Frank Stapleton has scored some of the clubs most iconic winning goals, A Utd Legend. Old Trafford looked Majestic in them days ATT 56,121.....

This was the first season I started getting interested in football. I chose Manchester United mainly because I already had a replica kit from 1979 when I was very young. But yeah, Ron Atkinson's team played some of the best stuff ever. Shame he made all those blunders though. He let Peter Beardsley go, without even playing him. He also had the chance to sign Gary Lineker, but chose Terry Gibson & Peter Davenport instead and let Arnold Muhren go before he was past his best, he later won a European Championship medal 3 seasons after he was sold on. Then Alex Ferguson came in and had basically rebuild the entire team around Bryan Robson, who was the only player he kept. It was a long road to that night in Barcelona, but worth it.

I remember watching this game, haven't seen it since that day... 37 years ago(!). United were on fire, Liverpool just weren't in it. Should have been four or five.

i loved this utd team

What is it about that United kit... so simple but absolutely beautiful.

The noise at Old Trafford when we scored was described by a scouser I know as being "like a bomb had gone off." Just listen to that noise when we score, come close and the final whistle blows. Mint. Despite being the best team in Europe for much of the 80s, Liverpool's arses fell out when they played United at OT and even Anfield.

Shame Arnold muhren didn't play for us longer. Such a clever player a midfield of him, robbo and Remi Moses would have been brilliant.

Being Consistent was the key to liverpool winning the league in them days,we'd beat all the leading teams then go to God awful sides the next game and lose/draw....Notts county/Stoke/Manchester city spring to mind

streford paddock, utd rd, scoreboard end, £1.80

the atmostphere at this would have been electric , great days

During that season, Man.Utd. did very well against the big teams, such as Liverpool, Arsenal, Spurs and Barcelona in the CWC. The problem with United was, was that they came horribly unstuck against lesser ranked teams such as Ipswich Town and Notts.County

UNITED FIRST ENGLISH TEAM TO EVER WIN AN EUROPEAN CUP, AND THE FIRST TO EVER WIN A TRUE TREBLE.

One of the only things Arthur Graham ever did for us setting up that goal for Stapleton

Yeh forget how good Stapleton was for United.

Very attractive football by United .

24 seconds in, Liverpool fans singing "who's that dying on the runway". Might wan't to remember that when they're asking for their dead to be respected

Liverpool supporter. I've been re-watching some of the league and FA Cup games between the two teams from the early and mid-1980's. I realise United were applying pressure and that pitches in those days cut up fairly easily (making footing and movement trickier), but Liverpool look weak in defense in these games. There's clumsiness in clearances, loose passing, poor positioning, etc. It's not just United being up for the games. Too many errors in Liverpool's play.

It's was on 24/9/83 during 1983/84 season.

"..suggests the balance of power may be shifting" Liverpool went on to win the League, League cup and European cup that season

A result that saw Man Utd 2nd, and Liverpool 4th, in the 1st Division. West Ham were top!

I liked Alan Hansen as a Pundit and a person, likeable guy. But I can't understand how he ever made it to the highest level. He always had sturdy Centre Backs partnering him to tidy up after his mistakes.

I was born the day before. UTFR!

Utd often had great games against Liverpool in the 80s, but it was Liverpool who always walked away with the trophies, although Utd turned the tables in the 90s and 2000s.

classic lfc kit love it

Unfortunately Mike Duxbury's great build up play for the goal has been cut out.

Before those glazers

At that time the football was not so hard as in the 2020 years

We always had a chance of beating them in a one off game we just didn't have their consistency.

5:32 ...and the balance of power maybe shifting :). Manchester United could beat anyone back then, 3:0 against Barcelona comes to my mind for ex., but could not win the league. I waited for another ten years for it to happen. And I am prepared to do it all over again.

Big Ron was unlucky to have a team like Liverpool in the same league at the same time. If I could pick an ex Man U manager for Liverpool it would be him for the way he got wba and utd buzzing, how he publicly backed his teams, also not forgetting his amusing quotes...Ronacdotes. The 70s, 80s even 90s were the golden years imo before it got sanitised with progressive keep the ball and try walk it in the net shite we see today. Anyway that's the mini rant over, I'm off to give my rose tinted spectacles a wipe.

Both sets of so called fans have did things wrong, but there is know need for that kind off chanting. R.I.P to the Busby Babes

No one could expect that the end of that golden era of liverpool would be on the hand of this staduim players that will be known later as the dreams theatre !

Man U was all over LFC. Hansen looks pathetic.

utd destroyed the scum that day. But they got the last laugh winning the league.
