Limpar, criminally under mentioned among the Arsenal greats. We wouldnt have won the league in '91 without him full stop. Beautiful footballer who gave us the edge. Maybe not the obvious impact but he as much as anyone, including Bergkamp, to make Arsenal a world wide team.
Totally agree: He was awesome in 1990/91 season. He should be recognised more for his impact that season. He could truly destroy teams on his day. That said, think in the seasons afterwards, opposing defenders began to realise that, if they tackled him hard at start of game, he'd start to disappear more and more from games. In the seasons afterwards, he slowly became less and less effective.
I was in the middle section of the north bank, when limpar shot from just inside the half way line we was jumping up and down as it sailed into the net. The atmosphere that day was amazing. It only feels like yesterday.
Totally agree, supporting Arsenal isn’t the same anymore. Give me the Highbury days of Bould, Adams, Thomas, Merson, Smith, Limpar etc George Graham was a superb manager, and those glory days ended far too swiftly.
Can remember a friend who's a Liverpool fan, who absolutely hated it when Liverpool had to play this Arsenal team with Wright and Limpar, as he knew they would almost certainly lose.
This was probably the only time in the 90s were we really pasted Liverpool. Our record against them in the 90s was overall terrible especially in the mid to late 90s. McManaman & Fowler would constantly have a field day with our defenders.
After the fantastic almost invincible league title of the previous season, 91/92 was such a let down, we should have pushed on after that year and dominated the early PL era, alas it started to fall away until the late 90s when Wenger turned up.
Super, super swede Super, super swede Super, super swede Super Andes Limpar This was last time i stood on north bank as a kid, and to see limpars wonder goal in person, i was right behind the goal he scored in. Super swede, and i love it that this was my last game i got to stand on the north bank as a kid, back then we had such a great record against liverpool Liverpool was gone as a team by then, as we brought them down of the top, and this day summed up how well we played against the mighty liverpool Liverpool was finished in 1991 as merson scored the winning goal at anfield to finish liverpools time at the top of english football This liverpool team here was old, managed by souness and liverpool was over the top as a team, even though they won fa cup that year Even though i stopped watching arsenal in 2002, i will always love it was us who stopped the liverpool domination of english football Alex ferguson never beat one of the great liverpool teams, and only when we brought down liverpool, did liverpool start losing to man utd. Alex ferguson never could beat the great liverpool sides. Liverpool of mid to late 1990s was a joke of a team, and nothing like there were a decade before. This day finished off liverpool back then as a league team, ie competing for the league every year. Leeds won that year, and liverpool took nearly 3 decades to win the league again, and mostly went to winning cup competitions, that are never as good as winning the league.
I miss the Northbank atmosphere! I first stood watching games in the early 60's . Saw some fantastic games and some famous names from many clubs! Now that seems to have gone with all the 'compulsory ' seating ! time to consider 'safe standing' in certain areas of the grounds!
@@mahirhussain4890 I remember the entrance fee went up to 4 Shillings! That was a lot for me as I was still at school and to travel on the bus and underground to Highbury --it was an expensive day! I once saw a crowd of Man Utd supporters already at the gates opposite the Arsenal underground station. The gates were opened about 2pm and the crowd of Man Utd supporters surged towards the turnstiles. So they got in first and went straight to the 'Northbank' where the Arsenal fans liked to stand. After about half an hour as more Arsenal fans arrived they outnumbered the Man Utd fans and basically moved them away. Didn't see any fighting. I remember once all the 'penny coins' flying through the air! very dangerous if you got one in the eye! There were some great games, Peter Simpson was probably the most 'unsung hero' of those days! Good times for sure!
No one in the 91 title winning team was average but yeah when we had the likes of Jensen, Morrow, Selley and Hillier in the middle he got the best out of them
I too was in the North Bank that day. Teasing the Liverpool fans over their high pitched chanting. Asking Hooper the score. Did O'Leary come on late in the second half in the right back position? A long time ago now.

Super supper 🇸🇪

Arsenal at highbury.. very special. When football meant something

I went to this game, I was 15 at the time and stood in the north bank. It cost £8 to get in at the turnstiles. Happy times
Seriously how good was Anders Limpar !!...loved him
great day to be in the North Bank watching that sweet strike from the super Swede fly over Hoopers head... loved it

Arsenal were so much sharper than Liverpool here. A huge gulf in class.
George Graham was definitely a great.
Far better then arsene wenger

Look at the state of Barnes and Molby, great fat lumps. Just shows how fitness levels in the game have improved.
Molby in 1985 looked already pas it😂😂joke of a playet
Super, super swede
Super, super swede
Super, super swede
Super Andes Limpar

Liverpool was finished in 1991 as merson scored the winning goal at anfield to finish liverpools time at the top of english football
This liverpool team here was old, managed by souness and liverpool was over the top as a team, even though they won fa cup that year
Even though i stopped watching arsenal in 2002, i will always love it was us who stopped the liverpool domination of english football

A Great goal by limpar and all round performance by the Gunners

How could I have forgotten about that third goal! The assist for the 2nd too - Limpar with his head up was always danger for any opposition.
I was there and enjoyed a beautiful day at Clock End. As a Swede I loved seeing Limpar score that beauty.

Would love to know more about your experience in the 60s

That Swede was before Freddy
limpar.....what's he trying?...that's one you'll never forget....!
that's the one
Come on let's not get carried away with that goal, Hooper was 12 yards off hes line, not all that difficult to score
Loved limpar
Notice the second goal, the steward jumping up and down celebrating. How times have changed
That's not been shown too much until now. Arsenal at their best under george graham.
Liverpool clearly on the decline.
This was a painful era for Liverpool. One of the reasons I started supporting them.
George got the best out of average players !! Love the Arsenal ,!
average players.......?? what do u know about that... not a lot.
No one in the 91 title winning team was average but yeah when we had the likes of Jensen, Morrow, Selley and Hillier in the middle he got the best out of them
Thousands of talented lads in london would have gave the shirt of their back to play for arsenal and who do they come up with ? david hillier !
Should have been 7 or 8.
Limpar had run away from Graham antics, if not he was the kind of players which Wenger loved to have.
Graham was a winner.
Wenger a looser.
Lets bet
Huh?

3:11 The lesser spotted Pål Lydersen
My last First Division game at Highbury
Last? Either you're a Liverpool fan or a poor Arsenal one
@@edmundpower1250 They said last FIRST DIVISION game. Before they gave it a new name.
That was also my last first division game at Highbury too.
We were terrible under Sourness
PA28 dark dark days
What the hell was Hooper up to? Liverpool we’re shocking that season.
Was there liverpool fan beside us wtf in north bank
A bad start that season ('91/'92) otherwise would have been back-to-back titles
Souness sales.
#coyg.
I forgot Limpar’s goal
