As a Tottenham supporter who enjoyed the midfield of Ardilles, Hoddle and Villa in the 70s and 80s I had great respect and envy for Arsenal's Liam Brady.
I was there! Sat in the stand at almost at the place the goal shown was filmed! I will never ever forget that! Alan Sunderland just did the business! Great drive back home to Co. Durham afterwards! COYG!
I saw Liam Brady rip us apart at White Hart Lane an Highbury , a couple of times. One of the best I’ve ever seen . He played for the team and not just himself. That cup final was something else , he controlled that game. Always had big respect for Liam Brady .
Met him on a train 2d class from brighton to london in 1999 as he came back from scouting youth for the arsenal. So so so humble....you would'nt believe. 👌👌
The great Brady, he almost used pure skill to work his magic, you would never see him just push and rush, he always tricked the opponent before going past and delivering a killer pass or slashing in a great shot. Underrated, like so many of his era - Brooking, Currie, Hoddle even. Kudos to Rix who delivered that superb classic cross to the far post, was not a Bailey mistake, he was deceived by the shape of the cross.
Mark mate , people who have been watching football only since the premier league don't realise we were all watching great players before some of them were born......Ps I wish Everton had a great player these days.
Chippy Brady. I never realised until much later that his nickname had nothing to do with his talent on the pitch but was instead because of his predilection for deep-fried potato sticks.
Gosh I remember this final as if it were yesterday. Phoning (on a landline) my uncle (Utd fan) taking the pi55 when we went 2-0 up only to be phoned back at 2-1 and again at 2-2. He slammed the phone down on me when I phoned at 3-2. Great times and great memories. Years later I named my son after this gem of a player. 😊
Ireland's best ever starting 11, GK Jennings, RB O'Shea, CB McGrath, CB Blanchflower, LB Irwin, M Roy Keane, M Giles, M Brady, F Whiteside, F Robbie Keane, F Best
Between 1970 and the coming of the Premier League there were 3 truly great players who played in the English League. Paul Gascoigne, Kenny Dalglish and Chippy Brady.
great player was brady, underrated and forgotten by England and never capped. it's out lost I supposed. maybe his name reminded the England mangers of the moors murderer.

imagine him along side hoddle
Thanks for bringing back another great football memory.
I am no Arsenal fan .... but I don't understand why Liam Brady seems almost 'overlooked' ?
Over looked by who?
@@leebush4053 you, Lee Bush
@@leebush4053 are you an Arsenal fan?
Chippy Brady, he was sublime. One of my favourite players that I had the pleasure watching play at Highbury, a true Gooner.
For me he's the original zidane !!!!

As far as the Irish Republic goes, only Johnny Giles was anywhere near Brady's class.
If you're talking about flair, maybe. They had a number of world-class players over the years.

Brady Brady born as the king of Highbury 😂COYG. Chippy Brady .Your never take the north bank 🎉
As an Arsenal supporter for 53 years, the only Gunners I can place above Liam Brady are Henry and Bergkamp. He really was that good.
Such a great player. I remember him dribbling past 4 players on a muddy, rutted pitch in a midweek game- to do it in such conditions was unbelievable.
Awesome player.
What a don! Don't see players like him these days
You could see what a great player he was on the tv, but if you were at the game you watched something magnificent.

He was a top class player. One of the best for me.

As good a left foot as I've ever seen.
He was one Class Player ,loved watching him
Best player born on our Ireland.

England's B team.
You’d be in Mensa’s C team
McGrath is the only one of them born in England, even at that his mother was Irish, and he was raised in Dublin since he was a baby.
@@barryb90he’s a little Englander implying England is all that Barry….yet that have won the exact same no. of trophies as us in the last 50 years 🥱

and later to be a nutcase Hoddle.
I watched it , guess I’m getting old !
Liam Brady is the reason I support arsenal.
Ridiculously overblown commentary. A fine player though, without doubt. Serie A was not the greatest stage of European football in 1979, either.
Chippy was the man
Chippy Brady, not because he chipped a lot, but because he dug fish and chips
As the song went.. born is the king of highbury BRADY BRADY !!
My teenage footballing hero. As an Arsenal fan the player I most remember and that team, the Irish Arsenal is the one I most remember.
Magnificent player, simply magnificent, a joy to watch.
Was there as a 13 yr old kid , what a day what a player . Born is the king of Highbury !
Good footballer McIlroy
Fantastic player
Skill + intelligence = Liam Brady 🇮🇪
Brady is a legend and we'll respected in the game off football
Top class player 💯
The reason I became an Arsenal fan!
Great video
A good video but a drawn match would have went to a reply and not extra time.
No, the FA Cup finals used ET at that time - see 1971 or 1981 for other examples.
@@joseparcenary4706 I am mistaken.

Did he say brutal sport? Seriously! This isn't prize fighting. Now that's brutality. Life and death.
That's extremely brutal
