What a goal by the King! He was in his mid 30s by then but still produced the magic. To beat probably the best goalie in Europe at the time like that wow!
Some matches in the first half of the season were recorded for broadcast in other countries, during the dispute that affected coverage in the UK. The Liverpool games recorded were, as far as I know, West Ham, Everton, Man Utd and Arsenal (all away).
I posted a comment about this on the Manchester United League Cup video on this explaining that the programme in question was the international version of The Big Match
In all the Merseyside derby games I've watched on here, thats got to be the most oppo fans in the home end. Not saying 'ever', just what I've seen. Such a shame it's not like that anymore.
The Liverpool end is all scallies . What a support we had pre Hillsborough. We still have good fans but half the crowd seem like wools and tourists the last 20years
Presumably you mean Kenny's goal, as McMahon's stike to beat Southall at his near post from that far out was also impressive. Kenny's goal is unlike any other I can think of. Who would think to shoot from there with the outside of the right foot? Genuis.
Those really were the days my friend..... I was in the paddock near the park end. Couldn’t see the king Kennys first goal but remember going mental. It rained all day and my Liverpool, sun hat turned pink on the way up Carisbroke Rd after the game heading to The Mons. Happy days though,, loads of reds in the Gladwys St ....get in there red men.
I was there that day. I went with a workmate it was the first time I went with him to a game. After being 3-0 down at half time I never went with the bleeding jinx again.
One of the 87-88 games was one of the first I ever watched on TV, and the commentators were talking about the "Liverpool-Everton derby match", and I said "what? are there three teams playing: Liverpool, Everton and Derby?"
I managed to get two tickets for this game on the Street end and before kick-off, my dad said, 'now remember, we're in the Everton end, so don't be jumping up and down if we (Liverpool) score'. Then Kenny puts one in the top corner in the first minute and I couldn't help myself. Suddenly it became apparent that there were hundreds of Liverpool fans jumping up and down with me. So much for segregation - didn't need it.
Would be interested to know where these highlights are from as there was no British TV coverage of football I believe during the early part of the 85/86 season.
