I was behind one of those goal posts working freelance at the time. During pre-game warm up got to meet one of the all time greats Kevin Keegan. Hooliganism was in high gear 1970's. Zurich was locked down in expectation of problems. LOL. Ahhhhh...memories.....
That crackling down the phone line commentary would have been seen as technical issues back than but today it sounds so great. It just the distance between the living room TV & where the match took place.
p.s. zurich brought a few, they was ringing bells in the anny rd end. st.etienne brought thousands, we just made it in bout 4 o clock,after queung down anfield rd all day..............yea,best memories an our team was ace................lfcynwa96
hey mate, this was the semi, just after we done st.etienne in the quarters, yeah, still got me swap st etienne hat, tickets,programmes, the lot, same with the zurich semi, love thinkin bout them days, when you had to be there at 3 o clock just to get in.
I remember listening to the commentary on the radio in our house of this match in the 70s with me Dad went to the game at Anfield I'M A RED UNTIL AM DEAD YNWA
Doğan Babacan (Turkish) was the referee. Do you, remember him from the world cup, 1974? Caszely, the captain of Chile was sent of by him at the match against Germany.
The playing field was a lot more 'level' back then though, throughout Europe. So it wasn't 'too much [sic] easy' at all. To buy Liverpool would probably have cost an entrepreneur two or three times as much as it would Zurich. Liverpool was full of British internationals. Zurich would have had a fair few Swiss ones. Nowadays, it's probably more in the region of FIFTY times as much (or so) to try buying Liverpool. Silly sponsorship money, silly tv money hadn't reached the British Isles by 1977, had it? Zurich will probably never EVER get to another semi-final. The passage of time has been kinder to the big clubs in a handful of European leagues than it has the smaller leagues. You can only beat who you're playing. A lot of times, a lot of the biggest European clubs' European campaigns would falter at the hands of one of these 'easy' teams. Things were different back then. But the achievement of winning a European trophy was every bit as massive back then as it is today and to argue otherwise kind of makes you look pretty ignorant if you ask me. Hope that helps.
Have a nice day. Watched this superb video and say Bravo! Next like from your subscriber living in Baku city

After the madness of St.Etienne 16/3/77, the quarter final,
This was the killer next LFC step
I was at anfield for 2nd leg twas amazing
The muffled commentary, the klaxons and horns of the crowd, the 70's Umbro kits. Has football ever been better?
Has better ever been football? ;)
Am with you mate, esp with the authentic commentary ( with The Great Barry Davies), but am NOT with you on Umbro.....! Adidas and Puma all the way!
I remember that game like it was yesterday, it was the quarter final of the uefa cup against Belgian side grasshoppers Zurich which Liverpool won 1-0

I'd forgotten how good a shot Joey Jones had on him.
It often seems to me like in the 1970s, almost all European Cup games were between a white team and a red team.

Without a doubt, Zurich Zur-out!
Joey Ate the Frog's Legs,
Then he made the Swiss Roll,
And now he's Moenchengladbach!
cheers, 1st leg semi final

That was actually a great tackle on Fairclough
eddie lasowsky not even close lol
he does get the ball. Can clearly see it on the replay. You fucking blind?! But ref of course doesn;t have that benefit. Was a good tackle.
Heighway.

Najłatwiejszy półfinał Liverpoolu, słaby rywal ze Szwajcarii
This is a semi final? Too much easy
