If I was alive back then I would’ve cried

We all know why we didn’t don’t we? Wallpushing murderers seen to that. Been a curse on our whole history those scum. They only exist because we moved from Mordor. Cursed by the devils scum

I thought that was david pleat but could be wrong

@@lennon1482 It actually was Cloughy.

I was there too. A season ticket holder in the 1980 s with my brother. Has there ever been a better free kick taker than Sheedy? I think not....

you prolly dont care but does someone know of a way to log back into an Instagram account? I somehow lost my login password. I would love any help you can give me

@Jerome Tomas Instablaster =)

Those words spoken by Brian Clough at 4:40 must have been the last nail in the coffin for many. This was a team about to open up Europe, but what might have been was denied by the thuggish nature of so many so close.

Fuck off

Yes mate 👍

fuck lukaku!

Personally think the Vienna goal was maybe offside. Moore's right re "suspicious". And those linemen must've been on the booze that night.

The ban was culmination of over ten years of English club's supporters causing violence in European games. From Spurs fans rioting in Rotterdam in 74, Leeds in Paris 75, Man Utd having to play home European games in Plymouth due to rioting in Ostend, Aston Villa having to play a tie behind closed doors due to fighting at Anderlecht's ground, fans of the England team rioting at Euro 80 and the Euro 84 qualifiers in Greece, Denmark & Luxembourg....I could go on. Heysel, as far as Uefa were concerned, was the last straw.

Yes, it was shocking watching those scenes on TV it really was! WHY?

Truly exceptional action who knows how far this cohesive gel of a side could of made that next year in the top European completion so unlucky to be denied through no faultoftheir own

I guess that the greatest English football team of the 80s was Liverpool, to be honest, played three finals of the European Champions Cup and won 2. Their team was simply legendary and relentlessly came up with the goods on both the national and international level (save for the International Cup in Tokyo, were they were blown off park by Independiente and Penarol, if I recall correctly). On the other hand, Steaua Bucharest (my team) played an insane football between 1985 and 1989, way ahead of its time, too bad we encountered a Milan at the height of its powers in the final of 1989, otherwise we would have had two European Champions Cup in our track record. Anyway, can''t believe it's nearly 35 years since that Rotterdam final, I remember it like it was yesterday...

@@garypring7351 That actually my brain trying to read that

Liverpool fan here and Iam not a wool . Great Everton team and I use to go to the odd Everton home when Liverpool played somewhere mad ( 1984/5 season ). Iam disagreeing though to say this Everton team were better than us in 1979 and 1988.

Pablo Jablo they were far better than the Liverpool sides you mentioned

which competition do you mean? They won the only cup that neither Liverpool could win. They have managed to win the cup of winners cup before it was crazily and foolishly abolished. What could Everton have done more or better ????

@@Faber9722 I meant the Champions League, which was called European Cup back then

a clarification or explanation was very useful, because after all the cups were three then ( and it was the best solution according to me). Even if all of us, as fans, are used everywhere to consider the winner of the former Champions Cups or present Champions League as the main European champion, if not the only one. But the supercup has often overthrown this idea.

@@Faber9722 They were due to play in the European Cup the following season having won the English league. However, Heysel happened and Uefa banned all English clubs. This meant that Everton were prohibited from playing their first round tie v Anderlecht who themselves were given a bye into the second round.

Do you mean that the decision of the ban arrived , when the draw of the season 1985-86 had already taken place? And according to the new draw, would Everton have faced Anderlecht, in case the ban had not been decided?

It wasnt that one sided. Rapid did not have a good day and one of their best, Panenka, could not play. There were much more one sided games like milan-barcelona, kiew-atletico madrid or milan-steaua

Ciao sono un tuo coetaneo italiano, tifo Inter e l' ho vista anche io questa partita nel 1985 e penso anche io che se non ci fosse stata la squalifica delle squadre inglesi, l'Everton l'anno dopo avrebbe detto la sua in Coppa Campioni 😜

shut bell end who you team man shitty

English teams always get done dirty by the officials in big European games.

I was a season ticket holder back then Craig, and I can tell you, the movie clips don't come close to showing the whole story. Skill and graft lad, skill and graft.....

UEFA did not like English clubs because we was far to successful in Europe in the 70s and 80s. They blamed it on our fans being hooligans but our fans was no worse than the rest of Europe. When that tragedy happened and corpses was being carried you they let the game carry on. Forward to 2021 a player nearly dies on the pitch and UEFA merely postpone the game for a few hours They are bad people

Non - K. Sheedy (Everton) n'est pas Britannique.

​@@Macca1000001 Sheedy est né a Builth Wells en Pays de Galles mais a joué pour Irlande.

I must admit it myself Mark, if the reds were denied the title due to virus there is a slight chance I might have a little chuckle.

Stadio DE KUIP Rotterdam, dove gioca il Feyenoord (Olanda)

Doubt it Liverpool did better in the 80s than Everton ... including winning both cup finals against them

@@jeanlawley6483 you have no football knowledge. Because of Liverpool fans killing 39 juve fans Everton were banned from playing in Europe, which meant the Everton squad split up. Kendall moved abroad and Evertons best players left . Ask anyone who knows about football and watched that Everton team and they would say the same thing.

@@jeanlawley6483 I suggest you watch the football film Howard's way

تقصد جمهور ليفربول أليس كذلك

Outrageous to ban all clubs from European football because of one club,s behaviour.Everton suffered most because of that and to be perfectly honest I don't think Everton really ever recovered from that ban.

@@roywinstanley9402 we didn't mate no, the team split up and Howard kendal left to manage in Spain. But I'm optimistic we'll have our time again, but not anytime soon

@@zainalrrayaldaghery1905 any chance of a translation buddy

They were looking to rob Everton that night. Luckily they were to good.

I agree Paul, cheating c@#ts robbed Celtic in the earlier rounds. I was at Celtic Park that night. So glad Everton won.

Rapid Wien crushed 5-0 Dynamo Dresden and East German teams were not badly organized. Dynamo had won 3-0 at home and they were completely outmatched in the second game. Rapid Wien was a good team (not like now) and they proved it again in 1996 and again they found a better adversary (PSG). Rapid Wien had no fault. Celtic had its reasons to complain (1-3, 3-0 nullified by the riots of the fans, provided that I have read well about the riots, whether they had been caused by the Scottish fans), but after the third game Wien won again, Celtic could have confirmed his 3-0 but they threw away their possibilities of winning.

@@Faber9722 I seem to remember the Rapid goalkeeper claimed to have been hit by a bottle in the game at Celtic

if the Austrian goalkeeper had been struck by a Scottish fan, it would have been a true misfortune for the Scottish team. The work of an entire football club has been ruined , marred by an own fan. Even if I remain convinced , that the greatest crime has been committed by Uefa, when they abolished this cup, because it allowed a loto of teams to come out of the namelessness, and anyway it was one of three most important cups, so that if you could win all of them, it was a great mark of prestige. Look even at Real Madrid. They are the history of football, they have won everything that is available among the international competitions, and unless somebody , within the bodies of Uefa, CHANGES ITS MIND AND REORGANIZES THE CUPS AS THEY WERE, THEY WILL NEVER MANAGE TO WIN IT. A BIG unjustice also towards the merengues. Coming back to the former topic, Celtic too were robbed and deprived of this possibility by the act of a foolish fellow , who maybe has damaged its own beloved team. Truly a pity!!!!

@@Faber9722 no mate the rapid player claimed he was struck by a coin which the TV cameras proved never happened,hence the replay at old Trafford on a neutral venue

@@Billybhoy anyway I can Just Guess that Celtic had thousand reasons to be angry. Because all their work was spoiled by a trivial accident, which has nothing to do with playing , and they would not have any longer the possibility to win the Cup, because It was foolishly abolished.

we were more than a bit better

They won something, which escaped also to Liverpool. Even if it was not all fault of the Reds. Because the abolition of the Cup of winners cup has turned out to be a true crime towards the fans of whole Europe.

That's when we had the best side in Europe , but were never allowed to compete in the European Cup because the fans of our city rivals couldn't behave themselves ....And then like to remind us every derby by singing ' Where's your European Cup's ...then they get upset when we shout murder's back ..The things you learn eh

Absolutely. Thanks to the 'thugs from across the park mob', one of the best European sides in the making, never got to show what they could do on the international stage. The European ban was totally unjust for teams that were not the cause of the violence off the pitch. It was really sickening to be tarnished with the same brush that rightly blames the likes of thug-pool for the problems that had been in the news. We will never know just how far that Everton team would have gone if they had not been banned.

​@@WingNuts2010 Liverpool supporters such scumbags...they haven't changed one bit

2 weeks. The next week, 22/05, was the UEFA's Cup Final, and then, in 29/05/1985 the tragic Champions' Cup final.

A bit better???.....You're a complete and utter prick!!!
