Watching this 32 years later... still a top quality game. No dives, players throwing the ball back to the opposition after being penalised, deft touches, fast movement, all in all thrilling football.
Watching Lawro as a pundit you forget how blindingly quick he was and what a great 'reader' of the game he could be. Him and Hanson were a great defensive pairing.
Jan Mølby was simply superb. Brilliantly set up the first two Liverpool goals, and his simple touch to release Ronnie Whelan, who set up Rushie's clincher - pure genius. Liverpool was stacked with supreme talent back then.
Absolutely, he had a beautiful touch and his vision and passing ability was second to none. He was the orchestrator in midfield and most of the best play went through him. Don't expect him to run up and down the pitch or track back during the game because it wouldn't happen lol, but when you needed that creativity and vision from midfield then there was none better than big Jan, the Scouse Dane.
I'm not a Liverpool supporter but what I don't get about Liverpool's 3rd goal in this game is why it is not considered, hands-down, greatest ever FA cup goal scored, and also the greatest team goal ever scored - it's even better than Carlos Alberto's goal for Brazil's in the 1970 world cup final. It's just an insanely incredible goal that's unfathomably underrated and not mentioned as much as it deserves.
I am a Liverpool supporter and have never really appreciated that goal till reading your comment and rewatching it. Wow what a goal! Liverpool win the ball on the edge of their own box and the running from Ian Rush is incredible.
This was my first Liverpool match as a kid watched it with my mom. Now 36 years later many tears of sorrows and pure joy still passionate about my beloved Reds.....YNWA.
Me too. I am 38 now. A very entertaining match. Everton could have sewn it up if they took that chance early in 2nd half too. When the FA Cup Final was the highlight of the football calender.
A classic. Back when the FA Cup final was a event for the whole country,empty streets and either watched John Motson on BBC1 or Brian Moore on ITV with both channels travelling with a team each by coach to Wembley. Always looked forward to it even when my team (Spurs) wasn't involved.
@@kevinstoneham1245I used to love this day and grand national day back when it was a proper race and there were fences instead of hurdles lol. Those events today have had the shine taken off them the FA CUP has suffered because they started making semis play at Wembley as well which shouldn’t have happened.
@@nauf971 seriously, shocking touch and decision making for such a legend during a cup final. Having 10 legends around him made it not a big deal for him to have a shit touch for the day though lol
Wow that game seems like yesterday. I am nearly 57 now. I was 23 going on 24 then. Seems like yesterday which means that another 33 years in the future today will seem like yesterday and I will be 90, except I won't be 90 in all likelihood I will be dead. Yikes let's not go there!! Always a Red until I die (Which is coming!)
@@grahamrogers3345 Well done. I'm the same age as you. Remember it all like it was yesterday. Went down in a car full of Reds and they were merciless on the drive back.
I watched this game with my late Father in Australia on SBS.One of the very few live games from England. Every time I watch this game it bring me to tears just bring so much great memories of me and my dad jumping in joy when Aussie C J scored
@@markwhittaker6866 just something about the ironic goals and the shape of the stadium. The gaps behind the goals from the terraces. The "new"wembley doesnt do it for me.
I watched every FA cup final in the early 70’s to the early 80’s before moving to the US. No football was televised here except the WC. I never saw the careers of most of the players involved. I still miss seeing the old Wembley Stadium. I’m still in the US and I’ve missed dozens of past finals. An expat in Florida.
I was a teenager when I watched this in Australia. Craig Johnston became the first Australian to score in a FA cup final. It was a shame that he never got the chance to play for Australia. Have always followed Liverpool & would love to see us winning more trophies.
as a Manchester United who is from Manchester and will never stop watching replays of Whiteside the year before, I remember watching this cup final, gutted that my team weren't part of it but being so impressed by the standard of the two teams. I'm supposed to hate Liverpool but watching Jan Molby in the 2nd half is about as good as it can get! great times!
Jonathon Gates as a United fan myself I felt exactly the same. I must say that I would rather watch football from the 80’s and early 90’s than the current crap that calls itself football. Doesn’t matter who’s playing either!! And I just had to hold my hands up back then and say that both Liverpool and Everton were playing a different class of football.
Thank you for this Video.In 1986,I was in M.1 and I stayed in permanent dormitory apart from my mother.I feel very happy when I think of my past life.I love Liverpool.That players make me love this team.But after that,I forgot them for a long time until now.Liverpool becomes in my mind again.
My only flaw was his obvious bias towards London clubs. He supported Gillingham but it was obvious how much he liked Arsenal when commentated on their games. Still missed though.
That Everton team would have had a real chance in European Cup.. Oh hold on liverpools amazing fans murdered and got them and all rest of English clubs banned

@@chrisytfc879 I might be a Blue but that 3rd Liverpool goal is the equal of anything you'll see today. Brilliant vision by Whelan to pick out Rush (who started the move from his own half) and the finish was explosive.
Great game. The day the city of Liverpool came to London. No Man United,Chelsea, Tottenham or Spurs to be seen that year. A credit to both teams and the City of Liverpool. Pity that someone had to loose.

Tropicalboy2020,you could have been describing myself i was born in 76 we did the double in 86 & I'm still in love to this day….Glory days are coming back….
I was born in 74 and I remember watching this game on a Saturday afternoon with my Liverpool shirt on like it was yesterday. It wasn't my first game but you guys weren't far behind me. I remember my sister screaming "he's gonna score, he's gonna score" when Lineker went through for the opening goal, and me getting annoyed with her because he scored lol. Turned it round emphatically in that second half though, was never in doubt. So many great memories in that final, the Brucie crossbar tip save and the altercation with Beglin, Whelan stepping round the big blue balloon and Rushie smashing the camera with his finish. Brilliant times as a kid growing up and amazing memories. Still a massive fan to this day, so many ups and downs between then and now lol, but looks like good times could finally be upon us again. YNWA.
never in doubt stop talking shite,everton battered use for the first 60 minuets until stevens gave the ball away then rush scored and lets face it if southall who was the best keeper in the world at the time had not got injured a few months before everton would have won the double easy
I was stationed in England at this time (Lakenheath Air Force Base), I saw Liverpool live against Ipswich, Daglish scored a hat trick, Ian Rush played that day. It was a great day and the best time of my life!
As a young boy living deep in the Australian outback with only one TV channel, news of Craig Johnston's goal in this match is when I basically became a LFC supporter. I knew of no other team with an Aussie in it, let alone one scoring match winning goals in FA cups.
@@MrMahuti Don't most EPL Franchise owners these days consider it a second-tier trophy these days compared to the Champions League and League? If they didn't, they wouldn't order their managers to field reserve teams for FA Cup ties.
He had such a calm demeanor. He just came across as a class guy.You must have been a little star struck! . I lived in Dublin in those days and King Kenny was my main idol but Bob was up there too!
paul comerford I used to see Bob Paisley regularly because he part owned a bookmakers in old swan Liverpool and was quite often sitting in there, not on a Saturday though lol
I 1st became a Liverpool fan in 84 when Jim Beglin signed.. I also remember sat on my mates front room floor , 6 of us fixed on this entire game.. This game in particular set me up for what was many games of great football as a kid... Thankyou & YNWA
This FA Cup match really shows that LFC has a peculiar pattern of play...high pressing, counterattacking, good defending and never up give attitude. What a fantastic match from our legends!!! YNWA, LFC till the end.
I was at that game.... such a huge occasion the cup final was back then.... I have been an Evertonian since I was 6 in 1970 growing up in Dublin and walking up wembley way that glorious May Day is something I never will forget . I lived in Australia for 16 years and now live in Atlanta GA in the US but my love for my club has never waned. The 80s was a wonderful time to a 20 something old Everton fan... I feel lucky .
It was live on TV here in Holland. We have been going to Feyenoord with the family for decades, but to see that in the seventies and eighties was something special: always admired football and the experience of football in the UK. It's a shame that it's all become so commercial now, but that's an understatement.
For anyone interested i highly recommend listening to the Marty Johns Podcast episode with Craig Johnston. Craig’s story is extraordinary. If you look at his celebration after scoring he’s repeating the words “I’ve done it” and when you hear everything he battled through to get to that point in his career you’ll understand why those words were so meaningful.
He was shite,just lucky he had good players around him,he was a really messy footballer,basically a runner/trier.I remember watching him play in a reserve game at goodison,he was so bad we all thought it was a wind up honestly he was BEYOND shite,how the fuck he got that lucky l will never know.
@@tonynesbit9673 Such an ignorant comment. When you compare your illiterate bile with the considered comment above it the difference is like night and day.
I was there for the first FA Cup Merseyside Derby. My fellow American squash mate was from California and his English girlfriend worked for the FA at Lancaster Gate. She got me tickets for 5 FA Cup Finals when I was living in London in the 80's and early 90's. What great times they were, seeing this great match and seeing Ian Wright blast one in the back of the net when he was playing for Crystal Palace. Gazza against Forest playing like a Drunken Sailor for Spurs. Man, oh Man I miss going to Wembley. Great times they were!
This time 36 years ago exactly was on the train from Lime St to London Euston for an overnight stay in London before the game tomorrow. Thanks Dad, miss you loads😢
Yes. I was supporting Everton and already thougt that the fine fast attach ran out in the sand. Molby seemed to be waiting and waiting, not knowing what to do.The defense was gathered. And then the brilliant finish. I have never forgot this goal.
Grobbelaar was a legend i watched some great games mid 80's if he was hear in this day and age he be worth millions ..when goalies were good in them days these were good times ....
I remember those short shorts. They were not healthy for your knackers. A couple of years they went back to the 50's wearing shorts down to your knees.
It's possible that the technical quality of the players would be better today, but English football was so much more... likable back then. And there was an undeniable magic about the the old Wembley on Cup Final day. Gone today. I find myself watching repeats of old games on youtube and not watching modern football at all!
ajwasp I thought I was the only mad one who shares that sentiment. Old Wembley was much more classy and simple with the character to watch football. Had the people that ran it, thought to tweak it in certain aspects, it would still be appreciated. Time as it tramples on, made it a soulless bowl. New Wembley is blah.
eles214 thanks for the comment man. You are right. I mean old Wembley being changed as it did, is like changing Buckingham Palace into a " Trump Towers " type of affair. I thought Wembley was a grade two listed building or something. So far the new Wembley has done no one any favors, least of all football fans who miss the atmosphere like here in this all Merseyside Derby F.A Cup final. I was twelve at the time and saw it on T.V. but I was there at Wembley for the 1989 all Merseyside F.A. Cup final and it lives in my memories for ever and ever, :-). YNWA!
ajwasp they should have done it step by step like how they are now doing to Buckingham palace nou camp the bernabau they are old buildings they did not knock them down so why knock down Wembley stadium they should have started repairing it in 1980
The atmosphere is fantastic even if you watch at your TV. You can feel the power of cheer the sound the chanting voice and supporter of the fan at the stadium. Ils magical.👍
It might sound odd, but games like this are the reason I grew up supporting Everton. They were never the best team, but always the plucky underdogs. I like that. And there’s no shame in losing to that Liverpool team. They were all but unstoppable back then.
Just goes to show that I remember all the fa cup finals (and some league cup finals) of the 80s and 90s, but I can't tell you who the current (2021) holders of the cup are.
Remember this so well as 1986 is the graduation year of my first degree.Thirty six years on and I have turned sixty,what a memory for this cracking match.
Thanks for posting. The football is great but the definition by today's video standards is so hazy, and this is one of the clearer old football videos on YT!
The 1985-86 season was my first football season l can remember as a Liverpool fan at the age of eight years old...The same year also when the FIFA world cup in Mexico was on
Yeah...a great footballing year...(except for maradona handball)...but 85-86 was great....I still have my PANINI sticker album(not complete of course....
My first game was 3rd Sept 1965. I was 14 from Wolverhampton on my way to the funfair and got hijacked by thousands of LFC fans. Blackpool v LFC - won 3-2 but Alan Ball ran the match before his transfer to Everton. Roger Hunt and “The Saint” were fab. I’m 68 now and LFC till I die!!!! Klopp is continuing another dynasty started by Shanks and Paisley - True legends!!
WOW, I remember this game, I forgot Lineker was playing for Everton tho, so many special moments but that save by Grobelar was world class. This is the first season I started supporting Liverpool, amazing, thanks for sharing.
The Liverpool’s first FA Cup win for me as a fan as a 13 year old. People forget that for all our success in the 70’s and 80’s, the FA cup was the Red’s bogey cup. The League Cup was our cup.
The game at Wembley between Everton and Liverpool was unbelievable you will never see friendship anyway else Between the players or fans Anywhere else 💙 .
Very good game of football a game to grace any cup final....back in the days when Liverpool had some brilliant players how we could do with them nowadays particularly Ian Rush
When you think Everton very nearly won the double the previous year it must have been gutting for their fans. Molby and Rush were the difference. Nice to hear Brian Moore.
That was a cracking final, and remember it well as a teenage Liverpool fan. Obviously special being an all Merseyside final, but even more so because Liverpool and Everton were without doubt the best two teams in the country. The game was much tighter than the result suggested, and Everton had Liverpool rocking at times. Two quality goals from Rushie, but Jan Molby was the magic ingredient Liverpool needed.
I was 17. Becasue every player (bar Johnston) on the pitch was from England, Ireland, Scotland or Wales, this was when the FA Cup meant something to the players.
God! I remember watching this live as a 15-year old lol. 32 years ago ; bloody heck. Will someone please pop that bloody balloon in the second half! lol It is fair to say that this was one of the best Liverpool teams ever. Liverpool were an exciting team to watch then. I still remember my old Liverpool schoolbag lol.
See the amazing ball control by Ian Rush when he went through on goal for what should've been the hat trick. But to be honest Gary Stevens made one error that changed the whole dynamic. He had possession of the ball, there was no problem when the ball was given to him by Mountfield. He tried to play it down the line, he put it straight into Molby's path.
I’ve waited 33 years before watching this game again. I thought that might be enough time to let old wounds heal. It isn’t. I forgive Liverpool. They had an incredible side. I think my memory had blocked out Brian Moore. 33 years wasn’t enough.
@@UnashamedlyGodSquad Aww lord! Stuff of nightmares pal. I dream that I'm on the reserves bench for Accrington Stanley against Striking Miners XI. I’m parched with thirst. The ghost of Brian Moore's illegitimate-scouser-grandkid tells me ‘if I had only drunk some milk before the game [rather than the feed of pints that night], I might have even got a start on the pitch'. Condescending wanker. But such were ads in the 80s. Suffice if it say we lose 3-1. I wake up from the nightmare, covered in sweat and Liverpool pyjamas. Jaysus wept! There’s no end to the torment.
God be with the days, when the FA Cup final was one of the biggest days of the year. That and Grand National Saturday on the BBC were the reason for living.... How football was ruined by money and the influx of foreign players.... Not to mention sky sports.... 😒😔
Watching this 32 years later... still a top quality game. No dives, players throwing the ball back to the opposition after being penalised, deft touches, fast movement, all in all thrilling football.
Yes agree! Those are the years FA cup final at olcl wembley staclium.
Even Linaker was normal then. 🤣
This is when the FA Cup final was like a world cup final.
This is why I loved the fa cup wish the feeling with clubs nowadays was the same L.F.C YNWA.
Days have long gone sadly
Was a massive thing ...watching players leave the hotels on the coach was the whole day
I agree. I guess we are showing how old we now are. Great comment.

paul comerford I used to see Bob Paisley regularly because he part owned a bookmakers in old swan Liverpool and was quite often sitting in there, not on a Saturday though lol
Best two sides in Europe at the time.
Molby was class, still one of my all-time fav players. Rambo crunched toffees that day!!
I 1st became a Liverpool fan in 84 when Jim Beglin signed..
I also remember sat on my mates front room floor , 6 of us fixed on this entire game..
This game in particular set me up for what was many games of great football as a kid...
Thankyou & YNWA
This FA Cup match really shows that LFC has a peculiar pattern of play...high pressing, counterattacking, good defending and never up give attitude. What a fantastic match from our legends!!! YNWA, LFC till the end.
I was at that game.... such a huge occasion the cup final was back then.... I have been an Evertonian since I was 6 in 1970 growing up in Dublin and walking up wembley way that glorious May Day is something I never will forget . I lived in Australia for 16 years and now live in Atlanta GA in the US but my love for my club has never waned. The 80s was a wonderful time to a 20 something old Everton fan... I feel lucky .
Fantastic blast from the past, love watching the games of 70's and 80's👏 superb play from Liverpool
The reason I'm Liverpool fan was cos of Ian Rush. Now I'm forever YNWA
I'm only just a teenager and I've grown up with Liverpool and its so amazing to see the legends of this club
Ronnie whelan irish legend we nearly had half team those years how times have changed ❤❤
It was live on TV here in Holland. We have been going to Feyenoord with the family for decades, but to see that in the seventies and eighties was something special: always admired football and the experience of football in the UK. It's a shame that it's all become so commercial now, but that's an understatement.
For anyone interested i highly recommend listening to the Marty Johns Podcast episode with Craig Johnston. Craig’s story is extraordinary. If you look at his celebration after scoring he’s repeating the words “I’ve done it” and when you hear everything he battled through to get to that point in his career you’ll understand why those words were so meaningful.
He was shite,just lucky he had good players around him,he was a really messy footballer,basically a runner/trier.I remember watching him play in a reserve game at goodison,he was so bad we all thought it was a wind up honestly he was BEYOND shite,how the fuck he got that lucky l will never know.
@@tonynesbit9673 Such an ignorant comment. When you compare your illiterate bile with the considered comment above it the difference is like night and day.
I was there for the first FA Cup Merseyside Derby. My fellow American squash mate was from California and his English girlfriend worked for the FA at Lancaster Gate. She got me tickets for 5 FA Cup Finals when I was living in London in the 80's and early 90's. What great times they were, seeing this great match and seeing Ian Wright blast one in the back of the net when he was playing for Crystal Palace. Gazza against Forest playing like a Drunken Sailor for Spurs. Man, oh Man I miss going to Wembley. Great times they were!
This time 36 years ago exactly was on the train from Lime St to London Euston for an overnight stay in London before the game tomorrow. Thanks Dad, miss you loads😢
Wonderful to watch football iam so sad it is not the same game today
The third goal was a work of genius. The whole movement , set up and finish by Rush.
driffter1976 Indeed! Dailgish fake run to confuse defenders and Molby perfect cross to Rush to finished the job. Brilliant!
Yes. I was supporting Everton and already thougt that the fine fast attach ran out in the sand. Molby seemed to be waiting and waiting, not knowing what to do.The defense was gathered. And then the brilliant finish. I have never forgot this goal.
Grobbelaar was a legend i watched some great games mid 80's if he was hear in this day and age he be worth millions ..when goalies were good in them days these were good times ....
So many memories. When the FA cup was like the world cup, it was so important. How times have changed.
this was proper football.. none of that attacking ref or rolling about bulls.hit
I dunno, Sharp's run up to the ref was a bit aggresive.
Yer none of that fuckin ridiculous diving you have in Bpl nowadays
miss those days.. match free from bookies (or the least of them)
@@justclosing very aggressive - but hands down, get in your face, then turn around and accept it. Compare to the whining today.
I remember those short shorts. They were not healthy for your knackers. A couple of years they went back to the 50's wearing shorts down to your knees.
It's possible that the technical quality of the players would be better today, but English football was so much more... likable back then. And there was an undeniable magic about the the old Wembley on Cup Final day. Gone today. I find myself watching repeats of old games on youtube and not watching modern football at all!
Me too.
Same here
Wembley was much more a beautiful stadium back then. Classic and able to bring the country together. The new stadium is just like any other...
ajwasp I agree the old stadium was the best in the world
ajwasp I thought I was the only mad one who shares that sentiment. Old Wembley was much more classy and simple with the character to watch football. Had the people that ran it, thought to tweak it in certain aspects, it would still be appreciated. Time as it tramples on, made it a soulless bowl. New Wembley is blah.
eles214 I agree they should have improved it step by step
eles214 thanks for the comment man. You are right. I mean old Wembley being changed as it did, is like changing Buckingham Palace into a " Trump Towers " type of affair. I thought Wembley was a grade two listed building or something. So far the new Wembley has done no one any favors, least of all football fans who miss the atmosphere like here in this all Merseyside Derby F.A Cup final. I was twelve at the time and saw it on T.V. but I was there at Wembley for the 1989 all Merseyside F.A. Cup final and it lives in my memories for ever and ever, :-). YNWA!
ajwasp they should have done it step by step like how they are now doing to Buckingham palace
nou camp the bernabau they are old buildings they did not knock them down so why knock down Wembley stadium they should have started repairing it in 1980
I remember watching 86 FA Cup amazing football,proper tacking,end to end & all players proud to wear the shirt of there team
The atmosphere is fantastic even if you watch at your TV. You can feel the power of cheer the sound the chanting voice and supporter of the fan at the stadium. Ils magical.👍
this was one of the first english live matches broadcasted in the netherlands.
i was 12 years old, and instant in love with english football.
Good day. Thank you so much for the nice video. Bravo! Enjoyed and liked of course. Greetings and gratitude from your subscriber. Country Azerbaijan
Really cool seeing James Milner in his first seasons.
The atmosphere at that match was absolutely old school. Support and the teams total 80s style. Phantastic.
It might sound odd, but games like this are the reason I grew up supporting Everton. They were never the best team, but always the plucky underdogs. I like that. And there’s no shame in losing to that Liverpool team. They were all but unstoppable back then.
Just goes to show that I remember all the fa cup finals (and some league cup finals) of the 80s and 90s, but I can't tell you who the current (2021) holders of the cup are.
😂😂😂😂😂
I know exactly what you mean.
Remember this so well as 1986 is the graduation year of my first degree.Thirty six years on and I have turned sixty,what a memory for this cracking match.
When you know what Craig Johnston went through to become a footballer, it's so sweet that he got his goal 👍
Rush was deadly. Great goal Skippy too. Molby ran the game.
I remember watchin it all them years ago ,, I was only 7
I was 11 years old ynwa
Dad woke me up at 2am to watch this game live on the other side of the world. Recent scouse immigrants down under. Dad in red, mum in blue. ❤💙
That shot from Dalglish, landed in the car park in reading 😂
😂😂😂😂😂
I was kid at this time I'm 8 years old kiddo supporting the Reds since then till now #YNWA. I'm watching this memorable game ❤️.
Got Into Wembley free that day , one of the most magical days I ever had , some craic with both sets of fans , a
Liverpool ❤️❤️❤️
I so wish we had a few players like these today
Bob Paisley said Molby was the most gifted player he ever managed. Bob signed his book for me. Great man.
Ahh the days of King Kenny and his team of Legends!!! YNWA JFT96
Thanks for posting. The football is great but the definition by today's video standards is so hazy, and this is one of the clearer old football videos on YT!
The 1985-86 season was my first football season l can remember as a Liverpool fan at the age of eight years old...The same year also when the FIFA world cup in Mexico was on
Yeah...a great footballing year...(except for maradona handball)...but 85-86 was great....I still have my PANINI sticker album(not complete of course....
My first game was 3rd Sept 1965. I was 14 from Wolverhampton on my way to the funfair and got hijacked by thousands of LFC fans. Blackpool v LFC - won 3-2 but Alan Ball ran the match before his transfer to Everton. Roger Hunt and “The Saint” were fab. I’m 68 now and LFC till I die!!!!
Klopp is continuing another dynasty started by Shanks and Paisley - True legends!!
@@paulashton6302 Maradona ,gol del siglo😮
I watched this on bbc all those years ago so thanks for the Brian Moore version ynwa
brilliant save by grobbelaar from Sharp
Goes down as my 2nd favourite save of all time behind Gordon Banks save against Brazil 1970 World Cup.
WOW, I remember this game, I forgot Lineker was playing for Everton tho, so many special moments but that save by Grobelar was world class. This is the first season I started supporting Liverpool, amazing, thanks for sharing.
The Liverpool’s first FA Cup win for me as a fan as a 13 year old. People forget that for all our success in the 70’s and 80’s, the FA cup was the Red’s bogey cup. The League Cup was our cup.
The game at Wembley between Everton and Liverpool was unbelievable you will never see friendship anyway else
Between the players or fans
Anywhere else 💙 .
Very good game of football a game to grace any cup final....back in the days when Liverpool had some brilliant players how we could do with them nowadays particularly Ian Rush
haven't seen this since time!! Thanks for upload./
When you think Everton very nearly won the double the previous year it must have been gutting for their fans. Molby and Rush were the difference. Nice to hear Brian Moore.
The whole family used to sit down to watch the fa cup. Made a day of it.
Doesn’t mean anything now
Thank you.
That was a cracking final, and remember it well as a teenage Liverpool fan. Obviously special being an all Merseyside final, but even more so because Liverpool and Everton were without doubt the best two teams in the country. The game was much tighter than the result suggested, and Everton had Liverpool rocking at times. Two quality goals from Rushie, but Jan Molby was the magic ingredient Liverpool needed.
and i bet 90% liverpool fan's where scousers unlike today .
I was 17. Becasue every player (bar Johnston) on the pitch was from England, Ireland, Scotland or Wales, this was when the FA Cup meant something to the players.
We love liverpool from.greece! You never walking allown!❤
When the FA cup was a unreal achievement to win it...
Greatest ever too wear a Liverpool no 9
God! I remember watching this live as a 15-year old lol. 32 years ago ; bloody heck. Will someone please pop that bloody balloon in the second half! lol It is fair to say that this was one of the best Liverpool teams ever. Liverpool were an exciting team to watch then. I still remember my old Liverpool schoolbag lol.
Memorável conquista dos Reds, me lembro da época, gols do Rush e Lineker pelo Everton.
I was 15 .. watched it live 📺
See the amazing ball control by Ian Rush when he went through on goal for what should've been the hat trick. But to be honest Gary Stevens made one error that changed the whole dynamic. He had possession of the ball, there was no problem when the ball was given to him by Mountfield. He tried to play it down the line, he put it straight into Molby's path.
The day I got interested in football.. was 10 back then. Thank you Liverpool
I only went Red since Christmas!
86..I am 6 year old..N now i stil the Reds army..Ynwa..From 🇲🇾 wit love
I’ve waited 33 years before watching this game again. I thought that might be enough time to let old wounds heal.
It isn’t.
I forgive Liverpool. They had an incredible side.
I think my memory had blocked out Brian Moore. 33 years wasn’t enough.
😂😂😂 Funny story bud.
They were both great sides
@@UnashamedlyGodSquad Aww lord! Stuff of nightmares pal.
I dream that I'm on the reserves bench for Accrington Stanley against Striking Miners XI. I’m parched with thirst. The ghost of Brian Moore's illegitimate-scouser-grandkid tells me ‘if I had only drunk some milk before the game [rather than the feed of pints that night], I might have even got a start on the pitch'.
Condescending wanker. But such were ads in the 80s.
Suffice if it say we lose 3-1. I wake up from the nightmare, covered in sweat and Liverpool pyjamas.
Jaysus wept! There’s no end to the torment.
God be with the days, when the FA Cup final was one of the biggest days of the year. That and Grand National Saturday on the BBC were the reason for living.... How football was ruined by money and the influx of foreign players.... Not to mention sky sports.... 😒😔
