- HIghlights of the First Division match between Wolves and Liverpool at Molineux on27th January 1973.
The 1972-73 season showcased the abilities of the Wolves team with a 5th placed finish in the league and semi-final appearances in both the FA and League Cups. The season was also a personal success for Wolves striker John Richards. His 36 League and Cup goals were suitably rewarded with the Young Player of the Year award for 1973 and also a cap for England at the end of the season. Richards had formed a highly successful partnership with Derek Dougan and 'The Doog' contributed 17 league and cup goals for the season.
The Wolves strikers were supported by a highly capable midfield, led by inspirational captain Mike Bailey, with the very efficient Jim McCalliog as Bailey's partner in the centre of midfield and the creative talents of left winger Dave Wagstaffe and Kenny Hibbitt on opposite flanks. Wolves were fortunate to have good cover in reserve in Barry Powell, the versatile Alan Sunderland and the enigmatic Danny Hegan. For the match against Liverpool, Wolves manager Bill McGarry made a few enforced changes through injuries and suspension; defender Bernard Shaw was selected in the central midfield position usually occupied by Mike Bailey or Danny Hegan and Alan Sunderland had replaced Kenny Hibbitt on the right side of midfield. In addition, centre-half John McAlle had been selected by McGarry to fill Derek Parkin's usual left-back position with Derek Jefferson replacing McAlle at centre-half.
Prior to the match at Molineux, Liverpool were leading the First Division by a 3 point margin over Arsenal, a position maintained until the end of the season as Bill Shankly delivered his third First Division championship to Liverpool in his penultimate season as manager. Liverpool also won the UEFA Cup following the two-legged defeat of Borussia Mönchengladbach. Shankly was able to field a largely settled team throughout the 1972-73 season, forming a defence that conceded the fewest goals in the division with goalkeeper Ray Clemence keeping 26 clean sheets and, in attack, scoring the most goals with Kevin Keegan scoring 22 league and cup goals as part of his prolific partnership with John Toshack.
Originally broadcast by ATV Star Soccer with Hugh Johns as commentator.
What a terrific player Dave Wagstaffe was!
Seeing an Action Replay of the first goal is brilliant.
I miss the old commentators because they actually commented on the game. They didn’t act like they were pundits for most of the game
What a side we had back then - total quality, front to back!
Those were the days when players just got on with it. I was 15 years old and still remember how this Wolves side played. Modern players would find it tough on those old wet heavy pitches with no time to put their nail varnish on.
No diving, no "game management", heavy football, mostly English players, a quagmire of a pitch and long hair. Proper football!
The Molineux pitch was never a 'quagmire' ? Always well looked after by quality groundsmen. Heavy, yes, when the weather was inclement, but that was most pitches. You want to see a 'quagmire' of a pitch, take a look at the old Baseball Ground pitch, home of Derby County, late Sixties, Seventies!!
Glen quagmire?
I was 11 when this was played. Big Liverpool fan , still am, though at that time i always liked Wolves , loved the kit , and the players , Richards , Dougan , Hibbit , great to hear commentator Hugh Johns again
Hugh Johns - one of the great voices of 1970s football on tv.
Star Soccer, every Sunday afternoon.
My favourite.
Unbelievable that Lloyd didn't get sent off for that "professional" foul on Derek Dougan. But that was the 70s for you. Loved the Hugh Johns commentary.
VAR was broke that day bro lol
Ha ha yes unbelievable!
1973, not even a foul 😂
70s Star Soccer with Hugh Johns👍 Sunday afternoon whole family would sitting and watching on the black and white tele in Spore.
Thing is, the game was still based on rules from the late 19th century when it was played by amateur public school boys that assumed an honorable gentleman would never cheat to gain an advantage to win. The outcry over the 1980 FA cup final led to Jimmy Hill pushing the professional foul rule meaning a red card for a clear attempt to block a goal scoring opportunity.
I was there, as I was for most Wolves home games when I was a schoolkid. Happy times.
What a voice from my formative years-if he had been a teacher I would have payed attention in his classes-
Great to see the great Derick Duggan again-22 British people on 2 teams!!
That voice reminding me everything about my youth!!
Three sending offs there with that assault on 'The Doog'!!! 🧡🖤🧡
Goal scored...hand shake, a thumbs up, a pat on the shoulder or even on the arse. Nowadays they kiss and all sorts of hugging. Loved the 70s, there was so little football on the telly back then you'd watch any highlights of any game and if it was your team you were away.
I was 8 y.o. and remember the 70s stars so well. Special Liverpool 1973-79..
Hugh Johns, one of my favourite commentators, rate him up there with Brian Moore
Great memories! I remember looking at the pitch as a boy before a match, shivering with excitement, wondering if I would ever get to play on it and thinking that I had never seen such a beautiful shade of green in my life. Up the Wolves!
Wonderful memories of a Wolves team arguably at their strongest, brilliant wing work from Wagstaffe, Richards' ball skills and speed, the ever awesome and much missed Doog, Jim Mcalliog, John McAlle, Alan Sunderland, Phil Parkes....simply fantastic. Thank you Mercian 1969.
FRANKIE MONROE.
@@stuartmorton1279 Parkes the goalkeeper was a defiant ite weak link in that great Wolves side.
Indeed. 'Waggy' was a very underated traditional left winger. A mazy runner, dribbler and perfectionist in crossing the ball for 'The Doog' to nod on to Richards, whom, with his speed, would invariably go on to put the ball in the net. A really good and sound side, managed to its highest degree by Bill McGarry and his second in charge, Sammy Chung. The pinnacle being the UEFA Cup Final Two legged tie against Spurs in '72. We lost on aggregate, arguably though, and even Bill Nicholson the Spurs manager stated afterwards, that the best side had lost! Great Days for the Wolves, and football in general then.
Love that shot of Duggan getting up after being thrown to the ground by Lloyd. Great times.
The doog and John Richards
Great partnership.
Jim mcalliog great player.
Wagstaffe great winger.
The doog played for Ireland with
The great George best....
And at besties funeral
The doog was a pall bearer for his freind.
Proper men , proper game of football unlike now days . Can u imagine how far a modern day player would of rolled on the ground after Larry Lloyd’s tackle 🙄😆
'Tackle'?? Bleedin' assault more like!!!
'tackle'??? Gbh more like!!!
Commentator Hugh Johns was the best football commentator of all time.
Give me any of the 70's commentators - David Coleman, Hugh Johns, Motty, Sinstadt, Barry Davies, even Brian Moore when it wasn't West Ham ;) . Commentators today are generally awful.
@@anthonymcgann459 gerry harrison was also a great commentator
Agree the commentators sound very alike and they are too opinionated especially Mr Pearce on BBC1.
Great reproduction picture for 73, great game, great commentary, just wish the football and honesty was the same as it was then!
Great football Wv. Liverpool always difficult rival. Meritorious. Thanks for remember me what football is...
Emlyn scoring for Wolves that far back. God he must've loved them.
Wagstaff was a kind of Archie Gemmill, low centre of gravity; I think players like him were made for a heavy pitch. If you drank too much beer and too many cigs back then you were found wanting on a pitch like that. Richards goal was class; great days great upload cheers!😊
Thanks heaps for uploading this, and for the excellent description setting the scene for the game. I was at this game, 8 years old at the time and in the North Bank. Some of my best childhood memories are at Molineux. Dave Wagstaffe and Frank Munro and their families lived across the road from me at that time, and I was friends with their kids. I think this was Emlyns first goal for Wolves (!), and wasn't Lloydd lucky not to have committed that foul under more modern rules. Great days...
What made fall in love with British football a part from my family loyalty is the commentating... God I can never get enough of it. Always wanted to play in the English league, just so I can imagine the commentator calling my name after I score hhhh. Great days great league and it still is!!!
you can hear how heavy the ball was then even with a pass,classiccraig from nz
"The defender has stabbed the forward with a 10 inch knife, I am sure that will be a booking"
I went to this, on the special from Lime St, behind the goal, South Stand I think.Always great to hear Hugh Johns. Thanks for showing it.
Must of been rough visiting the Molineux in those days?
Good lad , one of my older brothers used to go to alot of away matches , season ticket holder , he was there at molyneux when we won the league 1976 , lets hope we win it this season , cant see us throwin it now , cmon you redmen ✊
loved the simpler times
I absolutely love the muted goal celebrations. So classy!
I was at this game. I was doing my basic training at RAF Cosford so a gang of us went to watch it. You cant do that now.
Those were the days my friend, we'd thought they'd never end UTW and KTF
Commentators back then were so much better than now
Proxylfc is
I totally agree that commentators in those days were much better than those of 2day.
Was it Brian Moore commentating ?
Was Hugh Johns
Yep now you’ve said it I remember , cheers 👍
Wolves played some very good stuff here, against one of Shankly's best Liverpool teams.
As a Scot, I always thought Liverpool were called "Toshack , Keegan, One Nil!!!!!"
Or is that 2 nil?
David Coleman, the master of bullshit!
As a Liverpool fan who experienced the great eras of 60s onward, and now having to see these awful players, and lousy management, I sympathize and understand your comment, back in those days, players were passionate and dedicated now it's just a job, even though we beat fulham 4-0 today, still not an Emlyn, Keegan, St.John Dalglish sort of day. In this vid, so nice to see the legendery Derek Dougan, saw the man many times
AudioAndVisualClub mu
Looking up a bit for you now though, good luck in the CL Final
That was a beautiful Liverpool kit
They played on cow paddocks in those days. Amazing ball control and speed of play.
Even in 1973 they knew the ball had crossed the line.
Brilliant!...... Great to hear Hugh 'One nothing'' Johns again
They always shook hands after scoring. Very gentlemen like😀
Very
A look back at the glory days.. Not much diving going on there.
best game ever was from those days
Man Utd v Spurs ( from the film Kes )
...with the fair-haired, slightly balding Charlton...
Clicked to see the legend that is Doog
I loved the commentary when Lloyd hauls him down when clean through and Hugh John's screams ....that's got to be a ....BOOKING HAHAHAHA
thrown to the ground at got straight back up, obviously they didn;t have snipers on the stands like they do these days :P
I've forgotten what it's like to watch football matches and crowds recently.
Hugh Johns was a fantastic commentator.
The pitch is so gorgeous!
Those were the days when you know who was playing week by week, now with all the transfers and foreign players , I don't even know who plays for the Arsenal any more!
What is Arsenal? :)
Closet racist right here
@@Mahihadi1 stating the obvious is racist.
@@Mahihadi1 racist?? Nah he's telling the truth.... The truth will always be decline...
@@natural_law Behave, Britain has invaded more than anyone. There are more Brits in other countries than non Brits in the U.K, but you won't see them crying over it.
Keegan knocks it in with his sideburns lol
Cracking sideburns on Larry Lloyd.
The old South bank at Molineaux held more fans than the Kop.
Centre circle looks like Battle of the Somme field
It’s called ‘no mans land’
I recall seeing Derby's Baseball Ground it seemed to always be in a worse state.
That wasn’t a bad pitch. On some grounds it use to be spot the blade of grass by late winter. 😀
world class foul by Larry Lloyd there..old school pitch too.
An abominable deed.
He'd get a 4 match ban for that today
@@anthonymcgann459 Quite right too. Professional fouls were commonplace back then, all a player got for stopping an almost certain goal was a booking.
Yep. Typical cheating RS. It's a club tradition.
Skill was down the list of football attributes on those pitches. The ability to run through walls and not complain while being kicked to pieces rated higher. On the other hand players knew where they club they were signing for was located, and a good percentage were from the local area.
Plenty of skilful players around then. A chap called Dave Wagstaffe left winger, performed rather well for Wolves on 'those pitches', amongst many others in those great days.
I agree. Great commentary. Makes you cringe when you think of the burkes that do it now.
Well played wolves well deserved
Gardecschool boy watching Toshack and Keegan terrorize English football. Have been a liverpool fan ever since.
I was there wolves did well few years later if I remember night game Liverpool won the league at wolves that was class game.great ground fans players pitch hahahaha .I Liverpool fan remember Keegan toshack duo.johny Richard s quality to.dd a true legend British at its best and never forgotten
Spot on Kenny,
That Liverpool title winning game was my first ever. I was 8/9 with my Dad, I remember the South Bank being totally full of Liverpool fans as though the Kop had come down to Molineux.
The occasion, atmosphere, floodlights and the noise got me hooked.
Still a Molineux season ticket holder to this day in my late 50's...Great Memories.
Wonderful surfaces in those days.
I was at the match. My only visit to Molineux.
unbelievable the state of the pitches back then. By 3.50 they can barely stand up. Can you imagine todays prima-donnas on pitches like this?
Despite all the endorsements, TV money, modern technology in playing surfaces, superstar players, advances in fitness and diet, football at that time had more raw emotion. It was still a man's game then: that foul on a clear - through Derek Doogan would have been an automatic red today. Doogan got up as if nothing had happened; no simulated card - wagging. If the Liverpool of today, with Mane, Salah and Firminho, we're to go up against that '73 team, I'd pick the earlier lot. Of course, the moderns, like spoiled schoolgirls, would be collapsing screaming and clutching their limbs every 5 minutes and it would have to be an old - school referee in charge.
Your so right, don't like all the side ways passing of the modern game, prefer Mr Cullis way get the ball into the oppents goal area with the minimum of passes
i love wolves an when steve bull was the gole skoring machine wolves are the best teem ever!!!!!!!!!
😂😂😂
Yo’ve got some Slade style spelling going on there, Jo. Must be the Wolverhampton connection :-)
Hugh Johns was a fucking god of commentating
Any of my fellow old men remember the days? When the ball was heavy as lead, and got heavier when it was wet? And the muddy pitch?
dLimboStick
Remember the Baseball Ground, Derby? You couldn't tell which team was which after a while, there was so much mud.
Leather casey with a lace up and inner tubed bladder.. Halcyon days.
@@anthonymcgann459 headline the lace hurt.
Old farts? Yes, I'm 76 and saw my first game on 24 April 1957. Chelsea v Everton and Chelsea won 5-1 so I've been a Chelsea fan ever since. It cost two shillings (10 p). In today's money that's about a fiver. Let's double it because footballers weren't paid all that well though £20 a week (£1000 a week in today's money) was quite a good salary. Having doubled it you now have to multiply it by six to get the admission price in places like Arsenal and Chelsea. That's like paying 12 quid for a Mars Bar. Sod that, then.
I have just been cured of prostate cancer and I bet that none of the brilliant staff treating me earned £200,000 a year but footballers can get that in a week. Football has turned into a giant worldwide money-making business as has lot of professional sport, its participants increasingly remote from its, er, customers. World Cup in Qatar? Come on, YMBFJ.
Sorry about the rant. I still like the game but it's all bollocks these days. Come on you Blues.
@@tonybates7870
Wasn't the Baseball Ground a farmer's field with spectator stands around it? LOL
Fucking hell seeing that pitch most prem players wouldn’t fancy that
That's it, I'm just going to have to have a 70s night one Saturday if I can find all the videos. Tiswas in the morning. Then World of Sport or Grandstand. The wrestling just before the football results. Over to BBC1, where Grandstand would just be finishing. Then down to the chip shop in time for Dr Who, then a movie. Next up would be Brucie and The Generation Game. Cilla Black or Mike Yarwood (though I might opt for The Wheel Tappers and Shunters Social Club on ITV), followed by Starsky and Hutch. Finish off with a combination of Match of the Day and Star Soccer. Hugh Johns would have to be one of the commentators. An appropriate cocktail would be a must. Just a pity I chucked my flares, penny collar shirts and tank tops in the bin decades ago. I could compensate by growing some half decent side burns a week before.
Ha ha yes superb comment - I was right there with you my friend with your eloquent reminiscing!
Limedick Andrew I could have written that word for word! Writing in April 20, I think we both have time to do this!
@@barnabassmythe6665 Yeah, I'm trying to get hold of some episodes of The Generation Game, Match of the Day and several other stuff that was regular Saturday night fare on TV in the 70s.
oh yes greatest times ever best football best comedys best cop show best ever tele !!!!
Sounds like heaven. I'd have Jim Breaks cheating to beat a clean wrestler in the grappling, and Jon Pertwee in The Mind of Evil for Dr Who or maybe Tom Baker in Robots of Death.
I was 1 day old when this match took place,as was Brendon Rodgers.
Commentated by the Great Hugh Johns !
Yep. That voice brings me right back to the 70s and Star Soccer and muddy pitches and classic football kits.
i hate alibon thay stink
Brian Moore.
Brian Moore wasn't it?
This was English football at it's best. The overpaid temporary (one season, and I'm off) foreign players are technically better (perhaps), but the haven't got the same passion as these guys had, when they put on the club's shirt.
Who is technically better those days all could triple the ball today they can't pass the ball in 3 yards
@@parisstromatias637 football is much better now
@@marknewbold2583 yes they kicked a ball of 5 pounds today they kick a ball of half a kilo
Trận đấu quay cách đây 47 năm coi còn rõ ràng, góc ,hình ảnh ...còn rộng và đẹp hơn vi lích của VN 2020 !
When I was growing up in the 1970s all this was normal - terrible pitches, fouls, and drama. I loved it. I hate the way it is so sanitised now. All about money, millionaires, models and fast motors at the training ground. I was just wondering - do any clubs today have apprentices cleaning boots?
You can add kick and run tactics and woeful ball control. Thanks, I prefer today's football.
@@fradiavolo11 yeah... The boring 99% possession puck game who ends up winning 1-0..... No crosses allowed.... And everyone must get a touch of the puck before scoring.... Lol
Emlyn Hughes was to play for Wolves in the late 70s and became captain and won the only trophy he did not win with Liverpool. The League Cup.
Yes remember crazy horse gentleman he was rip
No way Larry Lloyd would stay on the pitch for that challenge on Derek Dougan if the game was plated nowadays!
Imagine today’s pampered little darlings having to play this Wolves side , with that ball, nearly unplayable pitch, and tackles(assaults) would be interesting...can’t think how Neymar would react to having the physio cold wet magical sponge rammed down his shorts after being taken out by Tommy Smith
Alan Wayte . Ye tommy smith wouldn’t see him that’s how
Hugh Johns .. legend
hats off to the grounds man for making the pitch playable and not looking like a ploughed fuk1ng field
Now we have people like Mo Po complaining about the Wembley pitch because it has a few bobbles on it!
...that's definitely a booking for Larry Lloyd
Classic Hugh Johns commentary.
Notice that the trainer was Bob Paisley who lead them (Liverpool) to the European Cup.
Joe Fagan actually
Bob Heap
I stand corrected. Didn't get a good view.
Did Joe get a European Cup? One of the 4? Cant remember. Pretty sure Paisley was a trainer too.
He won the 1984 European cup v Roma. That same year he also won the league and league cup.
Paisley had acted as trainer but by this time was assistant manager. Liverpool was like a family in those days, and if you had talent you were able to work your way up and gain valuable experience at the same time. Ron Moran and Roy Evans were also part of that team. And I think that is what led to Liverpool dominating football for the next few years
@markyboythewolf Liverpool also picked out the Division 1 Championship that year as well. Wolves finished 5th.
Then, they had massive sideboards. Now, you can't see any flesh because of their tatoos-
How did Lloyd escape being dismissed? Pitch looked like a partly explored minefield
Same then as now he played for Liverpool.
The quality of football is abysmal, which made it so much more exciting to watch.
Great old stuff
The 1970s, when the football was better but the hair, oh my god the hair.
What about the pitch !😂😂
Hair depends on the barber. Better than the image pinickity overpaid twats we have now. Did you know that George Best in '72 was paid 150 quid a week. Matt Busby said no one will be paid £200.
Wowww
What a great.
Which football commentator had the biggest hands?
Im sure the single player who scored more goals versus Liverpool in the 1970s was one Emlyn Hughes........
Im a man u fan but good luck liverpool hope you win the double
Players used to shake hands instead of hugging.😂
Molineux was a quagmire back then, let's get the 3 points tonight Reds 🚩🚩
Great times get the tram to the game only threppeny piece 15 yards of ale before the game only 3 bob and a tanner. Hare pie before game only thrupence. Now it would cost you a €500
thou art correct. Had me tanner left for a bag of chips for the wey hoooommee
Glad Wolves won as that Larry Lloyd 'foul' was a disgrace, those should have been an instant sending off.
'Flippin-Ell!'
