Well, it would be a very sad, narrow-minded way to live a life if you couldn't enjoy certain things, based on the fact that you support a certain club.
I'm an LFC fan, and last night I watched the Alex Ferguson documentary Never Give In.... it was excellent I imagine a UTD fan would have enjoyed that even more 😅
As a Liverpool fan, and even though it was nearly 50 years ago, it was still pleasing to see we beat your lot. Don't worry though, you got your revenge when you beat us in the cup final and stopped us doing the treble. First European Cup for us that year, you can hear them talking about Rome in the doc.
Memories that will last forever I was 11 back then in 77 and I'm a neutral but can name every single Liverpool player even now 46 years later ...how many players could we name now in 46 years time ..all today's footballers are instantly forgettable this lot will be with us forever ..all legends and a legendary manager ...thank them all for making us love football the way it should be played for the fans and the glory not the money...
I think part of it was the small squads and long one club careers. Altho some of those players left other big clubs for Liverpool eg Souness and Ray Kennedy. As for loyalty... Keegan? In some ways I think football was better back then, in some ways not so good.
No airs and graces, just honest lads playing their hearts out. An example to all todays players. This is why Liverpool will always be the nations flagship club . . . . . . . . . . and the Kop will always be world football's first choir.
I loved this era in British football, ..muddy pitches, hard tackling, and cold tea at halftime ,.. now its over sanitised, with perfect pitches , VAR and players who wimp out with the slightest touch,... transport me back to the days of proper football anytime
You're right (I am sad to say it)! You only had to watch a few minutes of yesterday's FA Cup Final to realise how much the rules have changed. Robot Referees with no emotion, VAR is basically HawkEye with a different name. Is it any wonder many football fans are turning their backs and seeking alternative, lower league football to follow these days?
@@stevendecube2832 I'm totally disillusioned with the game these days to be honest , ...its unrecognisable to the game I grew up loving and watching years ago,....the game with imperfections was made it so perfect to me,....but it's become this over sanitised money monster that simply leaves me cold.....I tend to get more enjoyment from non league football theses days,......its more organic and not saturated in greed that's killing the game
@@chrisevans4123 agreed, although I hate to say it I don't think things will ever go back to how they were. I know that AFC Liverpool call themselves 'affordable football' for people who were priced out from going to Anfield (which were one of the original family football working class football clubs, even before Watford did it). I've found myself following the results of a local team to where I'm living, which says it all really. Watching Match of the Day and especially yesterday's match really gets on my nerves to the point of turning the channel.
I have grown up in the 80s supporting LFC but you can't stand still in time. If we did this we would still ride horses instead of cars and air planes. We as people species move on with the times.
Well said guy's 👍.. Standing on the terraces, 14/15man squads, 2 subs etc ect .. Those really were the day's! I almost don't recognize the game now, Var, money & the woke brigade have conspired to ruin it!
Greatest team there’s ever been under paisley and he doesn’t get the recognition that he deserves apart from in Liverpool what he achieved in such a short time is incredible
An incredible bit of film. I'm 67 now and I've been a Liverpool fan pretty well all my life. I made sure my son was a fan of the greatest club around because you see, I married an Evertonian. My father-in-law tried to make him a Blue, but I would have none of it. LOL. To see this documentary has brought back so many fond memories ,especially seeing Emlyn Hughes, to this day, my favourite player of all time. YNWA. C'mon you REDS!!!!!
I'm 13 years younger Stephen. I've been a fan since 74. Its glorious to see a real 'wizard' in life and his genius. Mr. Paisley need to go to hogwarts, take the 'wand' out of dumbledorf's hands, break it in two and throw him out into the street. What a genius the Clever Bob Paisley was in life. I see this video and its more real to me than the world today. What a 'Wizard' he was in life! and Emilyn Hughes! The Defender; My Idol, even more so than the future Dalglish. Very fond memories.
I have been a Liverpool supporter since my Dad took me to my first game at Anfield at the age of 4. I will die a Red. I Love this club and have been extremely honoured to see them standing on the Kop, the boys pen and at different parts of the ground. Best Team in World Football. LFC4EVER!
Yes I remember Keegan leaving,then I was quite excited when they signed Dalglish,who was already a star at Celtic, I was only 12 in 77 but I was a big Liverpool fan despite being on the other side of the planet in Melbourne, we had just returned from the UK where we visited my grandparents in StHelens, and I had had my first GameDay experience at a3-3 draw with Ipswich at Anfield, came back in 79/80 and saw a couple more games from the Kop, great times, it was a different world in those days.take it easy, YNWA.
Utterly extraordinary. Ashes scattered on the playing pitch, queuing up for tickets for the Kop ("£3 please"), a cosy chat in the manager's office about the team sheet, burning rubbish on the stands, no adverts. The whole thing has the air of a Sunday league amateur club, not one of the greatest football clubs in the world in the middle of its greatest run of domestic and international successes. But it seems inevitable that those days couldn't continue when you see how ramshackle everything is. Not just at Anfield, of course, but across all football. Still, wouldn't we rather have those days (albeit without the piss and violence on the terraces) than today's overpriced glitzy commercialism?
What a fantastic 'lost in time' report that was. Jaw dropping moments throughout. Can you imagine Kane or Haarland berating a fan, still in their car, of bad parking at the grounds, these days?
Most players of today have about as much personality as a turnip. Listening to some of them talk is the most boring, predictable crap a person can endure.
The days when football players took hard tackles without rolling about on the floor, feigning injury. The days when players were approachable and were known to join fans for a pint. The days when football had a soul and players played for the love of playing and not motivated by money. I'd love to see the 77-78 LFC team against today's Premier league teams.
Ah the days when you could break an opponent's leg and not get booked and get dementia later in your life due to heading heavy footballs. Jumpers for goalposts 😂😂😂
Bring back the good old days of 70's and 80's Liverpool played football!!! Winning the league nearly every season!!! We've missed that for over 40 years now!!! "Never mind Europe, the league is our bread and butter" Bill Shankly
Evertonian here. All my arch enemies in one place ruining my childhood! Still, real footy, real players, grounds &pitches. All working class relatable. Not now full of massively overpaid out of touch mercenaries , pricing us all out of our game. Brilliant time capsule of a(unfortunately for me!) brilliant team.
in 1984 we were European Champions again. Just before the first home game of 1984/85 we went up to Anfield on a weekday to buy tickets. No one was around. Took 10 minutes - then all the players came out to get on the coach to Melwood the training ground. Got all their autographs. Again no one was around. Players just signed and spoke to their fellow players and then walked on. So deadpan. Then we went into the souvenir shop at the back of the Kop. It was like a big hut. As European champions Anfield held 45,000 then and the crowd was 33,000 for the first game. Just way more relaxed and chill compared to now. No fuss or hype. Little media coverage and 90% of the crowd were regulars. it was like being in a club. And a lot more mystique as well as not everything was covered by media. You did not see other teams or players as much especially European teams. Liverpool played Manchester United on January 1, 1984. Two of the biggest clubs in Europe, two of the best teams both going for the title and no footage exists. It was never shown on tv. I'm sad that my children wont get to experience this and little things like going on holiday and then going out of your way to get the news papers from back home (which were always a day late). You really felt away from it all and in a foreign country.
I am a West Ham fan but I remember those days like yesterday. John Smith, the way he talked and gesticulated made me smile. It would be good to see one from the next season when Dalglish joined.
Nice short film , this would have been Keegans final weeks as a Liverpool player, imagine the emotions he must have been going through before his move to Hamburg
I was lucky enough to be a supporter during the era when we stood in the Kop, half way up behind the goal. the surges forward when we scored was a buzz thats hard to describe, the whole crowd moved as one. I was also lucky when my cousin was scouted by LFC and we got the full on tour, I touched the ``This is Anfield`` sign in its original spot over the original players entrance. Sitting still doesnt feel right.
it's interesting John Smith pointing out we were one of the few clubs left without adverts round the ground, yet a few years later we were one of the first to have adverts on the SHIRTS (Hitachi)
Idolised Bob as well as the team and even with managers past and present success Bob Paisley will always be my No1 and the ERA i fell in love with club .
That's Walter Orr in the ticket office my mum and Dad's best friend no longer with us sadly , lived in Mirriam Rd with his wife Edna , worked on turnstiles with my Dad
My Dad started work on ships in 1963 in Australia, he was 13. To get the job as a deckboy, he had to promise to be a lifelong Liverpool fan and that all his kids would be LFC fans too. The Boson was from Liverpool. My dad shook hands and agreed. I have many fond memories of early early mornings in the 1980's being woken up to watch Liverpool play. In the 90's my Dad and I had a falling out. I left home and started supporting Spurs - that's MY team. But I always have a soft spot for Liverpool and never feel bad when they succeed.
A little bit of research shows this went out 24 hours after the United game on BBC1 sportsnight on Wednesday 4th May. A few days after Rome there was a 30 minute programme presented by Stuart Hall called Hope in their Hearts in which the liverpool players and staff talked about the season. Can't find any footage but I'm sure someone out there has an old vhs tape gathering dust in the attic.
I was 8 years old + remember only watching their matches on TV. So this is good to see what went on behind the matches. Also so good to see so many familiar bootroom faces.
I was 4 years old and it wudn't be another 5 years b4 I started to understand the game and supporting the club .... took me another year to understand wtf is 'off-side'😅
How much do you think Bob would be worth these days ? He would chased around the world all the big teams would want him . Thankfully he stayed one of us
As a United fan, I love seeing old footage like this you can see that LFC was these people's lives they love their club and I respect that the game is very commercialized these days if I could pick a handful of real traditional clubs in this country LFC would be one of them.
Frightening to think that the days of Dalglish, McDermott, Kennedy etc are nearly 50 years ago - in those days you are in the school playground kicking a ball around pretending to be them and now well into middle age
I was and agree, it was far better than today. Hard tackles as well and most players got on with it. Prices very different as well. I used to get in to the under 12s for a £1 until I was about 15!
Liverpool won the European Cup in 1977 with 14 English, 1 Irish (from Skem) and 1 Welsh in the squad. 7 Scousers in there. Breaks my heart that fans today don't give a damn that local players are not in the team. Once the team is winning. For me I identify more with local players and football was better when it was tribal. Back then too the players generally played in the reserves so came up with the club to some extent.
Brilliant footage. Have seen bits of it before but never the whole thing. From Tommy Smith in the car park, to the price of the tickets, and trying to find a grass training surface in Rome… it’s all from another era. And l miss it all. Except for Thommo’s wet patch 😂
@@andymacfaul2852 same. Weird how the BBC just pull bits and never show the full 16 minutes. Keegan on the bus was on the history video for example - just that. The Kop was brilliant in 1977 - we had about 15 new songs in the lead up to Rome. That's where the Kop's reputation is cemented. No one came close. Pity they never covered the Kop, stuck a mic in there. And strange how they never covered Keegan's goal. Two great kits but we should have beaten them at Wembley. it still hurts. Great interview with John Smith who it seems first went to Anfield in 1923!
An absolute gem of a programme . George on the mic as he is still now , Golden Goal tickets I remember them, people calling the club for scores as was pointed out in a previous comment , the pink newspaper in the 80's after the match . Standing on the kop , pools coupons and the scores on the side of the pitch instead of adverts (the A-Z blocks) Also the days when the juniors cleaned the players boots and it was a honour back then to say for example I clean Kevin Keagan's boots....can you imagine that now.
Imagine that driver in the car park turning his head looking through the door window, and seeing Tommy Smith waving his paper and expressing his displeasure directly at you. On the pitch or off it, Tommy took no prisoners. The Anfield Iron indeed. R.I.P Tommy.
Never knew about this short documentary, seen couple clips before Tommy Smith arguing with the driver and Thommo and Johnson on the stand never knew they was from this
I remember as a youngster (a bit later in the 80s) ringing the Liverpool club premium number for latest news on the team then wondering why my day went bonkers over the phone bill. I can hear the little intro now🎵🎵 Liverpool Clubcall🎵🎵
That was still football. Liverpool had a super team and a great crowd in the 1970s. Back then, all the players were from Wales, England, Scotland, Ireland, Northern Ireland. Today, only a few players still play from Great Britain. Today only snobs play who don't identify with the club. I live in South Tyrol (Italy) and was a big fan of AFC Liverpool in the 1970s. Thank you for the good times and for AFC Liverpool. 😀😃🤩
1970s is a world away. These guys remind me of my dad...totally different attitude and outlook - simplicity and practicality in their thinking. Be smart, look smart, get on with it. Saving the whales and ozone layer concerns are still another decade away. Imagine dropping Mario Balotelli into 1977 Liverpool FC 😜
What an amazing piece of footage. Archives like these fascinate me, it's like watching a different club, sport, and even society. If we want be honest with ourselves, we have to admit that this conservative culture, explained by John Smith, is also what led to the club's decline in the early 90s. The club managed poorly the transition to modern football, something MU did perfectly by being proactive, which allowed them to take over. If you went to Old Trafford in the late 80s, you could see that they were already in place for it. Modern services had already been developed there, and discussions about a massive expansion were already taking place. No one imagined that this shift in power could happen, but in reality it was all written in stone.
Special time in my life as a Liverpool fan. Legends all of them. The days before money ruined the game.
With you, highway, keegan, toshack , takes a lot of beating 👍🥊👍
Football couldn't be more different these days. I think it's a great "product" now but it really was the working man's game then.
Yes true
I’m a Man U fan. Fair play to Liverpool. Not built on money. The game is sickening now.
Even as a United fan I enjoyed that, real glimpse into the past, people ringing the club to find out the result!
Well, it would be a very sad, narrow-minded way to live a life if you couldn't enjoy certain things, based on the fact that you support a certain club.
I'm an LFC fan, and last night I watched the Alex Ferguson documentary Never Give In.... it was excellent

A little bit of research shows this went out 24 hours after the United game on BBC1 sportsnight on Wednesday 4th May. A few days after Rome there was a 30 minute programme presented by Stuart Hall called Hope in their Hearts in which the liverpool players and staff talked about the season. Can't find any footage but I'm sure someone out there has an old vhs tape gathering dust in the attic.
Stuart Hall probably has a few VHSs up in his attic, but not the show youre talkin about.
Who else remember J.Toshack managing Real Madrid?
11:45 - P.Thompson, assistant to Houllier and a great stand-in when Houllier wasn't in gud health.
Its always great to see Kevin keegan,he and John Toshack were a lethal partnership.👍
ONE SINGLE WORD TO DESCRIBE THIS .... AWESOME ❤❤
I was 8 years old + remember only watching their matches on TV. So this is good to see what went on behind the matches. Also so good to see so many familiar bootroom faces.
I was 4 years old and it wudn't be another 5 years b4 I started to understand the game and supporting the club .... took me another year to understand wtf is 'off-side'😅
@Are You Lost? Domo, domo
great video, I could watch these all day, simpler times.
this was the year he left and broke my heart
How much do you think Bob would be worth these days ? He would chased around the world all the big teams would want him . Thankfully he stayed one of us
Great video, great memories even though I don’t support Liverpool, brilliant to watch
As a United fan, I love seeing old footage like this you can see that LFC was these people's lives they love their club and I respect that the game is very commercialized these days if I could pick a handful of real traditional clubs in this country LFC would be one of them.
This is just amazing, loved it!
My club liverpool. I love forever ❤❤❤❤
What a amazing video
Wowwwww, takes me back to being 10
years of age . Hanging around the car park for autographs and queuing up for tickets💥💥💥💥❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🥲🥲 YNWA
Brings a tear to my eye that these people made the foundations of our great club starting with Shankly obviously
Frightening to think that the days of Dalglish, McDermott, Kennedy etc are nearly 50 years ago - in those days you are in the school playground kicking a ball around pretending to be them and now well into middle age
Kenny was always my favourite best player ever to puii on the red shirt
I was so lucky to get to see them at this time
And they didn't try to rip you off at the same time
Thank you God!
I wish i was born in this generation proper football
I was and agree, it was far better than today. Hard tackles as well and most players got on with it. Prices very different as well. I used to get in to the under 12s for a £1 until I was about 15!
@@digeme69 3 pound for two tickets 😂😂 add two 0s on the end for these days
Liverpool won the European Cup in 1977 with 14 English, 1 Irish (from Skem) and 1 Welsh in the squad. 7 Scousers in there. Breaks my heart that fans today don't give a damn that local players are not in the team. Once the team is winning. For me I identify more with local players and football was better when it was tribal. Back then too the players generally played in the reserves so came up with the club to some extent.
Brilliant footage. Have seen bits of it before but never the whole thing. From Tommy Smith in the car park, to the price of the tickets, and trying to find a grass training surface in Rome… it’s all from another era. And l miss it all. Except for Thommo’s wet patch 😂
@@andymacfaul2852 same. Weird how the BBC just pull bits and never show the full 16 minutes. Keegan on the bus was on the history video for example - just that. The Kop was brilliant in 1977 - we had about 15 new songs in the lead up to Rome. That's where the Kop's reputation is cemented. No one came close. Pity they never covered the Kop, stuck a mic in there. And strange how they never covered Keegan's goal. Two great kits but we should have beaten them at Wembley. it still hurts. Great interview with John Smith who it seems first went to Anfield in 1923!
An absolute gem of a programme . George on the mic as he is still now , Golden Goal tickets I remember them, people calling the club for scores as was pointed out in a previous comment , the pink newspaper in the 80's after the match . Standing on the kop , pools coupons and the scores on the side of the pitch instead of adverts (the A-Z blocks) Also the days when the juniors cleaned the players boots and it was a honour back then to say for example I clean Kevin Keagan's boots....can you imagine that now.
I
YNWA , Wishing you all the best , good health and happiness.
Even though I'm a Manchester United fan, I'd rather watch this than what passes for football nowadays.
I think many would agree with you
Was waiting for you to show up. Two great kits back then and all
Brilliant
The happiest days of my life.Climbing the steep stairs at the back of the kop at 12.00 and being the only person there😮.
sure you not getting mixed up with Goodison :-)
Thanks... love it
Imagine that driver in the car park turning his head looking through the door window, and seeing Tommy Smith waving his paper and expressing his displeasure directly at you. On the pitch or off it, Tommy took no prisoners. The Anfield Iron indeed. R.I.P Tommy.
Who’s seeing this for the first time ?
Never knew about this short documentary, seen couple clips before Tommy Smith arguing with the driver and Thommo and Johnson on the stand never knew they was from this
@@jonblazeinc it looks like this is part of an even longer program. Would love to see the rest
@@calevy100 yeah hope I can watch it if it's around somewhere
Burning the rubbish in the corners gave me a chuckle. Not sure the Anfield staff would be happy with that these days :)
if everton lose on sunday we are burning the fuckin ground down
Health and safety standards wouldn't allow that today
Yes, pre woke
Crazy to see that from todays standard,it's mad no one saw the Bradford fire coming at some point
A great watch even from a United fan I remember those days well when football was for the fans , it’s sold it’s soul and is now pure tv theatrics
The kop end...28000 people in that end...used to get the bus to sheil road and walk down to the ground..40 pence in
Great video. How times have changed!
Good grief,46 years ago !!!!!!!!
I was at the Ipswich game on April 30th. Standing on the Kop, of course. Full house.
Awesome throwback, telling a Liverpool FC story!
Moran and Fagan, legends
Shankly, Paisley,Fagan,Moran,Dalglish.What a bunch of Liverpool madness!!!
I remember as a youngster (a bit later in the 80s) ringing the Liverpool club premium number for latest news on the team then wondering why my day went bonkers over the phone bill. I can hear the little intro now🎵🎵 Liverpool Clubcall🎵🎵
Wow amazing video how things have changed . This is why a love this club
That was still football. Liverpool had a super team and a great crowd in the 1970s. Back then, all the players were from Wales, England, Scotland, Ireland, Northern Ireland. Today, only a few players still play from Great Britain. Today only snobs play who don't identify with the club. I live in South Tyrol (Italy) and was a big fan of AFC Liverpool in the 1970s. Thank you for the good times and for AFC Liverpool. 😀😃🤩
Wow, what a find
The "no change" play is what sprung the 70s success for the Reds.
Yep. What's the team for today, Mr Shankly?
Same as last week, son.
This is brilliant
Keegan went on to win European player of the year award two years in a row.
1970s is a world away. These guys remind me of my dad...totally different attitude and outlook - simplicity and practicality in their thinking. Be smart, look smart, get on with it.
Saving the whales and ozone layer concerns are still another decade away.
Imagine dropping Mario Balotelli into 1977 Liverpool FC 😜
Quality bit of footage
Wow this is awesome. How basic were the conditions back then . The pitch looked terrible… and one substitute. How would teams today cope!
NOT TO GOOD.
Half time hair styles
What an amazing piece of footage. Archives like these fascinate me, it's like watching a different club, sport, and even society. If we want be honest with ourselves, we have to admit that this conservative culture, explained by John Smith, is also what led to the club's decline in the early 90s. The club managed poorly the transition to modern football, something MU did perfectly by being proactive, which allowed them to take over. If you went to Old Trafford in the late 80s, you could see that they were already in place for it. Modern services had already been developed there, and discussions about a massive expansion were already taking place. No one imagined that this shift in power could happen, but in reality it was all written in stone.
Great video
Amazing video
Fantastic
