100% mate, especially when we went through the whole of 1990s with the FA Cup under Souness and EFL Cup under Evans. Houllier kicked start our resurrection in 2000, followed by Rafa then we down grade to Hodgson. Only under Roy Hodgson and Brendan Rodgers we haven't won a thing ... dat is fcukin pathetic being a LFC gaffer. Imagine, a retired King Kenny got us into FA Cup final and won the EFL Cup in just a season in charge. Now .... Klopp era is upon us.
Michael Owen. Generational talent and truly blessed to have him as my boyhood hero! I even had a massive happy 30th birthday wish from him. He made me fall in love with Liverpool. What a time.
@@liamooks he wanted to go to Real Madrid. Rafa and the rest of the club wanted him to stay but his mind was made up, he handed in a transfer request when Real put a bid in.
Owen wanted to leave because Real Madrid were starting the Galacticos & seeked an easy passage to win the CL. But, to his dismay, Liverpool won it that very same year he left!LOL! Anyway, he wasn't half the player he was in 2001 & didn't do well in Spain.He was shipped to Newcastle & then chose to betray us even further when he pulled on a Scumchester Utd shirt. True Scousers will never forgive him for that.
@@James-hh1lq champions of the world wouldn't class it as a major trophy as you mainly playing against a Brazil Mexican or Argentine team it not like it's not like Liverpool head to be all best European teams then beat Brazil Mexican or Argentine team
Two good sides. Seeing Owen and Fowler playing together is great to see, both great goal scorers. I saw them in an earlier round when Liverpool played Tranmere Rovers at Prenton Park.
It takes a player of Owen's predatory calibre to put away a winner like that, but my God what about that incredible long range assist from Berger? Genius.
RIP Gerard Houllier. I was reliving this amazing season earlier on this year, the season I first got into supporting Liverpool. Great memories. And that Barry Davies commentary is sooo nostalgic!
Though it's not like he went to United at his peak. It was the end of his career, he just wanted to play for the best manager in the premier league. He would have never gone there directly from Liverpool. Injuries messed up his career.
Jamil Uddin Totally agree with you.Those saying otherwise don't understand what it means to be a true Red. He's a traitor & in my book should be shot between the eyes.( maybe not.LOL.)
I was seated just behind where that throw-in was taken at 0:52. Even from there I could see that Henchoz handball clear as day. The match officials absolutely cheated Arsenal out of a trophy that day. Should have been a red card and a penalty.
I was there on that special day. Met Phil Neal on the train going down to the game. Came home with a black eye after the crazy second goal celebration. Still don't remember how I got it.🤣
Arsenal were by far the better team in this match, think most Liverpool fans would admit that. Then in 2005 Man Utd outplayed Arsenal but the Gunners lifted the cup, funny how it works out
Lowkey observation. I always thought Cup finals in the Millenium Stadium were better than Cup finals in Wembley. The Wembley pitches had for the most part been terrible.
Good article in the Echo today about Owen's situation after leaving Liverpool and how he tried to come back several times. LFC then, when he first left, and when he wasn't brought back, were a mess and too stupid to get it done. He wasn't that badly injured before he went to Newcastle, and it was at a time when they would have entire teams on the injured list. That last chance at the end is a small indicator of Fowler after the injuries. I know he hadn't been playing much and had come off the bench here, so not entirely fair, but before the injuries there would have been no hesitation or question about what happens next - would either be bang straight in the back of the net or right across to the back post for Owen. Either result would have made this even more f-ing brilliant.
As a Spurs fan, I loved when Owen scored that 2nd goal, Arsenal fans were crying. I always admired Owen and he was one of my favourite players, I always wished we had him at Spurs. I remember when, Michael Owen ripped apart Argentina in the world Cup, destroyed Germany in their own ground and scored a hat-trick. Scored 2 goals in an FA Cup Final, against the famous back 5 of Arsenal. This was one of the most exciting young English players we have ever seen. The season he won the Ballon'Dor, he scored 31 goals, won the League Cup, FA Cup, UEFA Cup, Charity Shield and the UEFA Super Cup. Then to finish it off, he scored that famous hat-trick away at Germany, when England won 5-1. That is why he played for Real Madrid, Liverpool and Man Utd. He scored 16 Goals in his first season for Madrid, while he was mostly sub, the boy was a wonder kid. First English Player to win a Ballon D'Or since Kevin Keegan, 22 years ago at the time. Since Owen won it, no English player has won it. It wasn't even close, Owen beat Raul to the Ballon D'Or by a big 36 point margin. He was only 21, yet was up against some of the best players we have ever seen play the game. If Owen had stayed injury free, he would of scored a lot more goals. When he left Liverpool at the age of 24, he had already scored 158 Goals for them. That's how prolific and good he was. He is even 6th all time top scorer for England, with 40 goals in 89 games. He scored 4 at the World Cups he played in. Now compare it to say Rooney, he scored 53 goals in 120 games,. While only score one goal, at the World Cups he played in. So that shows at the young age he was, how unbelievable he was. If you had the first 7 years of Owen, in his last 7 years, he would of broke all records.
I bloody love Owen for winning this game for us. In other news: In the 4th round Everton were trounced 3-0 at home by Tranmere and Man Yoo lost at home to West Ham 1-0. In the 5th round we beat Man Citehhh 4-2. Great times.
Arsenal fan here and still to this day this one hurts 😔. Remember we dominated Liverpool most of the game and had so many chances and didn’t take them 😮. For me as an Arsenal fan I’d say it’s our most painful defeat against Liverpool and it definitely left a mark 😔. We the next season responded with a Premier League and FA Cup double and of course a title win at Old Trafford 😁 I’m sure even Liverpool fans reading will take satisfaction 😌. I don’t know about anyone else but I always look forward to Arsenal vs Liverpool games 😮 because 9 times out of 10 they’re just pure football matches how they should be played 🙂. FA Cup is always a trophy I want to win! Nowadays fans have been brainwashed by all the corporates and media to focus on the business side of the game but I stick with tradition and that’s winning trophies 🏆. FA Cup for me is still as big as it always was and always will be 🙂
Don't know who our keeper was that day but he was shocking. Never seen someone come off their line so much and not get anywhere near the ball. Some good defending off the line and Owen was what won it for us in the end though
As a Liverpool supporter, I obviously was delirious with the comeback, but this was so close to actual robbery Fowler should have accepted the trophy dressed as The Hamburglar.
Honestly, if VAR existed at that time,Henchoz should have been sent off and a penalty should have been taken against LFC. Yet, referees makes mistakes in favor and against all teams.
I remember watching this and Arsenal battered us. Then Owen decided he fancied a winners medal. What a finish that second was.
RIP Gerard Houllier. 2001 gave me some of my best times as a LFC fan!
Amazing memories. The first season I followed Liverpool.
He literally nearly died for us as manager and that just shows what the Premiership can do to you when your that passionate (R.I.P Gerrard H you gave everything for the club and you will always be loved and respected by us the fans and the city of Liverpool💯❤️🙏🏾⚽️🏆👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾)

Who let the reds out….,RIP Gerard
Alaves in Dortmund
If 2006 Fa cup final is the Steven Gerrard final. This is the Michael Owen final. Used to adore him so much. 💓💖
Next is t.a.a
Steven first goal for 2-2 against WHU, is similar to Owen first goal in this final.
The pass from Paddy Berger for the second goal is so overlooked. Brilliant player
Michael Owen. Generational talent and truly blessed to have him as my boyhood hero!
I even had a massive happy 30th birthday wish from him. He made me fall in love with Liverpool. What a time.
This was the game where I fell in love with my footballing hero. Michael owen. What he could of been if he had stayed
By the time he left he'd lost his speed due to hamstring problems.
He didn’t want to leave, Rafa sold him
@@liamooks he wanted to go to Real Madrid. Rafa and the rest of the club wanted him to stay but his mind was made up, he handed in a transfer request when Real put a bid in.

True Scousers will never forgive him for that.
@@niallmaw2315 He was give very less chances.
One of Gerard Houllier's finest moments as Liverpool manager in that time. Got Michael Owen scoring for fun in this cup final.
RIP Gerard Houllier
What a season that was, cup treble and Champions League qualifiers. Amazing times. That away kit was a beauty as well.
Even better times now champions of eorope, champions of the world, and of course Premier league champions
@@James-hh1lq champions of the world wouldn't class it as a major trophy as you mainly playing against a Brazil Mexican or Argentine team

Go gunners
@@stevesalkas533You mean bottlers, it’s the arsenal way.
4:26 As mentioned by John Barnes, the reason I love big Sami Hyypia so much for his on field prowess, as well as his humility and team spirit.
How did the ref not give handball from Henry's shot in the 1st half ? He was 5 yards away.
RIP Gerard Houllier. I was reliving this amazing season earlier on this year, the season I first got into supporting Liverpool. Great memories. And that Barry Davies commentary is sooo nostalgic!
It isn't Barry davies lol
It's Peter Brackley (RIP) doing commentary.
Great memories, scorching hot day and a team that never gave up that season
RIP Gérard! Thank you for the memories!
that young Henry was scary af
Him and owen best strikers for a while
As an Arsenal fan young Owen had us scared whenever we played at Anfield back then 😂
Back when i use to love Owen before he became a traitor and got on my nerves by joining Scumchester United, YNWA ❤
He betrayed but still he did a lot for Liverpool and we should respect him for that.
Though it's not like he went to United at his peak. It was the end of his career, he just wanted to play for the best manager in the premier league. He would have never gone there directly from Liverpool. Injuries messed up his career.
Sums it up really
@@chinmayhawaldar9209 Also he supposedly desperately wanted to come back to Liverpool, but we didn't want him
Jamil Uddin
Totally agree with you.Those saying otherwise don't understand what it means to be a true Red.
He's a traitor & in my book should be shot between the eyes.( maybe not.LOL.)
Michael Owen was Mbappe before Mbappe
Very true

With love & respect to Gerard Houllier. 1947-2020, thanks for the memories...
Great times. As Houllier used to say ‘5 trophies in one calendar year”.
Liverpool seemed to have many goalkeepers.😂😂😂I’m very fan of them. from Japan
*Michael Owen's Cup Final*
I was there on that special day. Met Phil Neal on the train going down to the game. Came home with a black eye after the crazy second goal celebration. Still don't remember how I got it.🤣

One of the great FA Cup finals. Rest In Peace Mr. Houllier.
Seen better
On some occasions the will to win is more important than the skill to win - Houllier
apart from the prem title season every trophy liverpool. have won since he said this has been true of his words
What a goalkeeping performance by Henchoz
Red card + penalty
RIP Gerard houellier❤️🙏🏻YNWA
Lowkey observation. I always thought Cup finals in the Millenium Stadium were better than Cup finals in Wembley. The Wembley pitches had for the most part been terrible.
The boy is a genius!
As a Liverpool fan, I thought arsenal should have had 2 penalties, and they played better, but Owen was at his best then. YnwA.
0:51
A penalty and a red card, Liverpool should have never won that game.
It hit the post...
Liverpool: It's better late then never
Michael Owen is the reason I started supporting Liverpool.
3:12, Gerrard+Owen+Fowler What A Combination💪🏻
Handball from liverpool defender. Red card? . Why isnt that mentioned?

Who's here relieving this moment after the news of Gérard houllier passing. Rest in peace monsieur
Arsenal battered us that day but we still managed to win. What a game. What a comeback.
Rip Gerard just heard the news he's passed away at 73 😢

Owen was fast. But Liverpool defenders today seemingly fast as well, TAA and Gomez are our jewels of today.
I bloody love Owen for winning this game for us.
In other news: In the 4th round Everton were trounced 3-0 at home by Tranmere and Man Yoo lost at home to West Ham 1-0. In the 5th round we beat Man Citehhh 4-2. Great times.
VAR would have ruined Henchoz’s day!
Redknap really coasted through his career not playing much
yep absolute light weight
Ballon d'Or
That 2nd Michael Owen goal was a different gravy of pace!!
Michael Owens finest hour and NO ARMANI SUITS, NO SUNGLASSES and a decent away strip as well. RIP Gerrard Houllier.
What a great game & goals from OWEN! From MU fan
I don't like it when people say Michael Owen won that cup final for Liverpool, Stephen Henchoz had a hand in it as well
Good one 😂
🤣🤣🤣
Tony Adams absolutely incredible defender. But could never handle Owen. 😉🔥
Well done reds Michael Owen was brilliant what a legend
Patrik Berger 🇨🇿👍
Michael Ow-rigi if you know what I mean....
Villa fan here but Liverpool are the Kings of comebacks. What a player Michael Owen was, they used to feed him yuppers to get the legs going.
Liverpool got the best of Owen,he never done much after Liverpool
LFC always seem to get the best out of strikers, the list is one of the best in world football.
Amazing match. I was only 10 at the time. RIP Gerard Houllier. I still don't think he gets enough appreciation for what he did for Liverpool.
0:17, didn't realise Wayne Rooney was a Liverpool mascot!
How did Arsenal not been awarded a penalty @ 0:49....
No VAR to give a penalty and a straight red card to Henchoz
that 2nd goal from owen..but what about that sublime pass from Berger...absolute peach!
Owen speed in PS 1 95👍
'Who let the dogs out? Hou Hou Hou Houllier!' Rest in Peace.
Michael Owen my favourite footballers. He makes me love Liverpool
Another instalment of that never-say-die grit! _YNWA_
This game was definitely one for the history books that Never say Never attitude that our club is known for definitely was on show that day!💯❤️⚽️🏆
Arsenal fan here and still to this day this one hurts 😔. Remember we dominated Liverpool most of the game and had so many chances and didn’t take them 😮.

Managed to beat Liverpool at Highbury in the 4th round of the FA Cup that double winning season as well. A nice little bit of revenge after this.
Gerrard, Fowler, Owen….those were some days
That AWAY KIT was gold ❤.. Cmon Adidas get a kit with that colour again 😅
Au revoir Gérard Houllier. Forever in our hearts. YNWA
Patrik Berger's beautiful long pass 🖤
Cup treble that year
I was way too drunk to realise Henchoz handballed, red card and penalty.
Kudos to Gunners fans for not going on about it
henry couldnt finish his dinner lol wasteful
Love the way Henry complains about henchoz handball, Henry knows a lot about handball in the area
2001, what a year for Liverpool. 5 titles!!!!
WHAT A COMEBACK!!!
Watch reading v arsenal 4.0 down win 5.7 thats greatest and crazy comeback ever
Hope they post that 5-4 uefa cup
Crazy match Owen the GOAT!
Pure Liverpool magic!
This is legit the game that made me support Liverpool
00:43 Handball ????!!!!!!! Unfortunately did't have VAR that time.
And a red card...
if VAR existed those days, Henchoz was indeed handball, very lucky referee didnt give arsenal a penalty
Don't know who our keeper was that day but he was shocking. Never seen someone come off their line so much and not get anywhere near the ball. Some good defending off the line and Owen was what won it for us in the end though
Sander Westerveld.
Football Nerd Sander Westerveld was terrible
Handball off the line saved you. Surprised no one has mentioned that
As a Liverpool supporter, I obviously was delirious with the comeback, but this was so close to actual robbery Fowler should have accepted the trophy dressed as The Hamburglar.
When Ljungberg still had hair
LFC FOR LIFE.
Owen, legendary
I clearly remember the wonderful stoppage
goals from Owen!
Honestly, if VAR existed at that time,Henchoz should have been sent off and a penalty should have been taken against LFC. Yet, referees makes mistakes in favor and against all teams.
That's the squad we beat Arsenal in 2000.
The greatest Galatasaray!
Happy 20th anniversary!
Defending was greatest of all time
Arguably the biggest win in the Houllier era. RIP
3:57
Owen should've had a hat-trick.
Imagine if he scored 3 goals in an F.A cup final.
3:42 Lee Dixon absolutely mugged
Arsenal battered us like a piece of cod but we had something they didn't and that was MICHAEL OWEN he was rediculosy good
A late goal is always a thriller! 🔥
"The problem with Arsenal is that when they lose 2-1 they almost never win" - Michael Owen
Yes REDS 🔴 😍
This is the day I became a Liverpool fan.
