Thiago was injured at the time…
-
Fantastic when people who lived around the ground in terrace houses went to the game
-
Interesting to see Union Jacks in the Kop and with the Everton fans. You don't see many of them at these games after Thatcher & Hillsborough.
-
Great video brings back some happy memories and great times of stood on the kop in the 70s,80s, and 90s, the atmosphere and banter was second to none 😂
-
Pint of beer was 22p match ticket 35p.

I wouldn't even consider paying to watch football now. It's not the game I grew up being a fan of as a kid in the 70's. Footballers now get treated like Hollywood film stars and most think that they are bigger than the club.
-
Lucky enough to have stood on the Kop once in the 80's. Amazing experience. Another pleasure of the working class that the elites just had to take away from us..
-
I remember all around anfield had real working class people attending. Not so today. Anfield area is poor those same people cant attend due to the outrageous costs. Our football has been stolen
-
That thick bluenose forecasting a Newcastle walkover..some things never change!
-
Lovely video i remember those days
-
there werent mobile phones at all...no selfies during match days but i can tell it was fun
-
Bells sponsoring the Manager of the month... the good old days when they'd pass a bottle of whisky around the dressing room before a match to give the players courage!
-
12 then what memories being in the kop never forget them days. I lived in number 9 alroy road back then been knocked down now for the Extension of the ground
-
The old chant from half the kop,. "Celtic", then the other half would chant " Rangers", then a loud roar of Liverpool, the good old days, everyone together supporting the team, even the early 1980s the half and half bobble hats, Liverpool/ Celtic, Liverpool/ Rangers, again everyone together, Liverpool a world in one city. YNWA..
-
They may get a little worked up at the match but I have found that Livepudlians are the nicest of the English.
-
This is the real Kop nothing like today, standing on the Kop in the 70s and 80s magic memories ⚽⚽
-
So nice to see Neville Black,he was vicar of St Georges Church,he lived in Sherlock Street,so was the vicar of Major Lester as well.Neville and Father Carr from our Lady Immaculate on St Domingo Road were a great example of unity between the Orange and the Green.
-
Not a prawn sandwich in sight. How things have changed. The working class want their sport back.
-
That fella in the pub at the end confidently predicts a Newcastle victory in the FA Cup that year. Didn't quite work out that way.
-
Great video. Just can’t get on with top flight these days. Back then it was about the attending fans and just about anyone could afford to go. One major change needed… I was on a week away junior school trip on the day of that Liverpool v Newcastle FA cup final in 74. Teachers said boys were allowed to stay up to watch Match of the Day in the tv lounge ! The women’s game is now on the up and much closer to the fan base.
