Liam Brady is my grand uncle so thank you for this masterpiece and all the nice comments ,much appreciated didn't think he was as loved as he was ...means alot seen Italians comment that has not forgot his heroics over there really appreciated 🙂👍
and argentinians, what Liam Brady said on Diego's memorial 2 years ago was very great it reached worldwide was even translated to the spanish newspapers The Maradona Brady Platini circa in the CALCIO of the 80's was just pure art in a football pitch
A legend and one of the most underrated players ever, certainly in Ireland. Football in the 70s and 80s was brutal. Harry Kane wouldn't last 10 minutes. Maradona is my favourite player ever, he had lumps kicked out of him every week which is one of the reasons he ended up a drug addict, even at that he was still destroying teams in Italy which was the number one league in the world in the 80s, where Brady excelled. Cheers from the kingdom. And if you Google ' oh look at that Brady' you can see what he could do..
The greatest Irish player to this day he proved it over in Italy when it was the hardest league in the world plus he never cryed off for his country like Roy Keane and that's the truth.
Liam Brady was a fantastic player who gave his all for every club.... He loved Arsenal and they still love him I had the pleasure of meeting him a few years ago and found him to be a very sound normal guy who chatted to me about the game.. family.. Ireland he had that something special about him. A humble guy
I’m too young to remember him playing, but watched the 1979 fa cup final recently and couldn’t believe I’d never heard of him. He’d walk into any team. Incredible talent.
@@konysolomon2705erie A was the toughest and best league in the world back then, he tore it up. In fact he was excellent for Arsenal too, to prove it in both leagues what he was made of. Only the best can do that.
As a fellow Dubliner have to agree 'Chippy' was a relly great footballer ,but have to disagree with JB. Having both Brady and George Best play and I'd say George was a better all round player . However, Liam was definitely the more 'sensible' off the field.
First match I ever attended at Maine Road featured the great Liam Brady, who to me, could have easily found a place on the great Dutch teams of the 70s. Fantastic player.
Put 5,000-10,000 on the gate, just like the other great midfielders of the past, and we've had a few; Alex James, Mercer, Eastham, Bloomfield, Graham, Nicholas, Vieira, Bergkamp, Fabregas, Ozil.
Great is overused for footballers...he was great! I saw his debut for Arsenal and loved him from then on...and I was mistaken for him once at a reserves game at Barnet! Proud moment...
Liam just had that X factor... Was always there at Highbury watching him every home game... Never ever put a foot wrong, nearing 60 now but the greatest days i ever had... Arsenal Forever ❤️❤️❤️
What can you say about Liam Brady .... Genius of his Time , Legend .... Purely a Testament of Quality Football ..... Ball Skills , Second to None ..... Absolutely Phenomenal Footballer, Graceful, Talent beyond Messure . So Greatful that we had him at Arsenal. God bless you Liam Brady You'll always be missed .
Liam Brady had skill and energy when he played for the Arsenal. He created a goal for his former Arsenal teammates MacDonald and Stapleton. His best goal has to the North London derby against Tottenham forty four years ago which the former BBC football commentator Motson said”Look at that, look at that”.
Just after he scored you see him run to where I was standing to the left of the goal and as he jumped with his hand in the air he shouted "Fuck the Spurs!" That was a great day for the Arsenal, Alan Sunderland got it going with a goal after 47 seconds! I met Chippy a few times during his Arsenal career and was gutted when he left for Italy. He was so good, he good do anything with a ball and certainly doesn't have the worldwide reputation he deserved.
@@dalboysoccerstar True. Liam's open letter to his dear football rival." El Diego" went to every corner of the football world and translated to many languages. Amazing words!!
Some of the sly nutmegs and little passes to himself display an incredible football brain and what natural balance his left was legendary but had a great right foot too.He just seemed a little laid back at times always felt he was playing at 80%.Its what stopped him being in the balon dor bracket.But between 78-81 he was best around.
As a fanatical Gunner from the mid sixties, along with George Armstrong, he is my all time favourite player. I was distraught when he left for Italy. 7 years later I was fire safety officer on match days at West Ham, and was privelidged to witness the last couple of years of his career, including his amazing finale v Wolves, where he came off the bench for a 15 minute cameo. He strolled round the pitch with little glimpses of his class, and, as we entered the final minute, with me assuring all around how good he really had been, he suddenly went past a couple of players and struck a beauty into the top corner from 25 yards! Best finish to a great career I will ever witness!
I played against him once in a local 'road league' under 16 game and he was by far the best player on the pitch , always aware of what was around him and able to read the game and pick out the best pass or when to go on a run. We used to see him play in the local park in Whitehall in Dublin and people knew he was going places with that kind of talent.
I spoke to Liam Brady at an evening event last night mate and he said maradona was by far the best he had ever played against Liam said he played against him at least half a dozen times. Two absolute legends Brady and maradona
@@josephitis0163 and some movements from Messi are doppelganger of Brady, the way he takes fellows out of sight very similar to the Brady from Juve and Inter
On this era pitches and rules Brady would thrive. Genuine world level player. Arsenal got good years from him. Despite finishing 3rd immediately after he left Arsenal did not recover until GG took over. A genuine success in italy. Unfortunate to play in an era for ireland where they lacked that one player who may have made the difference in qualifying. Top player worthy of any greatest team for any club he played for. Walks into an all star 🇮🇪 Ireland team.
Brady played 2 good seasons with Juventus, but was later sold for Michel Platini's arrival. In Italy there could only be 2 foreigners per team. Famous the decisive penalty for the championship victory against Catanzaro. He knew he had been sold to Sampdoria
What a pity he couldn't have played in 88 euros ,would've so deserved after his great service to the republic of ireland. What a great player he was. Eventhough apparently he didn't like charltons way of playing etc he didn't ever abandon his country . 100% respect to liam.
He could just jinx past players as if they weren't even there! His dribbling was so elegant and his playing style was really easy on the eye. As others have mentioned, he's right up there with the likes of Roy Keane, Giles and Paul McGrath as one the greatest Irish players ever.
Brady, Platini, Del Piero, Best, Rush, Dalglish, Zico etc etc etc etc.... All absolute supreme world class players of their time. Today? Ronaldo, Messi, & a few others. Who today cant be kicked into row Z by the full back every time they get the ball
Went to watch his last game at Middlesbrough one May evening unfortunately we lost 5.0or something like that but such a gifted player with that split second more time on the ball than other players ,One of the few players who made it abroad.
Sublime bonus Brady goal here at 0:20 ua-cam.com/video/hW5IguIM7Gk/v-deo.html & another one long range one against Derby at 0:45 here >> ua-cam.com/video/BE3WvzxlQRY/v-deo.html
Always said, George Best & Liam Brady were the two best players from around the British Isles. Brady was better than Dalglish, Hoddle, Barnes, Waddle, Gascoigne. The ball was glued to Brady's foot, as he dribbled waltzed, in & out of the oppenents, in that nonchalant style he had. His passes were things of beauty & he scored tremendous goals. He did it in the hardest league ever, full of the best defenders from around the world. 80s scudetto.
He was injured for Euro 88, but should have been in the Ireland squad for Italia 90. Jack Charlton cast him aside , for long ball , Huffing the ball up - field tactics , Sadly.
I agree, but don't forget Ronnie Whelan. Six league titles, a european cup. Incredibly intelligent reader of the game. Poise and composure. And could put a mean tackle in too.
@@michaelmulhall5007 I couldnt see Giles, Ronnie was very good, but he should have remained as an attacking midfielder, he took the easy route like Simeone and Beckham and became a center midfielder, Ron was very compòsed on the ball...very good but he quitted his attacking sense. As for greatest irish players, Stapleton was unstoppable at his prime a bit like Gabriel Batistuta
Late 70s i got My heros signature highbury great days but He went on To.greater thinks In italy which was the greatest League In the 80s the left was the best great days then exported gazza
I'm the right footed player,but try to play likes Brady i used to play my left footed during my teen days back then in1979 when Arsenal trashed red faced MU in FA Cup Final considered the best FA cup final all of time...

still roy keane for me but the top 3 is definitely keane mcgrath brady in any order you like
I'm an Inter Milan Great fan and i have incredibile respect for him, what incredibile left foot, One of the best midfielder in serie A

What a player, one of my favourites, shame he left the Arsenal too early, he was an incredible watch. Thank you Liam for all the memories.
Undoubtedly a truly world class player and still going strong chatting regularly with Dunphy on his podcast.....well worth a listen
Class on the field. Class off the field. That’s Liam Brady. Thanks for all you did for Ireland. And thanks for all you did in England. And Italy. 😊 E.
John Barnes on the radio saying he was the greatest player ever from Britain and Ireland brought me here...
Barnes is jamaican best player of all time!!!
As a fellow Dubliner have to agree 'Chippy' was a relly great footballer ,but have to disagree with JB. Having both Brady and George Best play and I'd say George was a better all round player . However, Liam was definitely the more 'sensible' off the field.
What a fantastic player. Congrats on putting together a great video.

What a player if honest I just missed out on watching him play at Highbury.
Reading liam autobiography right
now enjoyable
Finest midfielder I've ever seen at Arsenal

Ozil is 10 times better and achieved way more than him
@@wizardpc94 then you are deluded
Liam just had that X factor...
Was always there at Highbury watching him every home game...
Never ever put a foot wrong, nearing 60 now but the greatest days i ever had...
Arsenal Forever ❤️❤️❤️
Brillant video ..what a collection of great goals from Liam Brady..World Class!
Arsenal fan here. Until today, I didn’t know Liam Brady. I am impressed.
You missed an absolute diamond of a player, he was fantastic.

So Greatful that we had him at Arsenal.

Beautiful montage. Wonderful music
Thanks for that wow Brady was class player. Hope we c his likes again.
Brilliant player and brilliant pundit,was an integral part of that compelling panel on RTE,miss those days

The truth. Elite skills.

Brady got a hiding, Liam Brady got a hiding😂😂😂😂if you know you know YA
My favourite player whenever he played at the boleyn - absolutely amazing.
What an incredible player, what an amazing left foot,skill beyond belief,one of my heroes when I was a kid ❤️👌
Shame he dosent get the credit he deserves he was so good
Shame you can't spell. But, even Maradona begged him publicly to not leave Serie A
You forgot a period at the end of your last sentence. It's a shame that a grammar Nazi can't recognize his own mistakes.
He is ranked number 8 of most important players to Arsenal. He got the credit.

Agreed but I'd add Giles to that list
and John Giles
Great video!
Great Player. Thanks Liam
Speechless. tell me there is a second part. Liam and Diego my two childhood heroes, Thanks mate!!

Today? Ronaldo, Messi, & a few others. Who today cant be kicked into row Z by the full back every time they get the ball
What a magical left foot Chippy had 😮😮
A magic left peg. Pure class
The Greatest Irish footballer Johnny Giles and Liam Brady. Cracks...
Paul McGrath was a far superior player than Giles.
Arsenal legend, thank you Chippy.
I was Just a kid and a Liverpool supporter, but I remember Liam Bradys penaltys for Arsenal . 👍

Grandissimo giocatore, pochissimo considerato nel calcio mondiale , forse per la sua provenienza o perchè ha giocato nella Juventus
Great video👍
J ai 57 ans et j'avais beaucoup d'admiration pour lui dans les années 80. Un grand demi offensif.
Mais oui avec Platini et "Le Diego" le foot d'autrefois , frere
et le gauche Liam
0:29 Sacred Heart of Jesus what a goal. He ripped that defence apart like a beast! 😊
Giles and Brady, they were the greatest Irish players.
Nah Roy Keane is better than Giles.

The fact that 50 years later Arsenal fans still pick him in their all-time xi speaks volumes..
AN ABSOLUTE LEGEND FOR ARSENAL!!! PUTS SOME OF THE TRASH OF NOW TO SHAME!!!
Too good to play for his country his most memorable game was scoring the winner against Brazil before the long ball
3:12 is what I'm talking about
Liam was a class act and a true credit to the game. And i’m not a gunners fan.
Brilliant player... excellent tribute...name of the song;;
