Bobby Charlton - what a player. I had the privilege of going to one of his soccer schools and met hime on several occasions. Also met met Sir Matt Busby.
Bobby hit it like an arrow,even the scousers were clapping!!great days being a football fan then,great players ,cheap admission ,no prima donnas ,real rivalry!!
This was my first game at Anfield as a 13 year old. I managed to clamber up some of the metalwork in the Kop and held on for dear life. Thatch of the Day showed Charlton’s 4th goal for long after this game was played and it always reminded me of my first experience. I travelled to Liverpool from 90 miles away in Staffordshire, each part of my journey by bus, as a 13 year old, on my own! Would that happen nowadays? I have a season ticket now in the Main Stand, but never forget that first match………
@@tomthomassony8607 Yes but with respect to him, he couldn't commentate very well in any other sport. His tennis commentary at Wimbledon was awful. But that's just my opinion of course.
I once saw Tomy Smith talking about this match. He said that before the match Shankly spoke to the players and siad that Charlton was an old man, Best had been out drinking, Law was out injured, you'll go out ther and hammer them. This was supposed to be part of Shankly's great pyschological gifts. Tommy finished the anecdote by saying "they thrashed us 4-1". I can't imagine Emlyn Hughes telling that story as it undermines his version of 'Shanks'.
@@MohamedAli-xu3uw True. There were too many of the 60s team still at the club, past their sell-by date. The final straw of course came at Watford, four months after this match.
As other people have mentioned, Liverpool supporters applauding Charlton's good goal. That's nice. I was at Everton one day. Bobby Moore delivered a 30 yard pin point pass, Everton supporters applauded him. You don't see that now.

That was the Liverpool fans applauding the Charlton goal,I was there that day ,and as a kopite I have to say great seeing Best that day,the greatest player I ever saw live. Hate United,but credit where its due.

Look at the state of the pitch. Great game. Nice to see G. Best setting up players with some nice passes, not just going for goal himself. Charlton's goal at the end was sublime. What a great player.
As a long suffering Spurs fan(but with Bros&Cousins as United fans) this was(and still is) the kind of football I enjoy watching.. And if I had the time&could watch football from the 60's up until let's settle on 1996..that would be it for me,I wouldn't waste my time with today's Phony, pretentious (VAR) passionless BS ..And as I said this was Football! .And Man u had Sir Matt (who experienced so much tragedy) ,Bill Shankley,(A truly mesmerizingly fascinating character)And of course Bill Nicholson(A truly decent Man) and of course Brian Clough were the true Legends!!

I was there in the kop. Believe it or not Man Utd put out a weakened team, because of injuries I think, but they did have George Best and Bobby Charlton and they ran the show. I do remember something else about that match - some crazy man utd supporters in the Kop throwing coins at the Kopites! You certainly don't see that today, there'd be a riot.
Not to be racist but, I actually agree with you. I'd prefer the good old days when the Old First Division was dominated by men from the British Isles. It is ok to have foreign players, but they are not supposed to outnumber that of the local players.
@@yossiallen3316 I suspect he is used to it. Most people are. I am. It doesn't mean you can't have a legitimate preference for the way things used to be. And it doesn't make you a "racist".
The world is far better with globalisation, it is great to have foreign players to play football, look at Liverpool, they have Mane, Salah, Firminho, which shows they are far better than English players, don't be ignorant and appreciate immigrants, the country would be in shit without them
George Best You are a Fantastic Football player You are the Best George Best Good bye the Belfast boy World legend Maradona Cruyff Pele George Best is the Best
And this is exactly what it should be like. Rivalry and competition is fine, but no more than that. Sport is about enjoyment and respect and back in the day, great players from rival clubs were were respected for their greatness.

Sorry to burst your bubble about British players not diving. Francis Lee and Rodney Marsh, both English , were prime exponents of diving back then. It did happen.
Sure they were great days mate,I don't think they will ever be back. The Banter and The Respect both sets of Fans had for each other. Even though the rivalry was still there.Whatever happened to The Reserve games on a Saturday when away buses would return if matches were called off and The Home side running out to a gate of 15,000 to 20,000 and The Chants of Liverpool and St John. The Good Days.
Gads this is 42+ years ago. Liverpool guilty of some 'diabolical defending'. Crowd surprisingly quiet, then again I suppose they would be given the score,
As many have said, great goal from Charlton, from a lfc perspective they were in transition as were utd although lfc kept on winning championships, I notice the camera position situated within the Kemlin Road Stand, it swapped the Main in the early 70s.
Look at that Charlton!!... good header and i just know that his left foot also brilliant.. he took the corner with his left foot.. and it's not easy for someone who's good in right
Can you believe only 3months b4 this game utd had been crushed 1-4 at Old Trafford by Southampton and this followed a 0-2 crash to Everton but Utd came back with a 10 game unbeaten run, those were the days great crowds and I've always said anfield and goodison park are fair minded crowds
Not anymore. Anfield is full of bile and hate these days. Just ask them why they pretend to be aeroplanes while complaining about away fans singing sick chants?
Love to hear people criticize today’s defending and then watch that shambolic stuff: random men roaming unmarked in the box, terrible tentative floating clearances and passes. Never mind unathletic, fat keepers. Class strike by Charlton-although you’d question the near-post position on a modern keeper.
Today the situation of English futebol is PATHETIC. Its made only by foreigners ! If you take off them it will collapse. With no doubt the old days were better, only British men, and those days real talents were produced, like Best, Charlton, John Charles, Moore, Hunt, later came Keegan, Hoddle, Barnes. Italy, Germany and France had more domestic players too. The only country that ALWAYS depended foreigners is Spain,
Jesus....not that old myth, Liverpool and Everton were first to travel in large numbers away. Utd soon after. Just go to 2:15 and see the amount of Liverpool in the Scoreboard. Moron. ua-cam.com/video/LA7P8jFjFSQ/v-deo.html

Really? My father and his cousins used to regularly go to aways by train from the end of the war through to the early 60's...got the programmes to prove it.
on the contrary, you can hear the applause from the home crowd when charlton belts in the 4th! can't rememeber ever hearing that for the away team at old trafford.
@Billy Bonds Before my time watching United. Thank you Billy it's good to know. I did know that in the 60's and earlier local teams used to support each other when they played teams from a long way away and especially against foreign teams. My grandfather told me all about that. He would have been very surprised and saddened how sick some of the songs have now become. The rot was started by fans of Liverpool FC back in the late 60's early 70's.

Im not liverpool or man utd...but i always love charlton scoring as he always looks so happy...like a schoolkid
