Love the old pitches - proper mud baths! The quality of football on these surfaces was amazing.

Proper football, played by proper footballers not clueless posers. Great game, thanks for sharing and that's from an old Liverpool fan. (Well done Arsenal)

Now this is how football use to be played packed to the rafters and playing on chocolate pudding pitches

so evocative, a muddy pitch , Radford scoring in front of a stunned kop and david Colemans unbeatable voice SUPERB.

In the days before football died...

I remember this match - the best match Arsenal played that season, they really should have won the league. John Radford-such a great servant for the club.

Exactly this is the time I loved Football. Cheap Tickets, normal Players without Tattoos. Only this time I was really a big Fan !!!!!

I was there! Very young at the time and all I remember is Radford scoring his breakaway goal. Brilliant!

I think this was the game that Phil Thompson was dropped for, and went to see Shanks the next day to ask why he'd been dropped. Shanks said "what? you should be thanking me for not making you play with that shower of shite, they're rubbish, they're all past it! you're the future son, you'll captain Liverpool and England someday". Thommo left the office feeling like a million dollars all pleased with himself. Haha, what a legend Shanks was.

Look at the state of the pitch! Did they have tank battle as the curtain raiser?

Big Raddy,great player

I remember this game. The press highlighted the fact that motd highlights missed most of Arsenal's attacking play. The Sun headline on Monday...'So much magic slips past the beeb.' Don't ask me why I remember stuff like that. Match report by Peter Batt. I was a paper boy so I spose I just read 'em instead of delivering 'em! COYG

'72/'73 seems like '98/'99 season - should have won the league

i was there never forget this game we went top god the liverpool supporters were livid when alan ball took the penalty the cop through everything at him coins bottles he kept calm and scored

My first ever arsenal game, aged 10

fucking hell, this is what footie should be.... managers smoking in the dug-outs, players without sponsors' logos, mud all over the place, balls which don't swerve more than a foot, fans that make tidal waves, results coming in via a videoprinter, strikers with mutton chops, goalies in green.... England winning th ahhhh.....never mind

look at that mud. you don't get mud like that any more. today's mud is really pretentious and wimpy.

Loving the pitch, smell it from here.Good to see diving going on even then for the penno !

That pitch. Absolutely beautiful.

it baffles me how we have never won another world cup with the talent that this country has produced! !!!

Today's Premier League player cannot play on such a pitch. Thanks for the upload

Arsenal's next win at Anfield came 16 years later in 1989 remember that one sadly I still do

Every single player back then was good I can reel the names off with no problems. I was Highbury for the return which I think ended 0-0 but Liverpool was the better side that day and Toshack hit the bar I went home feeling happy we escaped with a point.

Players who rode tackles rather than leaving their feet in to get free kicks. Managers who sat on the bench rather than prancing up and down the touchline screaming at the referee. Footballers who could control the ball rather than just being super big and super fit. Football when it mattered.

Simply , It was football for enjoyment !

Great game, one of John Radford's finest for Arsenal!

Clemence was truly great....

Can you imagine a more apt person to score that penalty? Fantastic Radford goal. I always thought that (apart from Storey Kennedy and Ball), Arsenal's English players never got the recognition or the caps that they deserved: George, Armstrong, Simpson and Radford

I remember this game so well,typical backs to wall performance from The Arsenal, we should have won the league this season but draws against so called weaker teams, and Liverpool took the title then followed years of doldrums for Arsenal

Ray Kennedy is still with us!

I was there 🎉

I must have been at the game, but I don't recall anything about it. I must have gone into denial! Looked like a cracking game.

Gunners should have won title this season !!! Trouble is Liverpool we’re quality then !!! 70s 80s 90s as well

wow what a receive from that arsenal player...... n superb finish!!!!! thkzz 4 d video

As mentioned on another Radford clip.........England could do with John Radford in 2013!! Mind you we had plenty of decent forwards then yet failed to make it to the 1974 and 1978 World Cup?? Still baffles me that. Good memories Raddy!! I still think there is a place for a big No.9 even in todays more intricate football played on carpets?? Hey Raddy, get in that Tardis please. Chris

Alan Ball, England’s greatest ever midfielder?

What a goal

True British football my days Keegan and ball become great friends down the road later in careers

Arsenal's last win at anfield until that night in 1989

Great game.

Shocking slide tackle from Ray Clemence...

I still remember that match

When I look a Arsenal now, ye gods

Look at the state of the pitch. It is a quagmire !! I do enjoy 1970s football. But more work was needed to improve the pitches. That is one of the advantages of modern football. Imagine the best of the 1970s players on better quality pitches ??? That would have been a great combination.

Wow, how they could play in that pitch. And they play well

First arsenal game I saw radford hat trick 3 round replay. 1967.

Proper football with proper players, the modern players would have cried off if they saw that pitch !

Pourquoi john Radford ne jouait il pas avec l'équipe d'angleterre alors qu'elle n'avait plus d'avance centre . Peut être qu'avec lui, elle aurait joué la coupe du monde 1974

Liverpool. Clemence, Lawler, Lindsay, Smith, Lloyd, Hughes, Keegan, Hall, Boersma, Toshack, Callaghan.

Bob WIlson in goal before he became a commentor.

Arsenal beating Liverpool to go top. Crazy days. 😀 Funny that Ball gets mentioned as having his best game ever for Arsenal yet apart from the penalty he is hardly featured in these highlights. If I had to pick an Arsenal player based on this it would be Wilson or Radford.

Bob Wilson, Anchor Man?

Might be wrong, but think Arsenal didn't beat Liverpool at Anfield again until that famous win that clinched title in 1989.

Can someone put the formations or lineups, please?

Eddie Kelly was there somewhere; wasn't Ray Kennedy No.10?

Liverpool: Clemence Llyod Hall Smith Lindsay Lawler Hughes Callaghan Boersma Keegan Toshack Don't know about Arsenal mate. Great to see Ray Kennedy, what a player he was for both clubs. RIP Ray.

the other Arsenal players: 5 Jeff Blockley, 6 Peter Simpson .... 10, Ray Kennedy, 11 Eddie Kelly

Derby won the previous season-Liverpool won that year with Arsenal in second.

I think that players like Radford were tossed to the wayside because of Sir Alf's over- insistence on the '66 players made it difficult for others to break in. Yet when that time came to bleed new talent it was too late. Despite the likes of Keegan, Francis etc. coming into vogue, it was a rough transitional period.

Teams always used to have a recognisable away strip like arsenal now they wear any colours even if there's no colour clash normally all black why did man utd have to wear poxy black shorts in 2 fa cup finals running ?

I don't think Ray Clemence ever saved a penalty in a league game throughout his entire career.

Ray... 5 times better than Alison...AGAINST MODERN FOOTBALL!!!

Definitely a dive.

Guardiola would have an egg now if the pitches looked like that.

Farmer leageu

proper men playing football all mud and no falling over Not like todays football

How quiet do Liverpool go when they've no chance of winning.
