What a great game to show anyone what a match was like in 1987! Some proper tackles flying about - but that was the norm - so everyone got on with it. Peter Beardsley's goal was a beauty, especially with the build up play from Barnes' back heel. The coverage was good - especially having the players coming out their changing rooms and in/out of the tunnel. And how about Jimmy Hill in his brown leather jacket. Interesting to hear the post match chat - as true then as now...... not much changes. Thanks for uploading! Fantastic to reminisce and soak up the nostalgia!
Memories Memories and Memories .Mate I was at this game one and only game. I live in Melbourne Australia and at that time I was playing for Sth Melbourne Hellas as a 16 year old .I was invited by Both York City and Forrest for Trials .One of the players at York was great Mates with McMahon and I was invited myself and my late Father to this game and wow what an atmosphere nothing like I ever experienced in Australia with AFL football especially.I met my idol Aussie Craig Johnston I remember he telling me his struggles in England and how they told him he wasn't good enough exc . John Barnes was at another level how blood good was he just wow...
Dave. Just a note to say thanks for uploading these fantastic nostalgic games. Halcyon days for liverpool i flew up with them once when i was 7 to livrpool from heathrow. What a treat. Always remember that. Really great viewing this stuff🤘
He's Fat! He's Shit! He's never F........ Fit! Peter Reid! Halcyon Days of the Derby when Reidy dropped his shorts taking a corner at the kop end! Great memories when the game was far more rugged and not ruined by practiced, cheating diving all questioning referees for every throw. Some coaching is pathetic? It is ruining lots of games. Image Reid McMahon in current game? Roy Keane? Etc.....
I remember watching this game as a 13 year old, great memories. Something I have noticed though and from other videos I’ve watched again…. Grobbelaar did seem to have too much to say for himself, and comes across as confrontational…. Then with what came out later, I wonder if he should have been replaced a lot lot sooner 🤷♂️
My favourite Beardsley goal. I had a season ticket in the Kemlyn this season, had a great view of that shot. But Jimmy Hill's suggestion that there was some talk of Beardsley's place being under threat? That was absolute bollocks.
He did struggle a bit just before this game (and after it) and Walshy was still knocking about and Houghton was just signed (freeing up Johnston to possibly play forward). I remember at a home game against Chelsea a month later and hoping he would come good as it was slightly up in the air. He had a lot of scrutiny given the price tag and Barnes' immediate impact seemed to put even more expectation on him. It was Christmas 1987 when Beardsley finally broke the shackles and his genius stood on its own. He was one of my favourite players. Walshy was my favourite. I always loved the small jinky number 7 types (Scholl was another one)
@@randyborstol2491 Some fair points there. I would argue though that it was the instant, incredible start that Barnes made which gave rise to the notion that Beardsley, who admittedly had a quieter start, was actually struggling. But you’re right, by Christmas he was on fire, and his form stayed that way the rest of the season
was 10 years old at the time of this and remember trying to keep up to date with the score on the radio, calling the 0898 clubcall and teletext page 303 i think.
39:25 the fella just jumps on the pitch, walks to his seat and climbs back in. Was this the normal thing back then? Is that what all the other people are doing too?
He's not on the pitch, just the pitch-side track. The legroom was really tight in the Kemlyn Road stand so as his seat was in the front row it was much easier to walk along the front of the stand rather than trying to squeeze past everyone on his row.
Barry Davies man them comments he makes fuckinel gives me goosebumps ❤ the streets of the city of Liverpool left to the few uncommited a can’t remember the rest but that is fuckin unbelievable what a fuckin game I’ve watched or listened to this abar 500 times frantic the two best in the world rar there that’s are best ever team absolute magic had everything
It was normal then at derby matches. In theory there were home and away sections but in practice there used to be loads of away fans in home areas for derby matches at both Anfield and Goodison.
Sounds possible. Better than my thoughts: Campione, campione tune: We'd rather, bank at Barclays, than shop at Littlewoods Wemberley tune: Littlewoods, Littlewoods, we'd rather bank at Barclays than shop at Littlewoods If anyone can find the song in this video, please let us know.
l actually remember watching this as a 9 year old with my older brother in our home in london in 1987...after beardsley's goal...we both went mental....and after everton fans starting calling us ''ni***rpool'', and chants of ''everton are white''....Being of mixed-race heirtage ...l've hated everton since this season
distantvoices it’s not a myth if it actually happened, and I don’t need to watch it again to know McMahon turned after letting the ball run across and was put in the air almost identically as in the clip. If you want to argue that the impact was overhyped and a bit apocryphal, that’s fine. I believe even some of the Wimbledon players said that if the penalty had not been saved, they probably would have lost.

I don't think all games in 1987 had this level of intensity, on or off the pitch.
The Kop back then was unmatched.
Just look at that Kop.....fantastic.

What the atmosphere at Anfield , especially the old Kop used to be like…electric.

Good old Trevor Brooking as I'm Liverpool supporter always had time for him great seeing the old Kop End as well loved it in there

the game was live on BBC1!
I'm glad the back pass law changed.

How come use see both set of fans in same stands
It was normal then at derby matches. In theory there were home and away sections but in practice there used to be loads of away fans in home areas for derby matches at both Anfield and Goodison.
"we rather bank at Barclays than shop at Littlewoods" - sings the Kop. One of the most surreal chants.
What was the tune please? I don't remember hearing this.
@@DaveWallerLFC I don't know :-) David Lacey mentions it in his match report. 'we're gonna win the football league again(clap clap clap)' tune?
Sounds possible. Better than my thoughts:
Campione, campione tune: We'd rather, bank at Barclays, than shop at Littlewoods
Wemberley tune: Littlewoods, Littlewoods, we'd rather bank at Barclays than shop at Littlewoods

Reid tackle on McMahon in the first half kinda foreshadows Vinnie Jones at Wembley

Maybe Jones was watching.
When was the first goal??
35th minute of the game; about 39 mins on the video.
Barnes is just a class above. Probably the only player that could make it in the modern game
And this was Barnes' first season at Liverpool. He went on to become the complete Liverpool player. Legend.
I heard Neville Southall cut down to 24 pies a day for this match. 🤣
Proper derby
Merseyside is red♦️♦️♦️♦️
Fucking arl Reidy looks younger now.
Such a boring match.
That's not my recollection. Would you care to expand your reasons for thinking this?
11 years of age in the kop with me uncle prob one of my fav Liverpool goals from pedro 😎
