  • I was at Anfield that night. Magnificent game of football and capped off by a dramatic winner. In 52 years of supporting Liverpool, this is definitely up there as one of the very special nights at Anfield.

    This was an incredible game. Was end to end for 90 minutes. You attack, we attack... The only thing missing? Martin Tyler’s iconic commentary... “Collymore closing iiiiiin... Liverpool lead in stoppage time!!!”

    I was due to go out the night this was on and started watching it as I was getting ready. Meeting mates at 8.00 eventually got there at 10.00 absolutely exhausted having watched the best game of football I have ever seen. Not a fan of either team but it was unbelievable.....
  • RIP Srnicek
  • Amazing how much the game has changed since then…so many tackles that would be yellows or reds now aren't even fouls…I love it! And how about that pace?
  • Being a Newcastle fan, it pains me to see how poor a side we've become.
  • @MatthewCaligari
    McManaman .... such an underrated player! He was great! Wow I miss those days where a qtr of the national side was LFC!

    God bless you for the upload, mate! I never thought I'd ever see the whole game again!

    The best match ever played. When you think about these sides In almost every position there was a similarity. You could argue David ginola was unplayable. But McManaman was better. Beardsley vs Barnes. Newcastle was definitely a champion side that year. But they played the same way that Liverpool did they attacked and never stopped. And for me the partnership of McManaman and Fowler was second to none and this game shows how good they really were as an attacking team
  • @onevastanus
    Obviously England were blessed with forwards but from watching simply just this one game you can see why building the England team around Shearer and McManaman, with Fowler playing off both, would have been better. it's like god sent angels and we played apostates.

  • Honestly, this game was entertaining as hell, but it was partially so because it was played between two sides who were infested by mistakes, lapses in concentration, and in some cases outright rubbish quality particularly where it came to the link up play between defence and midfield. Particularly Liverpool. Some of the blame for this can probably be laid with the quality of the surface, I'm happy to concede that much, although classic 70's and 80's Liverpool went and played world-class football on little more that mud-pits at times. Both sides had some genuine quality going forward, and they played to their strengths, especially Newcastle, and so a cricket score was always going to happen. When I compare the Liverpool of back then to the Liverpool of now, they would have torn this pale imitation of a Liverpool side apart, and they would have done the same thing to this Newcastle team. Most teams in today's Premier League would, as well as one or two in today's Championship. You think I'm joking but I'm not. You think I'm insane, you may have a point.

    Bit disappointing it isn't the original commentary. Does anyone have the full match with Andy Gray and Martin Tyler?
  • @HUXLEY-hj7mw

  • 10 out of the 10 I was there live at the Frog and Toad in Gillingham Kent what a game of football.
