  • Carragher mentioned this header by Barnes when talking about Mané today. I can see what he means. Barnes was next level. I don't think Barnes is talked about enough when it comes to the conversation of who the best winger for Liverpool was. People talk about Keegan, Liddell, Dalglish. Barnes was in their class I think. Wonderful footballer. He made the hard stuff look easy.

    One of my all time favourite Liverpool games, the Liverpool support that day was just incredible. Best bit of singing I've ever heard.

    More excitement in this 4 minute video than half of the Premier League games of today
  • remember the game very well. was 10 years old. missed it due to a wedding in the family. can still recall seeing police on horse back after the game.. good old days when Barnes and Beardo played teams off the park...

    What a lovely little player Peter Beardsley was. And that kit is elite
  • Was in the Holte End that day and had to keep all Liverpool allegiances to my myself. Let out a "yessss" through gritted teeth when Quasi scored the second.

    When the fa cup meant something, when we loved to stand on the terraces , passion and fire, the game has changed from the working mans game , it was 4 quid to get in that day, to the money game, the players are soft now a days, the ref a disgrace, we loved our fights on and off the pitch. The pitches were like bogs sometimes but we got on with it. Bring back the proper grounds and players ,

    I remember watching the highlights on the TV and for some reason the atmosphere at this game really seemed incredible and was something I remember. Moore was also a bloody good commentator.
  • @darganx
    John Barnes is the only player I saw curl a header! I seem to remember that goal was used in the intro for Saint and Greavsie..

    Thanks for the upload Dave - I remember watching this match on ITV and that header by Digger Barnes has always stuck in my head - what a beauty it was! ; ) up the reds!
  • It's ridiculous how relentless Liverpool were it was just wave after wave of attack

    One of my favourite LFC teams, some talented lads
  • @bobkumar8754
    Always loved that header by Barnes. Going backwards but still generating enough power to beat a great keeper in Spinks.
  • More than Liverpool's dominance in this game, I think their 'compassion' should get a mention - Allowing Villa to have half a dozen touches of the ball in the entire 90 mins.
