Ervine Okuboh what's the paddock enclosure

maybe he means the terrace in front of old mainstand?

@Paul Morris are you getting anger management now?

The paddock enclosure was just in front of the main stand and was much more calm than the Kop or Anfield Road ends. It was a safer place to stand with the kids.

@Paul Morris That is what it was called ! There was a sign near the old car park which said "paddock enclosure ". I had been going there since 1964. How many times have you been to Anfield ? Idiotic imbecile !!

No. They were just a bunch of w a n k e r s.

No way he was better than Kenny. No one else thinks that either.

@@nolls14 Er are you sure? Already more likes than dislikes to my comment. I'm clearly not the only one who had this opinion. I have always thought that the greatest achievement was being among those who first achieved dominance rather than those who came in to continue an already dominant side.

@@northernenglander1916 I fully respect your opinion NE , and KK was great for Liverpool and a great player. However Kenny had even more of an influence on the team generally than Keegan ever had, hit the ground running and overall was a better footballer than Keegan. That's not to take anything away from Kevin, but he was just not as gifted as Dalglish. If you asked 9 out of ten old school reds, I'm sure they'd agree..Just my opinion anyway ;)

@@nolls14 I think it is the other way round. Keegan was the better footballer but Dalgleish had great touch and subtle play particularly towards the end of his career

@@northernenglander1916 I agree with that point.

I couldn't believe it. I saw the defender and thought it looked like David O'Leary, but then thought nah, it's 1977.

Robert C Lynch O’Leary holds record for most appearances for any Arsenal player, he played from 1975 to 1993.

Played a few games for Leeds afterwards before hanging up his boots for good.

Won the Div 1 Championship with that remarkable Villa 80-81 side. Unlucky to be injured V Bayern in Rotterdam a year after. Still spawned the career of Nigel Spunk, who played out of his skin in the European Cup Final of 82

A pleasure to watch them in this game.A very good side.

He is why I'm a LFC supporter

@@iandawson3171 looking forward to tonight. Reminds me of our Euro Cup finals from the 70s and 80s. Such good days.

He was amazing. Time after time it would look like he was about to lose the ball, but a fraction of a second before that happened he'd pass the ball to another Arsenal player. He had real delicate skill and great vision.

Remember him as a youngster training with Arsenal at London Colney. He had a wand of a left foot even then.

totally natural player

I'd have picked Zico over Brady. Every day of the week.

Rosy glow of nostalgia It is a world which has gone forever

Le football était très esthétique et fluide. L'envie était évidente.

You're right . The game was on 16/04/1977

According to the 1976-77 page it is the case: www.lfchistory.net/SeasonArchive/Games/18

If this game had really been played on 22 April, that would make it a Friday kick-off.

@@johnholmes8178 Good Friday??

@@matthewrichards9658 There is a tradition of playing games on Good Friday. But not in this case. Liverpool met Everton in the FA Cup Semi-Final on 23 April.

I thought that.

Back in the seventies, a lot of people still had black and white televisions so if Arsenal wore blue shorts, they'd appear dark grey on tv - as would Liverpool's. There would've been a mild kit clash.

Wore them at The Dell a decade or so later with the Bruised Banana top. I remember pictures of Ian Wright in the kit with white shorts.

Wore it at spurs only time wr never played in red there in the mid eighties i think

Fuck LiVARpool

@@KirkLee1983 Fuck you!

Dalglish had good passing ability great attacking position awareness he’s also the reason Liverpool have won lots of European Trophies ....I won’t choose any over each other for me there the 2 best Number 7 we had in the club two players with different playing style can’t compare Them

@@ahmed5448 Can't agree more.

It was.

@Andy Smith It wasn’t played in July

I6th April.

Still could if clubs wanted. Nothing in rules to say they couldn't. England goalkeepers wore separate kit in 70s onwards. Nothing more now than a means to sell more kit.

If that is the case then how on earth did they win the European Cup against Gladbach then. They lost the FA Cup Final through a miskick that took a deflection. That has to be considered unlucky rather than their poor away form. It was a very long season filled with injuries to key players and one must remember that Liverpool did not have a big squad in those days. Under those circumstances the season has to be considered a terrific success

Just saying their away form was dreadful check the records had the FA cup final been played at Anfield we would have been the first to win the treble not the Manks whose home AND away form in 1998-99 was excellant you cannot rely completely on your home form yes we beat Borussia but it was a neutral venue for them too and it was 50/50 who would win just like at Wembley

I don't agree that their poor away form had anything to do with them not winning the FA Cup or the treble. If it was because of poor away form how on hell did they manage to win the Lergue then. How did they get to the FA Cup final or the European Cup Final - not all games were at home. The FA Cup winner scored by Manure was a fluke winner by Lou Macari which deflected off Jimmy Greenhoff and bounced into the net before Phil Neal could kick it away that did it. If they were poor away from home then please explain how they beat Gladbach in Rome. Was it because of Divine intervention because they saw the Pope dressed in red. The European Cup was close until Tommy Smith headed in that corner. Yes Rainer Bonhoff hit the post with one shot for Gladbach but Liverpool were close on other occasions as well and I like Gladbach as a team.

Look you can't hide the facts our away form in the league was crap like that of a relegation team not one who is chasing a treble so our side was not set up to win away from Anfield we would and should have beaten United but our AWAY from Anfield form was crap

But you are saying in your earlier statements that the poor away form probably cost Liverpool the FA Cup. I am saying that that is a load of Bovine Scatology. If Liverpool's poor away form did cost them then they would never have won the League, The European Cup or even got to the final of the FA Cup. You are just trying to erode their achievements which I think is wrong...for a Liverpool supporter. Stop trying to find fault where there is very little. They were a great side that year and let that be the end of it. Game over!

From about 1965-67, teams were allowed to make one substitution if a player was injured. From '67, it could be for tactical reasons too. In 1987 they were allowed 2 subs. In 94, they could have up to 3 substitutions if one of them was the keeper. From 1995-96 it has been any three players.
