1979 Liverpool football team. Liverpool’s greatest team. I was ten in 1979, and this Liverpool team was everything to me. Kings of Europe. Best team in England. Ray Kennedy was my hero. Pure class.
Golden times in British football, teams full of wonderfully British players, ...two giants of the game,.. locking horns for bragging rights,....fierce rivalry,...great atmosphere,....miss those great times
I was 9 years old ,I remember watching this match with my dad we were the only liverpool supporters in our house ,everyone else were United supporters, what a fantastic time for British football , I'm 50 years old now and unfortunately i lost my father 18 years ago so watching this brings tears to my eyes ,i will always cherish the best times off my life was when i was a young lad growing up with my dad watching is beloved liverpool especially during the seventies and early eighties, love and miss you dad your son Lee xoxo
This English Atmosphere is gone because of Overdozed Commerce sadly!!! England 70 s and 80 s is unique in Football History.Greetings and Respect from Chile and Germany.England and Liverpool we love you!!!!
Great upload. The pitches were so different then as well. Remember Derby County's baseball ground being rough for a lot of the season but they all seem to be better these days.
Mohamed Ali well Mo, i was 11 and very excited to see the top two clubs. I lived in Dublin and flew over with my Dad. We got there very early and were at the half way line. The noise was incredible when the game was on. When you’re a kid, you’re in awe of the whole show!
I was born in Chile 72 and came to Germany 74(Osnabrück) I grew up with British Army Families! And 77 I saw the first the Reds against Mönchengladbach Borussia( EC Finale) in Rome.I was 5.This red Colour sticked in my Brain!! I was crazy.Liverpool won I didn t sleep all the Night! It is like a Drug you can not explain this with Words!!
When you think of modern football in England you think of rich men use a lot of money to buy trophies Nothing can match the the dominance of Liverpool in the English game Shankly Paisley Fagan and Dalglish first time
Sign of the times - I remember feeling so upset at being knocked out of the FA Cup by United in 1979 that I would have happily traded the League for a shot at the Cup Final (I was only 10). Now the FA Cup means nothing and 6 league points v United would be golden. Still, at least Alan Sunderland broke the Manc hearts in a cup final classic!
I remember it well! I was 10 too. The heartbreak of that semi, this match, then that extraordinary final between the red filth an the gunners. The bastards nearly nicked it, but when that ball came sailing over Bailey and dropped to Alan Sunderland, I couldn't have been happier! Our beloved LFC gave us all a LOT to be happy about and grateful for, but that late winner in the '79 final, is right up there too!!! 👍
Best ever British team by a country mile. From 1977 to 1985. But this team, although Forest had their moment in the sun, was the best. Dalglish was truly world class and at his peak. Souness was as good as any central midfielder in Europe. Liverpool were imperious and won four European Cups in seven years, striding like a beautiful gazelle and sweeping all before them. Ferguson’s dream was to match that Liverpool team. He did it domestically, however, not in Europe. Liverpool were the equal of any great team in Europe’s footballing history.
Vantheman12 Welshman thats rite i agree. Ferguson big frustration was never been able to achieve what Liverpool did in Europe!! Only 2 champions both won with amazing luck!!!!
Case was a great "making things happen" player that any club needed. Never got the praise he deserved. Neal was an "attack from the back" player that any club would want anytime. Man Utd a bit of a rabble and Martin Buchan couldn't control them because he wasn't in their drinking group.
Edmund Power very true. We drew the first game on the Saturday. It was Grand National day. They interviewed Alan Hansen as they walked off. Losing the replay was painful.
@@stephenl5054 i was there too, behind the goal at ot road end,,,fantastic in those days, special trains, 20 mins gone singing were only warnming up !!!
For the young Scouse lads who obviously and for good reason see Gerrard as the best ever for youse. IMO Kenny Daglish was better, different but better. Remember seeing him when I was a kid sitting on the fences of the Kippax and he was fucking brilliant, his movement and control was out of this world, he was up there as the best in the world in the early 80s. Also, why did Liverpool get rid of Jimmy Case? He was class, but he went to Brighton?? Never worked that out? Any thoughts?? MCFC M20
I've read Jimmy Case's book and he was exchanged for Mark Lawrenson in 1981 who was at the time a Brighton player. It was after Case and Ray Kennedy were involved in an altercation at a hotel during a summer break. Case himself says had it not been for him being transfer listed he would have continued playing for Liverpool.
What Deke wrote. Jimmy Case and Brighton played at Anfield in a FA cup match and Jimmy was welcomed back with huge cheers. He then spent the next 90 minutes kicking Dalglish all over the park and they beat us LOL! Laughing now, but not at the time.
They used to take half of it,before they put the segregation in the Rd End.The only club that showed in numbers.These where great times and great games...the first one we looked for when the fixtures come out.
One sub allowed, ropey pitch’s, quality players all over the pitch, standing allowed , good punch ups allowed , cheap to get in, , today’s lot are just prima donnas and no where near these great players in every way, and domestic cups mattered
@Samprasisgoat The longest walk.Spurs away Fa cup 1980..for any Liverpool fan that was travelling back then.fucking chaos...today's fans wouldn't be hanging around to film it..that's a cert.Most problems at home. The Mancs...the red ones..no doubt.Never failed to show,big numbers and regularly tried to avoid plod.Im to old not to say it as I seen it.
The Man called Bruce who played over 600 games for Liverpool Winning 6 league titles 3 FA cups 3 League cups 1 European cup It was sad that most fans recognise Bruce at the end of his career Not this great goalkeeper we had all those years
Mick Shipton Man Utd were unlucky not to win the first game at Maine Road which they dominated but Liverpool dominated the second game without ever being at their best. Remember Ray Kennedy hitting woodwork which he always seemed to do when a goal was needed against Man Utd ; he scored when it was not crucial ( 3-1 at Anfield Mar 78, 3-0 at Old Trafford Dec 78). It was the end of Emlyn Hughes at Liverpool as Copple gave him a torrid time and Alan Kennedy took over after that semi and always handled the excellent Copple well.
mickslyness ; Phil Neal goals weren’t that rare Mick ; six have come into my head without much thought ( outside of penalties of course). Probably less rare than good tackles by him! Jimmy Case was the real right back but the attacking triangle of Case, Neal and McDermott down the right was great to watch.
Before money ruled and it was a working man's game and team binding and banter in dressing room not like overpaid ponces sitting ignorant in dressing room with headphones on
1979 Liverpool football team. Liverpool’s greatest team. I was ten in 1979, and this Liverpool team was everything to me. Kings of Europe. Best team in England. Ray Kennedy was my hero. Pure class.
Were these Liverpool years better than Ferguson's best at Manchester? (As far as quality of football) not the drinking that either era set off....
@@9and7 Fergie United were steeped in luck. Everything they won had a huge slice of fortune going with it
I'd say you started following the club around 1977... The same as me. Oh what a ride we've been on😁
Same. Case was my hero. No wrong…they all were.
Can’t stand football these days.
@@edmundpower1250 don’t think so just accept they were good

What about your kids?
King Kenny. What player !
Aye.
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Dalglish ! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Dalglish ! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Dalglish !

3:40 It's a shame we don't see moments like this anymore, everyone having a laugh even the player who dived.
Best way to play the game with no melodramatics
People now a days would ... GET UP YE FICKING WANKER
Phil Neal and Alan Hanson proving the Dutch didn't have the monopoly on 'Total Football'😆
Great performance from Liverpool, the Premier League champions of 2020
"Liverpool giving Manchester United no respite at all."
We will have this yet again, can't wait to play the Mancs at home.
Aged so well 😁
Jimmy "Hard" Case! What a player and what a shot! Poor old Ray Kennedy died too young!
Great upload. The pitches were so different then as well. Remember Derby County's baseball ground being rough for a lot of the season but they all seem to be better these days.
This was my first ever Liverpool game. Thanks for sharing
me too! It was a great game
Me too! I didn't like the fence around the field but what a passionate kop!
@@Paulco67 what was it like then?

Shankly Paisley Fagan and Dalglish first time
The two greats.
Yep, Dalglish and souness.
Those wonderful times when there was an fascinating atmosphere on english Football grounds..........Never come back

I was the same. We drew 2-2 with them at Maine road but they beat us 1-0 at Goodison and it hurt so much. Yet, winning the league was almost a given

@@michaelrawson6261 I guess United had their moment in the sun too with the Gunners with Michael Thomas at Anfield ten years later

Yet on record your manager bob paisley said the busby babes was the best british team
But they did not win in Europe ...so they were not
@@jorgeicardi9305 amazing luck my arse .
Best and Dalglish ...the best players in the then 1st division ever.
Good days before sky spoilt it.
What a beautiful game this like a friendly match
king kenny !

They beat us ten days earlier in a much bigger game ...the FA Cup Semi finals and continued to be our bogey side in that competition
Edmund Power very true. We drew the first game on the Saturday. It was Grand National day. They interviewed Alan Hansen as they walked off. Losing the replay was painful.
@@edmundpower1250 Who cares who won the league?
@@fifalegend6298 fá cup was more glamorous in the seventies
@@edmundpower1250 But the league was far more important like Shankly said
Can’t believe Clemance is no longer with us.
The game at Old Trafford on Boxing Day was not televised. Liverpool won 0-3 but I've never seen the goals since that day.
My first game at OT for Liverpool Utd game
If it wasnt televised then you cant see the goals dah
@@stephenl5054 i was there too, behind the goal at ot road end,,,fantastic in those days, special trains, 20 mins gone singing were only warnming up !!!
this match was on my younger sisters 5th birthday
amazing
Absolute scenes !!!

You said it all then left out the most important part ....Case scored the winning goal in that match¬! So he didnt spend ALL the time kicking dalglish
This liverpool was the best and the 11 players were the best plus the substitutes and the 22 were the BEST
The best
These days, you actually can hear what is being said on the sound system
Ray Clemence not too pleased with having his fingers crushed by his own player at the end!
+Philip Raiswell Neither him nor Gary Bailey were wearing gloves,I would have thought that by 79 all keepers wore them,but clearly not.
Magico Kenny
Souness's attempt. Pitiful.
Not a foreigner on the field.
Gary Bailey 🤔
No gloves
What a dive!
Hilarious...
They must be mad, around the bend they tried to take the anny road end, United tried and 30 died we are the pride of Merseyside LFC
30 died? that's not funny
They used to take half of it,before they put the segregation in the Rd End.The only club that showed in numbers.These where great times and great games...the first one we looked for when the fixtures come out.
Now compare klopps lot of today, I bet he wishes he had this 11 to pick today. Proper hard players with delightful skill
How come we were producing quality British players then , not many around now top quality ones
👍🏼
In 1979, people thought Liverpool was the best team on the globe, but in 5 months from this game, the English team loses in Tbilisi. 3:0
And then won the European Cup again
Very Nice, all players English no blacks and foreigners,all English and White.
No legionnaires,no millionaires.
My god that pitch looks quite good. Pitches then were usually awful, even in the better stadiums
Amazed the players could control the ball - the surface looks like a cow paddock.
John M like playing on a pizza
La forza di quel Liverpool moderno erano l insieme è la capacita dei N.3-5-2-6 di spingersi in avanti è segnare ogni vittoria..
5:20.
One sub allowed, ropey pitch’s, quality players all over the pitch, standing allowed , good punch ups allowed , cheap to get in, , today’s lot are just prima donnas and no where near these great players in every way, and domestic cups mattered
The road end mad scals .

@@carlito571 they used to out number away fans on that walk an do anyone. utd scarfers making there way back used to get stick.
3:10 Zico
Every team needs a defender like Neal!!
Ray Clemence, what a goalie... Replaced by that clown, Grobbealaar...
The Man called Bruce who played over 600 games for Liverpool
Winning 6 league titles
3 FA cups
3 League cups
1 European cup
It was sad that most fans recognise Bruce at the end of his career
Not this great goalkeeper we had all those years
"Whupping MANC Arses". But not a week and a half earlier When United deservedly beat Liverpool in the FA Cup Semi-Final Replay at Goodison Park!
Mick Shipton Man Utd were unlucky not to win the first game at Maine Road which they dominated but Liverpool dominated the second game without ever being at their best. Remember Ray Kennedy hitting woodwork which he always seemed to do when a goal was needed against Man Utd ; he scored when it was not crucial ( 3-1 at Anfield Mar 78, 3-0 at Old Trafford Dec 78).

ua-cam.com/video/-7gmKFymibk/v-deo.html Dalglish, First touch and turn in the same moment, followed by a good shot. Great to see him in action.
Neither keeper wearing gloves!
Please give me a time machine
pitch was a bit bumpy,a rare phil neal goal,and man never won the league.
mickslyness ; Phil Neal goals weren’t that rare Mick ; six have come into my head without much thought ( outside of penalties of course). Probably less rare than good tackles by him! Jimmy Case was the real right back but the attacking triangle of Case, Neal and McDermott down the right was great to watch.
Just so glad Dalglish never got a perm. Or Bob Paisley for that matter.....
Well Dalglish did
Bob Paisley won 3 European Cups. Doubt he cares
Lucky Mancs 😂
