Liverpool - Team of the Decade 

I'm always impressed that you watch my videos. There's no way I'd put myself through an equivalent Utd video from the Ferguson years! (Or maybe you just comment and don't watch...)

Dave Waller I watch them Dave!! Sitting in a dark room rocking back and forth!! Only joking!! I would rather watch Liverpool videos about this era than United today. I watch all clubs videos from the 70’s and 80’s because that’s my football. Plus Liverpool played some wonderful stuff back then. Even though we normally got the better of you in the games we played you always took the prizes at the end of the season!!

Dave Waller plus I was at all our games so I don’t really watch them on video. Apart from Barcelona 99!! Even though I was there I could watch that over and over and over...............

@@DaveWallerLFC Liverpool were the team United fans most admired at that time. We just couldn't admit it in public. As I've said before, United achieved excellence (and some abysmal mediocrity); Liverpool achieved greatness.

After the games on the 5th of March 1988, Liverpool were 17 points ahead of Man Utd with 2 games in hand. For the rest of the season, Man Utd had 8 wins and 2 draws, whereas Liverpool had 4 wins, 6 draws and 2 defeats.

Always respected Newcastle. Good hard fans. I wish our fans were more like yours sometimes.

After a long time waiting, I do believe things are now going to change for Newcastle fans. You will have a very good team soon and I wish you well.

I a was a kid growing up in Liverpool in 1990-1993 I believed we was the top dogs! Loved that city back then!!

So special when I hear people say they got as a kid. We truly was blessed! I hope you have things for your kid they will remember!!

@@journeytrials I certainly do 👍

You're welcome. Here's the Mighty Reds video, which is the other one you mentioned: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-qxwYcid_uSM.html

Na na na...Nobody can the place of The Pride Of Liverpool: King Kenny Dalglish ❤️❤️❤️

Thanks. It means a lot to hear that.

Love Fairclough's understated celebration when he scores (7:50).

I've still got the VHS, but I don't have a VHS player ...

Me too! I was 9 at the time. I couldn't believe that the Reds lost to the Crazy Gang. I was convinced that Aldridge was going to score the penalty; didn't hold it against him though as he was a legend! Hardly any of Liverpool's players played to their potential on that day which is the thing that disappointed me the most about the game. That said, the beauty of sport is that sometimes the underdog grasps their moment in the spotlight - Wimbledon certainly did that.

@@edwardinho6185 we won more than enough...during that period ...an odd loss was par for the course...

I was 15 at the time and after Sanchez scored I thought how did that happen ? Then when Beardsley's goal was disallowed I walked up to the TV and shouted at the ref WTF ? Then Aldridge missed the penalty and I knew all my classmates would be laughing at me next school day but fair play to Wimbledon .

@@robertclark2253 I was 10 years old I swear waking up on 14th May 88 was the best n exiting day of my life I went to jjb sports about 1pm to get the crown paints shirt and I told the shop worker I'M GOING TO WEMBLEY. Lol the guys thinking how is he gona get to London In less than 2 hours in time for kick off ( I'm from Preston Lancashire about 230 miles away from Wembley 😆) Yeh the shanchez goal it wasn't even a free kick and shanchez's goal celebration was absolutely terrible he celebrated like a naked streaker running on the pitch.. Yep Beardsley goal ref shudda played advantage. And also pen was weak no wonder hippy dave beasent saved it.. I noticed 1st half wimbledon wer scared they were not confident they were literally petrified of Barnsley Barnes but the second half they defended well but all in all Liverpool didn't play well . But the dons will always say OH WE HAD OUR GAME PLAN THAT'S WHY WE WON . That's boloks lol . Liverpool lost cos they didn't train hard enough and concentrated more on the Anfield rap song whilst the Don's wer training hard

@@Kill--alllll---IDF Anyone can be beaten even on their best day and like I said before fair play to Wimbledon . I'll tell you what though it's been great to talk to someone that remembers the whole game . Thanks for sharing have a like .

Wimbledon finished 7th in the league that year and both league games between the teams were close. From memory I think the odds might have been 3/1 for Wimbledon.

Thanks. The most recent club history I've got is from 2002. Sorry

@@DaveWallerLFC No bother Dave. Can you send me a link to it when you have a moment. Assume you have uploaded it?

I haven't uploaded it. I may do at some point, but no immediate plans. Sorry again...

I do have that, but given that UEFA block any footage of their finals (and some semi finals) from the 70s and 80s I'm not sure if it's worth trying to upload it as there might not be much left.

@@DaveWallerLFC fair enough mate

I don't think so.

Cup football has fine margins. The best team over the season can easily have off days. 3 finals in each decade and some semi finals isn't *that* bad but it is odd that Paisley never won while sweeping the board in every other competition.

Dave Waller I never got that. We won it 5 or 6 times in the fergie era. Mind you, you won a couple more European cups so it evens itself out.

Would it be fair to say that football became more uneven after the Premier League started so the best team was further ahead of the rest and therefore less likely to slip up in the cups? I'm sure that's true now (when clubs take cups seriously) but maybe not in 1994/1996 when you started winning doubles?

A strange one. Clough and Paisley never won it, which still baffles me. We tripped Liverpool up three times during this period, so I'm claiming some credit for United :)

scherben i was hoping you were going to bring that up!!

According to shazam it's called "Lily was here", written by Dave Stewart and performed by Candy Dulfer. There's a live version of the song here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-3SfSQ3lQmJw.html

Are you talking about subtitles? Do other videos on my channel have this? I'm not sure how it works. I don't have the time (or language skills) to add them manual in English (or other languages) I'm afraid.

​@@DaveWallerLFC well and also thank you for your very beautiful clips to learn about the great history of liverpool and its historical matches that are full of football beauty.❤❤
