- Liverpool were aiming to become the first club to win the League Cup three years in a row. Meanwhile, Manchester United wanted to end a barren run that had seen only one trophy since 1968 - the FA Cup in 1977 when, ironically, they beat Liverpool in the final. It was to be an emotional day for Bob Paisley as he led his Liverpool side out at Wembley for the last time. The commentator is John Motson.

Paisley you will always be with us. Deep in our hearts.
Loved the old games of the 1980s.....miss those times
And the commentators were brilliant, and the atmosphere was amazing, true football fans
Me too
@@StarzzyJJASD motherwell
Bob Paisley is a legend
the era when football was a sports not bussiness
Eh, Liverpool were funded by the pools… wtaf
And when people could spell business....
@@Bluearmy76Well Norsalfina may not be 100 %right on that but now it is certainly 100 %a business.
@@the_even_toed_ungulate.Not only is it not her native tongue but not her alphabet either. So a little respect...
As soon as Whelan hit it you could see Dalglish celebrating
Where would we be without Alan Kennedy
Busky and Shanks and paisley all good mates. Remember busby played for Liverpool...not like todays managers..although Klopp is an exception..he gets on with most managers.
Busby recommended Shanks to Liverpool I bet he regretted that 😂😂😂
Just hear this commentary, no stupid shouting and blah blah blah, this is gold.
I agree, I couldn't stand to listen to the current BBC favourite braying during the world cup games last year. I would have gladly throttled him during the final!
And dont get me started on the token BBC females introduced to MOTD. Mute button works wonders
Bob in the same cap he goes down the pub in.. what a man
Look at the managerial talent on Liverpool’s bench.
And that’s without Shanks. Dalglish, Souness on the pitch too. Cuing up for trophies.
Good times. And a legendary team:Liverpool

40 years ago today. I was an 11 year old Blackpool fan who attended my first game at Wembley with my Stoke supporting dad and 18 year old Utd fan elder brother. Dad (RIP) and I were in the seats opposite the royal box. My bro was in the Liverpool end and was pretty safe due to the amount of mancs in with the scousers. It was one of the best days of my life. I didn't support either team, so could enjoy the game as a neutral. I treasure days like these that I spent with my old fella.
Nice that you got to experience that with your dad. My grandparents ( United supporters) told me about the amazing FA Cup Final between Blackpool & Bolton in 1953 as they were living in Blackpool at that time. Incredible number of United fans in the Liverpool end in 1983. Let's hope Blackpool can get back to the Championship at least 👍 LUHG.
I enjoy watching these old football matches, and I have to say that Liverpool kit with the yellow pinstripes would have to be one of best looking Umbro kits ever made.
I had that yellow kit when I was a kid..Xmas 82 I believe.
Kennedy...The man of the finals!!!
Valerios Souris He was indeed!
yes was but so gerrard scored in everyfinal apart from 2
@@andrewwright4195 Gerrard was an attacking midfielder Kennedy was a right back. Kennedy never lost in a final wheras Gerrard lost in three of them and four if you include the world club final

I love the way both manager's just sit on the bench throughout, only standing up when a goal is scored and half rising for a contentious decision. No ostentatious stalking of the touchline as happens today, together with performative badgering of the officials.
Also, how great to see unadorned shirts (no sponsors or players' names) and Bob Paisley's flat cap and raincoat!
wow norman whiteside was only 17 makes me proud to see a fellow belfast man play for the team i love mind you i was only born in 1983 but i still love to watch old united v liverpool games shame we lost this one though lol GGMU
Fabolos match full of adventerous football from both teams.The Golden Age of soccer.Amen.
yeah, as an LFC fan it pains me to think United have more trophies in history but we will be back some day
It truly was. Great football.
Dave Felmer we’re equal now
FOOTBALL
How on earth Bob wasn''t given a knighthood is unbelievable?
Shaun Barry he wasn’t a man of fuss, tends to be those who want it get it and I bet Paisley would’ve turned it down.
Tommy Dunne true, for all fergies achievements, can we say he really deserved a knighthood? More than paisley?
If Bobby Charlton got one then Bob Paisley and Bill Shankly should have
@@paranoidandroid192 Are you serious? Paisley inherited a successful club with a boot room full of experience from the man who built Liverpool Bill Shankly. If anyone deserved a Knighthood for his contribution it was Shanks- he actually got an OBE as did Bob. Paisley was a very good and modest man but Ferguson's achievements far outweigh Paisleys. Ferguson BUILT clubs and teams. Look what he did @ a comparatively small club in Aberdeen against the might (in those days) of the Old Firm. Back then Glasgow Rangers( the richest club in Europe) could have bought and sold both Manchester United and Liverpool. He then went on to win trillions of trophies @ Manchester United.
I actually do believe that Paisley should have been knighted and he was a lovely modest old bloke but he was never the manager that Shanks, Ferguson or Clough were!!!
Paisley served in WW2.
This was my first Wembley experience with my dad. It felt like the equaliser wasn't going to happen. But when Barney Rubble scored, it felt like the Wembley steps would collapse! Great atmosphere with 100,000 people in the stadium. Tickets cost £5 lol
who exactly is barney rubble? i thought Kennedy scored the equalizer, or not?
@@pietranera22 Barney Rubble was Kennedy's nickname ;)
@@nolls14 oh i see, i didn't get it, because usually
nicknames are single ( without surname )
@@pietranera22 yes the crowd used to sing to all of the players and Alan Kennedy's chant was Barney, Barney, Barney.
Phil Neal - our other full-back was named Zico lol. I never understood why.
The atmosphere at old wembly stadium can not be compared to anywhere else regardless of who is playing.
The teams Liverpool beat in the 1982, 1983 and 1984 League Cup Finals all went on to win the FA Cup that same season.
Very observant
@@eddiepower3876 I don't miss much.
@@ppuh6tfrz646 Not related to Fairclough then? :)
Great observant point
Tottenham beat Fulham in 82; Man Utd beat Brighton in 83 and Everton beat Watford in 84
Even by 1983 standards, Grobbelar should received a red for that challenge on McQueen.
The 1980s were brilliant
Great goals by Kennedy and whelan
The late great Ray Wilkins, target of my favourite piece of commentary ever. Playing for England, he sent a ball through for a forward, who realised he'd be offside & didn't go for it, prompting;
"& Ray Wilkins sends an inch-perfect pass to no-one in particular!"🤣
Remember this game well, United fans all over the ground. Great atmosphere despite the defeat. At the end we sang "We'll be back" and we did v Brighton in the FA cup final.
An 850 mile round trip, my first Wembley visit, but couldn't get a ticket. Saw a Cockney Tout get hammered by United fans and he got all his tickets nicked. I didn't see any Liverpool fans......seriously Not a one in colours at least and I walked 360 degrees around Wembley. Gutted at the result but thankfully I was back weeks later to see us win the big domestic cup v Brighton 😊 #GlazersOutNow
@@KryptonitetoallBS You can see on the first goal how many United fans were in the Liverpool end.
@@2011pmacz OMG you're right, I've never noticed that before. I wonder why there weren't murders, as 83 was bang in the middle of the period where there was serious hatred between the 2 clubs set of fans, just as there is today!
was there what a strike by whelan !
sorry, iam liverpool-mate since the seventies, but that foul from the keeper was a clear red one.
h.m.
From a united fan. You are correct.
I was 12 when that final took place, I was distraught when Liverpool won, as a United fan since ‘76, I was sick of watching them win everything.
Little did I know....
1976-1990 must've been painful for you. You had a good 20 years between 1993-2013 but since 2018 we've been better than you
John Motson simply the best commentator of all time.
@@ramadanbaftiyar8318 Nah, the voice of Midlands football Hugh Johns.
What a team .
In fairness two very good sides
@@redlad6 That united team was rubbish. Won nothing lol
@@redlad6 Erm no don't compare that Manc team to Liverpool's
Bruce Grob.....the greatest keeper God ever created
Τhe first game between the pair that I evew saw, the game that made me -despite the loss - a lifetime United fan.
It's always great beating enemy in final no matter what final it is.
i was at the game ...what an atmosphere compared to now...
Rab1bluenose football is dying mate
Cup final atmosphere today is nonexistent. Totally sanitised and music pumped out as soon as the trophy is lifted. It also takes about 15 minutes from the final whistle to the captain collecting the trophy, by which point half the crowd have pissed off home.
@@ZeldaFitz i seen all utds finals since 79 an after chelsea 2018 i will not bother agsin. it hurts me more than pleases me the atmosphere etc for s final
What a way for Bob Paisley to end his Liverpool managerial career. Decades of service to Liverpool in different roles

That was the last League Cup Final to be played on a Saturday, you only had recorded highlights then ... The following year (and there on) It has been played on a Sunday and shown live.
Did *not* expect to see Kenneth Kaunda at 12:40!
Great mouth-watering final with 2 star-studded teams. The kind of wet dream match for football fans.
Classic Game
Paisley & Fagan ... what a Duo
Ropey pitches. Teams containing majority of British players. Hard tackles (very little rolling around) No VAR taking 3 minutes to decide if a decision was clear and obvious (face palm)......has football really progressed?

It also kicked off at 3pm along with all the other league games
Was this not one of the first live games ( apart from the fa cup final) on bbc ?
@@edwardcooper5479 It was the first time The B.B.C. had the rights on The League Cup Final as I.T.V. had beforehand.
extraordinary goal
Alan kendy Nice 💯🏆
Amazingliverpool.forever😍👏👍🙌
They're still looking for Faircloughs ball
How did he do that?
very beautiful last time
When winning the league cup meant something
Not a Liverpool fan but i did love that kit as a kid, i was 12 at the time so ripe for the marketing. Pester level = Grandmaster.
When the League cup was important to the big clubs.
How was Paisley never knighted?
yes 3 European cups and not knighted ! astonishing! Brian Clough should have been considered also!
because it was maybe shanks outfit to manym
@@redflag8970 Paisley was the manager for nine years, and at the club for almost 50 years, I don't get your point, I doubt many think that.
@@Deadeye1967 listen im man utd but to me scouse always think shankly before paisley just my opinion
@@redflag8970 True, Paisley was my era as a kid so remember him more, making great signings and winning everything. Shankly brought the club up from its knees in Division 2 , to winning the Division 1 3 times, plus 2 FA cups, 1 UEFA cup and built a great team for Paisley to inherit, Paisley took the winning habit further.
Am I right in thinking that barny rubble and Ronnie wheelan scored in the next final but was disallowed?
Yes well at least I remember Kennnedy having one disallowed for offside
just realized this season man.united's adidas jersey font is taken from this era of man.uniteds jersey.
One Design 1986 to 1988 to be exact. matches almost perfectly. Not keen on this season's though.
one of last career matches of 28yr old coppell, last match i think was april 4th 1983.
RIP Gordon McQueen.
As a Liverpool fan I remember the big man telling the ref don’t you dare send him off, when Grobbelar had thrown himself at Gordon, great player, Great man.
Две великие команды встретились в финале, в 70-80 годы Ливерпуль был сильнее.
Absolutely correct decision to only caution Grobbelaar. The ball was going out for a throw, therefore not a goal scoring opportunity for McQueen.
Wow! - Fairclough still there in '83. Mind you, they probably turfed him out at the final whistle after that display.
David Fairclough left Liverpool before the start of the 1983-84 season. I think that he went to the Swiss team, Lausanne
Liverpool struggled v Utd in the Cups, even in the glory years .. nice to see this one again :)
Utd until 2006 hadn’t lost to Liverpool in the f. A cup for decades. League cup they beat us in more than once
flag aaa
The FA Cup was Liverpool’s bogey trophy in their heyday of the 70’s and 80’s
@@RockyScorcese despite their victory this year it still kinda is.
🥰🥰🥰🏆❤️🏆🥰🥰🥰
Some goal from Whiteside
No sponsors names on the shirts?
Not for a televised match, no, even if only highlights.
The football league shot themselves in the foot by calling this cup the Milk cup followed by other silly names it would be like calling the FA cup the egg cup after this the trophy started to lose its importance
Think it was the only way they could get advertisement at that time , think it was more of a trophy for the lower leagues
The league cup and the fa cup stood still. Both cups were highly prestigious trophies to win, back in the day. But once the money kicked in, the Premier League and Champions League pulled away. You only have to compare the prize money for each competition, to realise why some clubs prioritise top four placement over winning a cup. Effectively, the value of both cups has eroded over three decades.
How about the egg and bacon with a glass of milk cup!
@@RobCLynch during the 60s no one took the league cup seriously but in the 70s n 80s it grew. wasnt even live on telly till 85
@@redflag8970 norwich city v sunderland in the rain lol.
I noticed there was Liverpool and Manchester Utd fans sitting amongst each other. did this used to be a friendly rivalry back then like the Merseyside derby?
Not chance was it friendly early 80s was as bad as it got between fans we were well out numbered that day by United
@@jj-oc2sy i guess that's why the cheers for the united goal was loader then.
Liverpool fans were hiding ,always been snidey😂
we were totally outplayed that day. great turnout by fans tho utd allover the place.
Not sure where you get that from. Old Brucie Grobblesh1t would have been sent off for taking out a player like that nowadays. And we were basically playing with 10 men for last part of game. Like most games against the Dirties in the 80s, we did well. Unlike the lacklustre lot who play for us now
@@guyneeve9365 under pressure the whole game an I felt it was a matter of time before they overcame us. Just my opinion bud.
@@guyneeve9365 yep Utd we’re good against them in the 80s. This current Utd not up for a fight .
@@guyneeve9365 No one cares
@@guyneeve9365 Mancs are the dirties pal
Oh I have finally turned into me Dad, but wasn't football better then? End to end, proper tackles, real fouls, mistakes, and blokes giving their all leaving everything on the pitch. Yeah they might do impressive stuff with the ball now but it's not half as exciting to watch as if was then.
Grobbelaar clearly got the ball before the man.
Gavin- It was Gary Bailey who spared Ron Fatkinson the humiliation of losing the Cup Final to Brighton a couple of months after this. Would have been Utd's very own Wimbledon '88 embarrassment
United already had their 'Wimbledon 88' in 1976 when second division Southampton beat them in the FA cup final
+Eddie Power That's a fair point Eddie. Least Southampton weren't a bunch of nasty thugs or windup artists.
Maybe but has to be said he misses a couple of crosses in this game which are very reminiscent of his error in the 79 Cup final allowing Arsenal to get out of jail in the last minute!
Wimbledon did finish 7th in the First Division in 1988. Whilst a huge upset, it does not compare to Sunderland '73, So'ton '76 or West Ham '80.
A great day. I was at this game v United. 5 of us went by boat and train from Northern Ireland to London ! 4 Liverpool fans and one United fan . Great trip and great memories. My United friend was so distraught after the game he went straight back to the hotel to bed lol. Rest of us hit Central London to celebrate. Long hungover journey back on the Sunday but well worth it! Football was great in those days. I still go to Liverpool around half a dozen times a season but really miss the old terracing and don't like the day trippers who spend all game taking pictures and videos. Corporate has a lot to answer for!
Gary Bailey will be disappointed with that Alan Kennedy goal. He should have done better..
If only Whiteside didn't f his knees up AND drink like a fish. What a talent.
The score line flattered the Mancs
have to agree ha
We were guilty of missing copious amounts of chances too.
#ynwa
Back then the scorelines quite often flattered them..but it was just nice to get a win.In this era they had the sign over us I'm affraid...main rivals and our bogey team.Nearly makes you feel sorry for Neverton these days...NOT.

This was a great era for football. I am a liverpool fan so that comment is with some bias but there were some great players and managers.
This United side should have won the league in the late 70s and early 80s some fantastic players too.
Fairclough was a super sub! The super sub!
State of that pitch.
Show the 77 cup final😂
Paisley bollocking Fairclough was great!
King Liverpool
My God, Brucey on MacQueen. It takes some balls to batter a hard case like GM. It also takes some balls to keep Grobbelaar on the pitch, after said battering. I am LFC till I die, but while I laugh, I can't defend that! I appreciate football was a lot less full shite back then, but that's an awful foul, even by the rather looser standards of the times.
