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.
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 !
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.
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?
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!
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.
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
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 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!
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.
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 😂😂😂
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.
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
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 .
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)
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.
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.
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'😅
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
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
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. 🙂
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.
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.
I was and agree, it was far better than today. Hard tackles as well and most players got on with it. Prices very different as well. I used to get in to the under 12s for a £1 until I was about 15!
Liverpool won the European Cup in 1977 with 14 English, 1 Irish (from Skem) and 1 Welsh in the squad. 7 Scousers in there. Breaks my heart that fans today don't give a damn that local players are not in the team. Once the team is winning. For me I identify more with local players and football was better when it was tribal. Back then too the players generally played in the reserves so came up with the club to some extent.
Brilliant footage. Have seen bits of it before but never the whole thing. From Tommy Smith in the car park, to the price of the tickets, and trying to find a grass training surface in Rome… it’s all from another era. And l miss it all. Except for Thommo’s wet patch 😂
@@andymacfaul2852 same. Weird how the BBC just pull bits and never show the full 16 minutes. Keegan on the bus was on the history video for example - just that. The Kop was brilliant in 1977 - we had about 15 new songs in the lead up to Rome. That's where the Kop's reputation is cemented. No one came close. Pity they never covered the Kop, stuck a mic in there. And strange how they never covered Keegan's goal. Two great kits but we should have beaten them at Wembley. it still hurts. Great interview with John Smith who it seems first went to Anfield in 1923!
My father used to write off to various football clubs on my behalf back in the late 70s asking them if they could sign a sheet that he sent them. He also sent a self addressed stamped envelope for return as well. All teams replied including Arsenal, QPR, Spurs, Liverpool, West Ham and even England when they were playing a match at Wembley. They didn't always get the whole team to sign but I got the majority of signatures. You're right, I doubt very much teams would do it today, and if they did would probably charge you for it.
They will do it actually, the difficult part is getting access to the right people to ask. I've heard innumerable stories of players passing through the club shop and stopping to chat to kids in there, and in some cases buying them a kit, boots, etc...
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 😜
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.
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
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.
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🎵🎵
Never knew about this short documentary, seen couple clips before Tommy Smith arguing with the driver and Thommo and Johnson on the stand never knew they was from this
I’m a Man U fan. Fair play to Liverpool. Not built on money. The game is sickening now.
Its ruined the game now .
Where you from 😂
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.
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 👍🥊👍
Football couldn't be more different these days. I think it's a great "product" now but it really was the working man's game then.

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.
I went to anfield this past weekend for the villa game, its hard to believe its the same place!
This is a gem what a wonderful film. So many memories this is special.
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
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 .
A magical slice of sporting history.
Just seeing and hearing Bob talk about my team just brings a tear to my eye.A wonderful time to be a Red.
This is great. Really good quality as well. Didn't realise Liverpool came so close to the treble in '77.
Some special moments caught on tape . Legends to a man . UTR
All youngsters should be made to watch this!!! So they realise that Football didn't start with Sky and the Prem!!!!
"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.
I can’t believe I’ve never seen this. Excellent
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)
Wonderful glimpse into the family club. What a man Paisley was..
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.
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.
great video, I could watch these all day, simpler times.
this was the year he left and broke my heart
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 ❤❤❤❤
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.
This is just amazing, loved it!
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 saw Liverpool in 1977 in Scotland. What a team they had.
Its always great to see Kevin keegan,he and John Toshack were a lethal partnership.👍
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
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
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
Bob Paisley great manager and humble down to earth
When football was football and when men where men.
And Liverpool was Liverpool using British players. RIP LIVERPOOL ❤️
Wowwwww, takes me back to being 10
years of age . Hanging around the car park for autographs and queuing up for tickets💥💥💥💥❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🥲🥲 YNWA
Great video, great memories even though I don’t support Liverpool, brilliant to watch
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. 🙂
What a amazing video
Tottenham fan here, I get why LFC are special, even more so after watching this
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.
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.
I wish i was born in this generation proper football
I was and agree, it was far better than today. Hard tackles as well and most players got on with it. Prices very different as well. I used to get in to the under 12s for a £1 until I was about 15!
@@digeme69 3 pound for two tickets 😂😂 add two 0s on the end for these days
Liverpool won the European Cup in 1977 with 14 English, 1 Irish (from Skem) and 1 Welsh in the squad. 7 Scousers in there. Breaks my heart that fans today don't give a damn that local players are not in the team. Once the team is winning. For me I identify more with local players and football was better when it was tribal. Back then too the players generally played in the reserves so came up with the club to some extent.
Brilliant footage. Have seen bits of it before but never the whole thing. From Tommy Smith in the car park, to the price of the tickets, and trying to find a grass training surface in Rome… it’s all from another era. And l miss it all. Except for Thommo’s wet patch 😂
@@andymacfaul2852 same. Weird how the BBC just pull bits and never show the full 16 minutes. Keegan on the bus was on the history video for example - just that. The Kop was brilliant in 1977 - we had about 15 new songs in the lead up to Rome. That's where the Kop's reputation is cemented. No one came close. Pity they never covered the Kop, stuck a mic in there. And strange how they never covered Keegan's goal. Two great kits but we should have beaten them at Wembley. it still hurts. Great interview with John Smith who it seems first went to Anfield in 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
Great video. How times have changed!
I was 12 in 1977 and my mum sent a blank birthday card to Anfield and they all signed it...can't imagine they'd do that now.
My father used to write off to various football clubs on my behalf back in the late 70s asking them if they could sign a sheet that he sent them. He also sent a self addressed stamped envelope for return as well. All teams replied including Arsenal, QPR, Spurs, Liverpool, West Ham and even England when they were playing a match at Wembley. They didn't always get the whole team to sign but I got the majority of signatures. You're right, I doubt very much teams would do it today, and if they did would probably charge you for it.
They will do it actually, the difficult part is getting access to the right people to ask.
I've heard innumerable stories of players passing through the club shop and stopping to chat to kids in there, and in some cases buying them a kit, boots, etc...
I don't know how much i love tommy Smith
Thanks... love it
Brilliant
YNWA , Wishing you all the best , good health and happiness.
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 😜
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.
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
Keegan went on to win European player of the year award two years in a row.
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
Burning the rubbish in the corners gave me a chuckle. Not sure the Anfield staff would be happy with that these days :)
if everton lose on sunday we are burning the fuckin ground down
Health and safety standards wouldn't allow that today
Yes, pre woke
Crazy to see that from todays standard,it's mad no one saw the Bradford fire coming at some point
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.
Well done surviving this year - best of luck buddy and thanks for the comment - made me smile
The FA Cup semi final that year. I think you may have been robbed, tbh.
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.
Moran and Fagan, legends
Shankly, Paisley,Fagan,Moran,Dalglish.What a bunch of Liverpool madness!!!
Awesome throwback, telling a Liverpool FC story!
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
77,, I was 1.
Just starting my life as a LIVERPOOL FOOTBALL CLUB FAN..
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.
The "no change" play is what sprung the 70s success for the Reds.
Yep. What's the team for today, Mr Shankly?
Same as last week, son.
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🎵🎵
The happiest days of my life.Climbing the steep stairs at the back of the kop at 12.00 and being the only person there😮.
sure you not getting mixed up with Goodison :-)
Who’s seeing this for the first time ?
Never knew about this short documentary, seen couple clips before Tommy Smith arguing with the driver and Thommo and Johnson on the stand never knew they was from this
@@jonblazeinc it looks like this is part of an even longer program. Would love to see the rest
@@calevy100 yeah hope I can watch it if it's around somewhere
seems like a different world
Love it. Enough said. ♥
