(12th March 1966) Match Of The Day - Liverpool v Tottenham Hotspur

12th March 1966: A brief respite from the BBC's obsession with Manchester United. This week "Match of the Day" returns to Anfield where runaway leaders, Liverpool continue their march to the title. At time when it was only two points for a win Liverpool are now eight points clear at the top and apparently coasting. A particularly difficult task for Tottenham Hotspur as they hadn't won at Anfield at this point since 1912.

The goal is at 34.15. Liverpool finding it hard work against a good Spurs side but still created plenty of chances. This team were at their peak that 65/66 season. Roger Hunt would go on to star in the World Cup but was never quite as good after. Peter Thompson would probably also played for England but for injury.

Ciggie smoke getting blown across the ground from time to time....bloody awful match from both sides but midweek European matches played by both and of course, team was generally the same each week. Camera was in the Kemlyn Rd stand in those days.
