- A truly classic FA Cup semi-final this one. Liverpool had not been beaten in any of their previous 16 games in all competitions and were closing in on another league title. But United had won their last three FA Cup ties against the Anfield club - including the 1977 final at Wembley. Played at Maine Road and you are in the hands of Brian Moore on commentary.

When football was football , men were men , fans were fans , passion was passion and grass was mud.......
I can’t watch today’s corporate football love these clips when football meant more than money
I'm a Luton fan in the championship play offs ...I enjoyed the conference years better going to barrow on a wet ties night or Dartford real football
..and mistakes follow mistakes!
When blokes complained about the way footballers hugged each other when they scored, not like the men of the old days!
And stadiums weren’t just featureless all-seater bowls
I'm not blind to all the improvements in the game,but I'd take this over the modern version every time.
The goal by Dalglish was sensational. Dalglish, at his imperious best close control on such a heavy pitch was unbelievable and I'm a life long Manchester United fan.
Fabulous stuff even 40 years later it still stirs the blood. Replay was an incredibly tense match and I am not even a Liverpool or a United supporter. I know many people comment like a broken record about this but somehow it just ain't the same game.
classic game between the 2 great giants of English football, great atmosphere and passion, when football was not the pampered money dominated monster it is today, just two great teams giving their all to reach the final of the greatest cup competition in the world, the famous FA CUP when football was great to watch, miss them days
Remember this game at maine road. It’s fair to say it went off royal after the game
football when it was football..no egos..potato patch..end to end proper skill all giving their all..and terracing to add to a great proper atmosphere...oh what the youngsters have truly missed👹
Not a Liverpool fan but always admired Steve highway
Love it. 70s cup football at its finest.
The two greatest clubs in the history of English / British football. Are you watching Arsenal, Man City and Chelsea?
I did watch Arsenal in the final.
They say the game is faster now. They certainly couldn't play at that speed on a pitch like that.
i watch these less sophisticated games and i cant help remembering how it used to be on the terraces. the crammed bodies, the stifling heat, the noise, the heathen excitement, no health and safety, the mass of bodies behind both goals, the north stand! the north stand! a 2 hour mosh pit for some games, the difficulty of trying to light a ciggy with the crowd always surging, helplessly pushing you 10 yards one way, then another, if you fell, then as if by magic, a circle ALWAYS appeared around you and you were hauled back on your feet. fuck todays sterilised game. the kids dont know what they missed.
Yep yep and yep! Remember being in the Scoreboard Paddock at OT - absolutely packed, United scored, we all jumped up, guy next to me caught his little finger in the arm of my glasses and off they whipped; I just started pushing people (I was about 18) out of the way, tyhey asked what was the matter, I explained and like you say, a circle appeared and we found them - in one piece! Can't agree more with your view - "less sophisticated....(but) how it used to be on the terraces".
I can't see how football is more sophisticated now. There have been changes but they haven't made the game more sophisticated.
I was there … 14 years old with my Dad … half way up the Kippax … could hardly see a thing … wonderful wonderful wonderful memories….. I also went to the replay at Goodison …. Will never ever ever forget jumping on my dad when Jimmy Greenhoff scored that beautiful stooping header … ..
It is a great game to watch . When foot ball was played for amusement and not for money . Really a game like this shown by these two great teams quench our thirst .
What an extraordinary match..
When football was fantastic
That goal by Dalglish was a truly masterclass 👏 one of the greatest goals I think I've ever seen 👏
These teams played in same round in 1985 too. Like here initially at Maine Road ended 2-2 but United won replay at Goodison Park. Was vice versa 1985
With all the dominance Liverpool had in the 70’s and 80’s their record in the FA cup was pretty ordinary. Always wondered why that was especially as the FA cup was held in a lot higher regard back then. I think it was something that Liverpool fans were aware of as well.
Oh it really bothered us. We pretended it didn't, because we kept winning the league; but loads of my childhood memories of the FA Cup are me being upset by Greenhoff, then Brian Talbot, then Brighton at Anfield, Mark Hughes, the list seemed to go on an on. Then we got a bit lucky in '86.
Cup was one off games that suited some good sides that were inconsistent in the league but good on there day whereas Liverpool were caught up in title race an two legged euro ties in which they had mastered
@@redflag8970 They won the League Cup four years in succession though.
@@basylpeterjones yes they did an they had good success in fa to in honesty
@@redflag8970 Bob Paisley suffered an FA Cup curse.
I was there, what a game, as a UTD fan gutted at the end...but we won the replay ,never missed a match then..
I vividly remember a report on Grandstand at full time, Motson I think, who described the game as a disappointing non event or something like that. One of the great games of that era, Liverpool the well oiled machine and united who were known as a cup team in that period, more than a match for them on the day. What a fantastic atmosphere at Maine Road, in a time when the semis were played at clubs grounds such as goodison, villa, etc. Fantastic events before it was scandalously moved to Wembley to rake in more cash. Silly.
as a product modern football with great stadia lush turf an great players n no ag on terrace is a improvement of a sort but does anyone ever fall in love with there club anymore as we did in these times
This was the first time I'd been to Maine Road (as a 10 year old). The whole experience was really exciting... especially Alan Hansen's equaliser with 9 minutes left as I was sat near that end in the main stand. Classic cup tie. I was also at the Goodison replay. The less said about that the better... lol
JIMMY GREENHOFFFFFF! ...still, we lost the final, albeit one of the greatest in FA Cup history (was on ITV recently; they been showing ext highlights of various cup finals every saturday, this w/e was 1979)
Yes, I would take this over aby so called improvements in the modern game.
Best United kit of all time!!!
Great days 2 teams battling away sicken ya to watch the manure united serve up these days pampered prima Donna I miss those days
Wicked footage. Was on the edge of my seat. One fashion note - the hair's gotten (mostly) shorter, while the shorts have gotten longer. lol
Brilliant. A bit of Hansen grit and determination saves the day.
we could do with a bit more of that these days.
Fantastic yellow strip
Anyone else look at those fences, and think "Hillsborough is only a few years away"?
Would like to see today's prima donnas play on a pitch like that.
This happened in 79' and this is the first time I've seen it....classic is right...that was the United I remember before I left London, when Coppell, Buchan, Albiston, just 21 coz I left in 77' and Abiston was 19....this was the best United team for a while....
Liverpool got pens like that nearly every game back then, fucking awful decision
@Diego Diaz
Not as bad as that one, United in their hey day really didn't get pens.... Just scored really late goals
@@salfordnick5336 hahahahahahahahahahahaha...i presume you do stand up?
@@stel3209
Christ are you about 12 you fucking tool.... I lived through it, you clearly didn't you fucking moron
Bit like Utd these days eh
@@michaelbennett6925
Yeah, like the martial one was dodgy on Sunday 🤦 united didn't get penalties under fergie.... They just scored late goals, name me a famous late penalty in the good old days eh??
Was there with my uncle with united, we also went to the replay at goodison, greenoff
Ffs.. if my garden was that bad, I’d be arrested for negligence..
What a game, the modern game is crap
Crazy after 40 years I can still name the whole Utd team, and half of the Liverpool team as well. I was 9 in 1979- it must have been the Figurini panini stickers we all collected back then!
Panini are still going strong mate, my eldest boy collects them.
@@ramps2402 No way! Does he take his swaps to school to trade? Ah memories!
@@stephenowens3687 yea mate he does as well as swaps them with his mates where we live, the only difference is there not peel back ones that you stick in the book nowadays the book has see through pockets that he puts them into 🤣.
@ramps2402 That's progress I suppose? I quite liked peeling them and sticking them in the book.
@@stephenowens3687 🤣 yea mate same here, still it’s good to see panini are still going strong.
That goal by Dalglish was pure class
It really is. And that’s from a United fan.
I remember watching this and think Kenny's goal was the best I'd ever seen. We were in school on the monday and trying to emulate it in the playground. What a player. And what a shit pitch
Extraordinary Dalglish goal - one of his best ever
3pm saturday afternoon not live on tv
classic!
United fans on the Kippax
Nothing new there..we always took it year after year😉😉🤣👹
As always
I wonder if the ref got his £100, or was it conditional on the penalty being scored?
FFS...i'd hand that pen back....as long as you hand back the THOUSANDS of incorrect decisions that won you 13 PLs.
Terrible decision. But in fairness, it was the only penalty Liverpool were awarded in 1979.
@@johnholmes8178 Really? Wow. To be fair, they didn't need penalties that year - they were almost unbeatable.
@@stel3209 OK! I'll arrange for that to happen.
What a goal by Dalglish
Maine Road Sat 31 Mar 1979 at 15:00 UK local time, Attendance: 52,584
No Way was that that 31st of May ... it was early April
No grounds team those days?
some game!!!
What was more atrocious?
The playing conditions
The Liverpool penalty decision
Full blooded match when it mattered 100 times more to fans and players alike
That's easy - the penalty decision! Nothing wrong with playing in a bit of mud. Well a lot of mud.
Obviously it's great that players have good pitches all year round these days, but cabbage patches used to be part of our football culture - can't help missing them a bit.
At the end of that game, I thought Liverpool will beat Utd at Goodison Park, Evertons Ground, but no they lost 0-1.
Kenny the King...
I'm a United fan but it looks like Coppell handled the ball into Brian Greenhoff's path for the second Utd goal, strange how there's no complaints from the Liverpool players or comments about it from Brian Moore. I was 11 at the time and I remember my cousin (who was a Liverpool fan) threatening to beat me up if United ended up winning the game, typical Liverpool fan eh? lol
I always wondered which team Coppell supported growing up - realistically, it had to have been either Everton or Liverpool...
@@robicenco1 he was a Liverpool fan an used to watch them he also said he laughed an enjoyed when Utd got relegated. Following yr he signed for Utd an fell in love with them.
@@redflag8970 Never knew that, thanks. He was a great player..
@@robicenco1 ye it was in his book touch an go I read it yrs ago prob early 80s
Optical illusion mate. I think the fact that zero players appeal for handball is proof enough that it’s his right foot that contacts the ball.
Both teams in their away colours.
They should bring back that convention for semis and finals where there is a colour clash.
Actually this was Liverpool's third kit!
@@MrJonno85 Would have been fun and games if they'd both turned out in white shirts and black shorts. :-D
Was same situation in cup final 1980@@MrJonno85
@@rajnirvan3336 And 1982.
@@jonathancole833 ah yes that as well
I think that was the first time Liverpool ever used that Yellow Kit.
it was....
And a nice one too 👍🏻
Actually they wore yellow in one-off cup games in the 1960s against Ajax and Arsenal (and possibly once in the 1950s against Accrington Stanley). This was their first "regular" yellow kit though.
(I didn't know this - credit to one of my favourite websites: www.historicalkits.co.uk/)
@@robicenco1 From 1970 up to that time I never witnessed a yellow kit as the Away Strip was white top with red trimmings, black shorts, white socks ... So "In my life time" that was the first time they had that yellow kit on ... beyond then, they used a yellow kit every Know and again.
@@merseydave1 Sure - I'm not trying to pick a fight, just add a bit of information to the discussion.
What a game...gary bailey harsh but true always a mistake in him....
why are both teams in there away strip?
For some reason FA Cup semi final replay rules dictated that both wore away kits> No idea why. This was frost time Liverpool had ever worn the all yellow kit. Up until that point (and beyond) their away kit was black and white like United's
Obviously both can't wear red so in theory it made sense to wear away colours provided they don't clash
@@tdonovan4735 You could be right since then but there was going to be a toss for strips for this particular game. Liverpool having lost the toss before the 1977 final decided they didn’t want to risk that again so it was agreed that both teams would change
22 british players!!!!!! I rest my case.
Can't see the passion exhibited from the now saturated foreign premiership players compared to the British players here. The modern game is shite.
Both wearing away kits????
Great idea for an important match at a neutral venue. When playing in red means so much to both teams it's a bit unfair to give one of them an advantage.
why did Liverpool play in yellow from here on. Not that they play in it much these days.
This was their new 3rd kit. They didn't adopt all-yellow as their first-choice away strip until 1981-82.
How come McDermoot took the penalty instead of Neal, who rarely missed from the spot?
Terry McDermott assumed penalty duties after Phil Neal missed one against Leeds Utd back in November of that season.
@@johnholmes8178 Thanks, good info.
We lost the final
I would rather watch this than the firdt game of the season.
Im so frd up of modern footballers.
Kissing the badge and out the door a day later for megabucks.
These players were better technically.
Every liverpool midfielder could srtike and score.
Oh and the atmosphere real
Not the contrived bullshit today and that includes us.
Putting ynwa over the tannoy so the foreigners wont feel embarrassed.
Thanks for reading my rant fellow old geezers
Liverpool should have won by a cricket score that day and saved there worst performance of the season for the replay !!
I think this was the first time Liverpool played in yellow.
Apparently not! 1956 vs Accrington Stanley, it seems.

@@robicenco1 great website - I should have said all yellow
@@lastschicker I think this was their first "regular" yellow kit rather than ones they wore in one-off emergencies.
It is a fantastic site. So much football history there.
Some people forget just how good king Kenny was...
Footie when it was at its best as opposed to todays sanitised shite.
Looks like Liverpool were playing football, while United were route-1 cloggers back then.
Nah.
@@robicenco1 Yeah, most definitely!
The noise coming from the United support was just incredible and yet again they knocked The Scum out in the replay. Beautiful, just beautiful ;-)
Don't worry - United went on to LOSE the Cup final against Arsenal whereas Liverpool went on to WIN the League. Who had the last laugh?
20 times? I'm guessing it was United who had the last laugh bit.ly/2JUBpJ1
I think the "Last Laugh" comment related to THAT specific season. If we continue to count trophy success some 29 years on from THAT specific season then it becomes an immeasurable commodity as the measure will never finish.
all these comments go nowhere just enjoy the greatness of this era an crowds at there best
@@bluespoon1969 66>63. Manchester United, putting England on the map and making England proud since 1878.
Even Liverpool's traditional 12th man "The Referee" couldn't save them from this draw and then defeat in the replay. Good has beaten Evil more times than the other way around. Was this Dalglish's only ever goal against United? He certainly couldn't reproduce his normal form in this clash as he couldn't cope with the pressure and the one sided atmosphere!!!
Your club was a mid table team in the 70's and 80's. You were shit then.
@@anfieldreds5027 Nearly as shit then, as they are now!
And this clown thinks that Utd, with their leading the way with their rampant corporatisation of the sport; their leveraged buy out owners bleeding their club dry, while their ground falls into disrepair; and their team that cares more about social media than winning trophies, are somehow the "good" in his imaginary binary world - and Liverpool are then the "evil"?
What a poor, deluded lunatic!
And, not only that - but he actually thinks King Kenny, the three-time European Cup, and serial trophy winner; as player *AND* manager - couldn't perform under pressure, even when he scored such a great goal in this game itself?
What a total fucking moron!
I think Dalglish scored one at Old Trafford in 83 or 84 but apart from that his record against United was Rush-like.
@@robicenco1701 He scored the equaliser in a 1-1 draw at OT in early 1983. My first ever United game. Average game but the biggest crowd of the season and a magic atmosphere. I was standing on a terrace in the corner looking down on the scouse end. God I wish football was still like that. I loved it. I don't love it now.
@@stephenflynn5214 I don't think anyone really loves it now tbh. We've got great memories though.
When Scots dominated English football
Scots DID NOT dominate English Football, BUT some of them were GREAT Players!.
It seems subbiteo
Today's football is crap compared to this.
Well dodgy penalty
Liverpool got the usual dodgy penalty
Agreed mate. Never a penalty but was par for the course during the 70's and 80's. Many a ref from those days have secretly admitted being on the Anfield payroll!!!
@@KryptonitetoallBS what absolute and utter bullshit - "many a ref... *secretly* admitted to being on the Anfield payroll", my arse; give over, you total clown!
@@DaSkonk I know of 2 personally and they told me that it was well known throughout the refereeing fraternity that if you were lenient with Liverpool small packages would find there way to your home address.

@@KryptonitetoallBS You do in your arse "know of two personally"; what absolute dribble - you're just another bitter manc twat with an anti-Liverpool axe to grind; as your sore-loser, childish comments all over this thread show to anyone who cares to look.

As I said already - get lost with your delusional ramblings, you absolute clown!
@@KryptonitetoallBS hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha....you are one knob!
Scousers come from behind in a quagmire.. Giggity!
Brian Moore was truly an outstanding commentator. The best there was. Can you imagine such a soft penalty against Utd if Ferguson was in charge?
Was there trouble at either of these games? Obviously not the hooliganfest of six years later, but did the police do a better job than Merseyside police in 85?
