7:16 The Kop reaction to the Emlyn Hughes goal. I started sitting on a crash barrier in the Kop as a seven year old with my dad in the 72/73 season. Getting knocked off the round topped barriers (before the later square ones) at every corner at the Kop end and being lifted up again by whoever was there. The Kopites would always look out for the little ones in a crush getting out of the ground. I was lucky to catch the end of the Shankly era. Thank you dad.
Was a young student at the university of Liverpool until 1974 . There was nothing much in Liverpool besides big hearted people ...and Anfield ! I was so enthused that my mother 11;000 miles away became an unconditional fan ! So many excites, lively memories ! The magic lives on with Torres, Gerrard, Suarez, Salah, Firmino, Alonso, coutinho, ....but heighway remains my man !
Not the 2020 team tho,87/88 the best footballing side i've saw but if we win the league,or more this season then it will be a whitewash,can't stop winning now it's crazy the run Liverpool are on! Be interesting if todays players were to play on mud soaked pitches and players fro 70's etc play on carpet smooth pitches tho.
@@shreerajsalunke353 Different game altogether now and impossible to compare Liverpool players/teams past and present. For a start you were allowed too compete for the ball in those days i.e go in for challenges without being red carded. You had hard guys like Tommy Smith, Case and the rest who could look after themselves, the game a lot more brutal in those days. The rules of the game protect the players now and other tactics completely taken over, like play acting and diving. So you could argue that the pampered players of today (or many of them) wouldn't have been able to cope playing in the old division 1 in the 1970's.
What a fabulous team Liverpool were Bob paisley was a fantastic manager but the foundations of this team and club were put in place by the one and only BILL SHANKLY
A merseyside derby that ended 3-2 in 1970 made me a Liverpool fan, i still remember the result were hard fought, a few years later Keegan and Toshack were absolutely ruining the competition, so many great players though, what a team.
Interesting to hear the applause for Johnson (then an ex-Everton player) scoring for Ipswich ringing around Anfield. Like to think the same would happen today.
As a kid in those days ..I Remember the state of pitches and kit..I could curl.the ball no.problem..but by end of career..everything had improved immeasurably..as for the Balls..curling ball around walls was child play..and 40 yard passes too..
Thanks for posting. Strange to see Ray Clemence make such an error as in the first match. Wonder how or if they would have doomed him in today's social media. In the second match he plays with gloves, and I thought he started with gloves much later on. Could it have been due to the muddy pitch that he also used gloves sometimes before the late 70's, like against Coventry?
Modern top flight pitches are a mix of synthetic and real grass. Back then they were just grass. Subjected to weather which was worse and the pitch would be worse where the play was most concentrated usually in the box at each end and the centre circle.
