Arsenal v Liverpool Littlewoods Cup Final Charlie Nicholas BBC 

This game and the ‘89 Anfield match are the two games I remember so well from my childhood! As I was born in the 80’s this was the first time I saw them win a trophy 🏆. My love for the Gooners has never wained. COYG

As an 7 year old Evertonian I was absolutely gutted for are brothers from across the Park on this day🤣🤣🤣🥳a great game aswell🤩

this is why they call it the charlie nicholas final remember he was a great player for arsenal we wont forget him

Little did they know that most of that Arsenal team would meet Liverpool again 2 years later to lift the league title

Steve Williams was a fantastic player for Arsenal

Attendance for the 1987 Football League Cup Final was 96,000 fans.

This was the first game Liverpool lost when the legend Ian Rush scored😢

I was devastated by this defeat. Little did I know there was a worse one to come 2 years later!

Little did I know this was my 1st cup final watching Liverpool.. 35 years later and 9 Cup finals on Inc paris in May I still await my 1st win Present.... jinx

Ahhh the old wembley on a sunny day and another arsenal honour🍒🍒🍒🍒🍒🍒⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️coyg

Man there was such a feeling of occasion about the whole thing back in those days.

I think this was my 1st ever full match I watched age 9 years old 😊 verrrrrrrrrrry happy memories.. barnes beardsley Aldridge Houghton wer devastating several months later

Early memories of becoming an Arsenal fan. Both teams had quality Adidas originals kit

Thanks for this I was there on the day itself when wembley was heaving on the terraces!

"One nil down, two one up........"

WEMBLEY was special then.....now just a venue

Perry groves and John lukic looked so young

1:28:35 What a claim by Lukic!

Mark Lawrenson has only just made it to the dressing room ........

I missed that season totally . I was in America at the time (Pretending to have a green card lol ) and found out about it in an English newspaper I bought . Bloody typical hehehe .

I remember watching this. I was a young Liverpool supporter and couldn't believe they lost. I have been watching a lot of these classics and the linos officiating was beyond bad. You think it's bad now? It was catastrophic back then. This game had a few shockers. I'll give a couple of examples 1:47:10 - you can see Perry Groves is at least a couple of yards on side. 1:52:38 - Spackman, well onside. I've gone through a number of games and they are littered with terrible lino offside calls. But they were almost never brought up on it. They literally didn't know the rules or know what they were doing.

Atmosphere incredible better than anything Arsenal played in the Wenger era different world , and this is just the league cup final very impressed

Walsh was terrible this game as he was basically the whole of this season

Charlie ❤
