ye great times

I'm not certain whether it is just being a youth experiencing it for the first time or whether it was because those days were so very different. All I know is they were by far the happiest times of my match going experience despite being treated like cattle by the cops and having pretty piss poor facilities. Every home game was a 440 mile round trip for me aged 12 but walking up the Stretford End was the happiest moments of my match going life and I would travel ANY distance to watch United. The older ones always looked out for the younger ones whether they knew you or not. Something I've always done as an adult. Different times, different values!! GGMU. LUHG.

@@KryptonitetoallBS It'll be a mixture of the novel, and the fact that you could really let off steam at the football then - rather than being treated like children at school, having to sit still and behave.

Absoulatley great times and great passion in those times. Loved all of it. Not quite the same when the seats came in. We will never get those really passionate days again. The 70s and 80s passion we won t never see again. Liverpool fan.

young people from that era en masse is the reason for football being like that. even if you recreated the scene the modern generation couldnt or woukdnt want to be that involved there different now.

Yesterday / Man I agree, also the build up on BBC1 & the kick off at three pm not five!! I remember as a kid watching Saint & Greavsie & the road to Wembley & how they followed the team coaches to Wembley etc. It means nothing now.

Agreed! I don't get any feeling with the games now.

Miles behind Souness.

@@mossga bollocks, even souness himself would disagree with you.

@@thevirus7368 - Don't be silly

@Greenfields 12 - So Robson scored a few more goals whilst Souness was a better passer, tackler, organiser and winner. David Platt must've been better than both of them then, eh. Fucking behave mate.

@Paolo Moss So you conclude your comments with a totally unnecessary and aggressive and patronising comment . Sounds like you inherited the same actions and attitude as the thug and cheat that is Souness . Take a reality and thug check of yourself or are you incapable of that?

Forgot heart👌

Hmmm. You’ll be saying there wasn’t any United in your end for the 77 cup final and 83 milk cup final next. Maybe you will also claim that we didn’t have virtually half of the Liverpool end for the 83 charity shield. You don’t read it in your ‘jackanory anny road novels ‘ coz you like to rewrite history.

@@ThomasToGreenhoff bang on the 83 charity shield we had the entire lower tier an a section of the upper

@@ThomasToGreenhoff an half the lower in 83 final

red flag I know mate and most of the bottom tier in 77 final in their end

You sure mate? 5 nil... Ole's at the wheel.

up to this day, mate!

my hero

@Hannibal Barca its a good point sometimes he challenge like mad for a nothing ball an get injured.

Flasher Robson who is a lush was never fucking fit wasn't known as Captain Crutches for no apparent reason. Munich Bastard.

@@alanslevin8223 Did you enjoy his goal in this game?

Super Firmino Grow up son

played by real men

With real fans in the stands

Agreed

@@Jack_The_Ladd terraces mate, visceral and pure

Played by people who would take tackles and not go down at the slightest touch

Exactly the same. 2 of the best days of my life.

So true. He dragged United by the scruff of the neck many times. Against Barcelona in 1984 was him at his peak.

@@questionitall3053 that was an awesome night , United turned round a 2-0 deficit from the first leg, to win 3-0 on the night , and shock a star studded Barcelona that included Maradona.....Robson was a collosus in midfield, unplayable.....

Awesome player.People talk about his injuries but look how many games he played over the years and how old he was when he finished.

Haha. Moments like that you just lose where you are

mate!! i missed both our goals cos i was chatting a bird up on the beer stand in the kippax. got a free pint and a pie but that was it. The rats got booted all over before the game but did thornton road when they came out

senorsoupe That Liverpool side was a machine. 4 European Cups in 7 years back in the day when fans from rival clubs cheered you on, I know I did - Liverpool together with Forest and Villa. Great times.

Back in the day when the post-game warm-down consisted of 20 Regal and 10 pints of Best...excellent game, excellent teams. :)

I remember being disappointed after this replay. It hurt. It still hurts 35 years later. Still the positive was two and a half days later I decided to catch the train from Abergavenny to Liverpool and see my first actual Liverpool game in the flesh. To all fellow reds You win some you lose some. It’s all part of being a fan. YNWA

liverpool sides were totally committed an professional long before the rest

@@redflag8970 Their organisation and movement were phenomenal. United could never quite reach that level till Fergie sorted us out in 1991.

I was at both games and those were great game and atmosphere. Always remember those days. 🇾🇪🇾🇪🇾🇪

Me too!

And I was lucky to play on one pitch with him three years ago :) And with Denis Irwin :) And with Clayton Blackmore :) Unforgettable!!!

Gerard James yes Brian Robson was a great player.

@@polaris7122 It's fair to say.... so will i !! The embodiment of Man Utd.

@@todordanailov7634 Great experience and I bet close up, seeing them play must have made them look other worldly?

same teams reaching the later stages n final all the time these days.

I remember Arsenal and Sheffield Wed playing each other something like 5 times in one tie in the 80s!

Ruined by money that's why especially in English football

@@glenjarnold wasn't that Everton and Sheffield Wednesday? In 1988, Everton and Sheffield Wednesday met in the FA Cup, where Everton triumphed 5-0 in the 3rd replay game, as well as their 2 league games.

@@glenjarnold I have a feeling that Liverpool and Arsenal played each other 7 times in the 1979-80 season. 1979 Charity Shield 2 League matches Arsenal won their FA Cup semi final in the 3rd replay

Agreed, loved them carrying Robbo off on their shoulders you'd get jailed for assault these days if tried it-players just mercenaries these days crazy money

Even the League Cup meant something. Champions League was created to satisfy the Euro Super League meglomaniacs. It then diluted the whole of European Football. European Cup was the champion of CHAMPIONS. You could rightfully state that you were the best in Europe because you beat any league winner in Europe. Now, you could be 4th and win....potentially. Diluted and sterile.

150 mil now

I was at the first game at Goodison Park. Please take notes Mr.Pogba.

@@stevenfletcher41 Yeah I was thinking the same thing, about £150-£170 million, with weekly earnings of £350,000

Jeremy Slaney He’d be worth way more than Pogba. He wasn’t called Captain Marvel for nothing.

The guy put his body on the line every game. Poogba is a disgrace. Everything wrong with football and footballers these days. Has never done a thing in his career (shut up about the world cup 2018, he never played that good) and yet he is a multi multi millionaire. Wrong wrong wrong

Totally agree. Was behind the goal. What a night. What a night

Love him but Paul Scholes for me!

I totally agree, THE GREATEST !!!!! BAR NONE

Totally agree. Just not the same now, too many foreign players who don't really understand the rivalry between the two Cities..The British and local lads knew alright..and passionately so! We miss them good old thunder games from the 70's and 80's between Utd and Liverpool. Back then Liverpool were the benchmark in the league in terms of winning it.. Utd were a great cup team and just didn't have that strength in depth and maybe that little bit of luck you need to win a league title..still a very good side though and marvelously lead by Captain Marvel himself, Bryan Robson.. As good a central midfielder and driving force as there's ever been. Mark sparky Hughes, a bull of a centre forward and classy too, with a deft touch. Stormin Norman Whiteside, when he was a boy, he was a man..what a young talent he was at just 17yrs of age..great forward..Paul McGrath at centre back, an absolute rolls royce of a player, he had it all. Strength, speed and acceleration. His distribution was just as good too. Aerial ability and also chipped in with the odd goal from set pieces. He could also play in midfield too, he was that good a footballer..sold to Aston Villa and had a great career there too. Gordon Strachan, the jinking little scot, Frank Stapleton who was also a very good centre forward, aerial ability to match..a good pro Two full backs Micky Duxbury, mr consistency himself and as steady as they come..Arthur Albiston, again another tenacious and consistent left back, both good distributors too. Not like todays unfortunately. Gary Bailey in goal, got a few England caps and was quite a safe pair of hands..did we ever forgive him for the 79 final misshap at the end of the game..i think we did. Great memories and great atmosphere's too at these neutral venues and then onto the mecca and final of the old Wembley stadium. It meant everything back then to get to the Cup final and go on and win it. Such a shame manager's and the so called powers that be don't see it that way. Gone but not forgotten those great days from yester year in the FA cup

Robinson? You mean Robson!

@@ClassicManUtdVideos my bad auto correct.

Good every blade of grass player. Could - and maybe should - have played Libero. Dalglish had a poor game and when he had a poor game they generally lost.

daglish was world class as was robson. pog should watch this to get an idea of what he should be doin.

@@peterh1353 Dalglish was slowing down by this point. Robson was unstoppable that night.

@@redflag8970 Robson was a real man, proper tough fucker. Not like pussies like Pogba..

He may have made Dalglish look run of the mill in this game but both were top, top, top players. Sometimes, it is forgotten by most, just how good Dalglish was....and I was a Man United fan in those days as a kid. Robbo was my favourite though, followed by Hughes.

Agree 80s was the best time to watch football.

Paul was the most underrated defender of his time. Ron recognized the talent and got the best of him.

They'd have a rainbow flag inspired safe space installed in every ground to help all the snowflakes

Everton tired and exhausted in final , that's how utd won the cup .... Charity shield proves my point .coyb 👍

@@kx9651 I was there, done them with ten men. So easy, like shelling peas!

Paul we shelled you three times that season plus beat you in the charity shield a few months later,you got lucky with a freak goal and a tired double winning team in extra time,as for the 10 men it rejuvenated your team ,up to that point we were cruising,if a replay would of occurred we would have twatted Utd and you know it .

@@tonynesbit9673 maybe but that is how it goes. you beat a tired utd in 95.

It's interesting to speculate how long he would have stayed at United if he hadn't been injured. Given how long the best keepers usually last, he could have been there until the mid-90s. Likewise with Whiteside, who might just have been one of the team's senior pros in the treble season had he stayed fit.

I went to his testimonial game at the end of the 1986/87 season. Against an England 11. The day after our last home game of the season

I am very jealous I would have loved to have been on the same pitch as him! A guy who used to play pro in Netherlands made a guest appearance for my team a couple of years ago, apparently he once made the Dutch national squad but never got capped and when he played for us he banged in 9 goals without breaking a sweat! Every pass he played was inch perfect and first touch was far better than anything I have ever seen close up! Just made me understand the gulf between pro and amateur that little bit more!

Today both shots would have been saved by 9 out of 10 Premiership goalkeepers. Coming from miles out and not in the corner.

Wrong! I am United fan and Grobbelaar was better than either keeper Liverpool has right now!

Seriously? Yeah, beating Grebelaar may not have beenmuch of an achievement but Premiership goalies just stand transfixed to the spot, turning their head to watch the ball go past them into the net. They are truly crap, all of them.

@@peterh1353 One thing Grobbelaar did do well was dive for shots into the corner. Robbo gave him no chance though.

YOU SCOUSE BASTARD!

i dont think you beat us in the f.a cup for around 70 yrs till crouch 06

I agree with you completely. I was at the first game in the Street End and it was the most poisonous atmosphere imaginable. I remember getting hit on the shoulder by a coin. The season ended with Heysel and I couldn't face football again after what I saw there. You're right about Souness as well. If he had been in the team that season then Everton may still have finished champions but it would have been a lot closer.

You need to get out more if he is the best midfielder you ever saw. The press nicknamed him captain over-rated. Disappeared in to the wallpaper when playing for his country who always did better without him. But then again this country has always had a soft spot for hardworking mediocrity.

The press meaning the Liverpool Echo!!! He was the only England player who showed up for Euro 88 while the likes of Barnes, Waddle, Hoddle and co froze! Played 24 games less for his country than Steven Gerrard yet scored five more goals than him and averaged a goal every 3 n a half games for England (name another midfielder with a better strike record for England)! Brian Clough (who knew his football) said he was the best English midfielder he had ever seen! He was two footed, could pass, tackle, was fast, could finish, head, run all day, read the game, direct and lead his team mates, never slipped or dived and although he loved sticking it to Liverpool he would also go to Merseyside for a pint or ten with some of the Liverpool players in his spare time!

hoddle was so much better

@@cleehomes Bryan Robson also scored a hat trick for England, away to Turkey in an 8-0 win

@@peterh1353 Bullshit

No you didn't

Well said son. GGMU. LUHG.
