- 4th round League Cup tie from Anfield in November 1985. The game is famous for a brilliant goal by Jan Molby which for years seemed to have survived only in the memory of those fortunate enough to be there to witness it. Footage of that goal turned up a few years ago, and here are highlights of the game.
It's shot by a single camera with no commentary or replays.
Paul McGrath gave United an early lead before Molby scored 2 goals in a couple of minutes in the second half to win the game.
Molby’s goal still a classic one of the best I saw at anfield
I was on the Kop that night with my dad and uncle and I have to say that it was one of the most fervent atmospheres I ever encountered at Anfield. Despite being champions 7 times in that decade, we struggled to beat United, who always managed to raise their game. We had waited a long time for this victory and it meant so much.
The Kop at it's swaying, surging best. There's not a better sight in football.
When the league cup meant so so much, and the players were proper men playing fantastic football, the fans full of passion , standing was for the diehards, seats for the over 50s mainly. Refs allowed , certain, tackles to go , lets say unnoticed, and the coppers were prepared to let us fans have our differences outside the ground, fantastic times and sure beats 80 percent of the crap now a days
Molbys greatest goal. Thank god someone taped this, because the BBC was on strike so the game was never televised.
I was on the kop with my Dad that night I am so pleased this footage has turned up... What a fantastic goal!
I was 11 years old and right behind the goal I started crying when we where one down I think I can just make me out with my arms resting on the bars. Great memories 🙂
Great to see this footage after thinking it was lost.. It's actually far better with no commentary. It's a lot more raw.
We're very lucky to have these pictures because this game wasn't televised - hence no commentary. Apparently it was United who requested that it be filmed.
Had to watch it again! What a player Paul McGrath was.
Went to this game with me mates the kop was bouncing big jan molby was class and what a first goal ..good times..
Thanks for uploading this...no words really...I was in the main stand, Kop end that night and yes, there are many goals as good as Jan's equaliser, but none better YNWA...
I'd pay anything to be able to watch footy on TV without commentary like this.
I was 15 .. kop end .. when molly scored I went one way and my glasses the other ... some fella went er lad and put me on my feet with the said glasses .. molbys goal was unreal .. great game by both teams .. but glad I was an LFC that day ..
I am probably one of the only people who went to this match but missed Molby's thundercracker because I'd gone for a piss, or something like that. I was 14 and, to this day, can only remember one more occasion with a more feral atmosphere than this one and that was the semi at Goodison. I wasn't at the Chelsea semi in 2005 so I can't compare them, but it's difficult to describe just how raucous it was against United. The fact it was the league cup did not dilute it at all.
Big Jan. What a player he was!
Man united started filming their matches from September 1985, missing the first 2 matches. Great for Liverpool fans that they did. Pity Liverpool didnt have the foresight to do the same. Watford were the pioneers of club videos. They started as early as 1980 i believe.
Stunning strike by Molby,surely one of his most spectacular goals!
The Saturday league games were filmed by ITV with the familiar ITV commentators of the time Brian Moore, Martin Tyler, Peter Brackley but only for overseas broadcast in the international version of The Big Match which was called Big League Soccer which like The Big Match was presented by Brian Moore that was broadcast to Europe, South Africa, The Middle Eastern Arab countries, Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Australia, New Zealand, USA and Canada the 4 Liverpool games (all away) shown in this series in the first half of the 1985-86 season was West Ham v Liverpool 31 August 1985 the Merseyside Derby 21 September 1985, Manchester United v Liverpool 19 October 1985, and Arsenal v Liverpool 14 December 1985
Never knew Jan Molby was such an athlete!! Super player.
