Liverpool 2-2 Ajax, European Cup 1966

- In the first leg of this second round tie, Ajax had shown a glimpse of the side that would dominate European football by beating Liverpool 5-1 in the Amsterdam fog. Nevertheless, Bill Shankly still believed that his side could knock out Rinus Michels's charges at Anfield. History was against them -- no side had yet pulled back a four goal deficit in the European Cup. And they had a 19-year-old Johan Cruyff to contend with. The commentator is Gerry Loftus.
Cruyff loved the Liverpool fans and kop. What a legend
My first game as a spectator. Dad took me. I was 7 y.o. and we had seats in the Kemlyn Rd Stand. I chose Ian Callaghan as my first hero. I can always say that I saw Roger Hunt and Johan Cruyff score on my first visit to Anfield. I felt so important when I took the matchday programme in to the Broadgreen Infants school the next day.
Great story Eric, greets from a Ajax fan.
@@sjalom45 I am pleased that you enjoyed reading my comments. I wish I still had the matchday programme in my collection. I would also like to be a 7 Y.O. again.
After reading cruyfs book he said the fans of Liverpool where the best he’d seen that night ...
and he regretted not playing in the English league
I was there that night. I went to the match straight after finishing school to make sure I got a good spec in the Kop.Bill Shankly was convinced that we could turn the tie around and so we're all the supporters. That's the only game at Anfield that You'll never walk alone was played twice at the insistence of the great man himself. I was convinced then and I'm sit ill convinced to this day that if the shot by Peter Thompson had gone in instead of hitting the bar we would have turned them over.That fledgling Ajax side had the late great Johan Cruyff in the forward line who was 19 yrs old and scored 3 goals in both legs. although they were not at that stage the great side they became a few years later they were the first Side to play the quick counter attacking football that we see today.The great man said he learnt a valuable lesson from this defeat in that you couldn't aford to be too offensive in European club football particularly in the away leg. He went on to win a UEFA cup however he only had one more chance to win the big one in 1974. However his rebuilt championship team lost to Red Star of Belgrade in the second round. As good as his second side were, they couldn't match his great sixties side.Thanks for posting Adrian. It's brought back some fond memories to this old codger,
Start of Ajax period with THE great Cruyff
Dear Mr. Brown,
I am journalist in Holland and making a documentary about these two matches between Ajax and Liverpool, since it is 50 years ago next December. I would like to get in touch with you about this match.
If you read this message, and would like to be a part of this documentary, can you then send me an email at: ajaxliverpool66@gmail.com ?
Kind regards,
Okko van de Berkt
I read an article about fans in The Kop fainting and being treated on the pitch. Do you remember anything of that?
great story Christopher, greets from a great Ajax fan.
Leuk om te zien.
Cruyff feared nobody and nothing, except when playing in Anfield. Barcelona had a good taste of that in 2019 when the world thought Ajax and Barca would reach a Cruyff final...
Liverpool knocked his Barcelona side out of the 1976 semi final of the UEFA Cup as well then went on to win the final.

First match in European Cups for Barry Hulshoff
At 0:59 it's the youngster Cruyff and not Swart... the commentator got that wrong. First dropping Ron Yeats on his bum and then another Lvpl defender.
Who would've thought this would be their last match in the European Cup for the next 54 years not until 2020.
.......Liverpool won the league and played in the European Cup 1973-4 1976-7 1977-8 1979-80 1980-81 1982-3 1983-4 1984-5 1986-7 1988-9 1990-91. Before the Champions League format.

He means the last time Ajax and Liverpool would play each other in the European Cup / Champions League until 2020
