sadly of which we’ll never see again!!
As a United fan, I love seeing old footage like this you can see that LFC was these people's lives they love their club and I respect that the game is very commercialized these days if I could pick a handful of real traditional clubs in this country LFC would be one of them.
I was so lucky to get to see them at this time
And they didn't try to rip you off at the same time
Thank you God!
i've learned pretty much of english soccer from shoot megazine, fancied man u as my fav choice but liverpool is no doubt a league great contenders in div 1 that years. a year later kevin keegan moved to hamburg sv in west germany at that time. comes a great era of sir kenny daglish, filling keegan post as ultimate goals machine. i really treasured those moment.
77,, I was 1.
Just starting my life as a LIVERPOOL FOOTBALL CLUB FAN..
