- 4th round League Cup tie from Anfield in November 1985. The game is famous for a brilliant goal by Jan Molby which for years seemed to have survived only in the memory of those fortunate enough to be there to witness it. Footage of that goal turned up a few years ago, and here are highlights of the game.
It's shot by a single camera with no commentary or replays.
Paul McGrath gave United an early lead before Molby scored 2 goals in a couple of minutes in the second half to win the game.
Molby’s goal still a classic one of the best I saw at anfield
Great goal
I was on the Kop that night with my dad and uncle and I have to say that it was one of the most fervent atmospheres I ever encountered at Anfield. Despite being champions 7 times in that decade, we struggled to beat United, who always managed to raise their game. We had waited a long time for this victory and it meant so much.
The Kop at it's swaying, surging best. There's not a better sight in football.
Molbys greatest goal. Thank god someone taped this, because the BBC was on strike so the game was never televised.
There was dispute between the League and BBC/ITV
When the league cup meant so so much, and the players were proper men playing fantastic football, the fans full of passion , standing was for the diehards, seats for the over 50s mainly. Refs allowed , certain, tackles to go , lets say unnoticed, and the coppers were prepared to let us fans have our differences outside the ground, fantastic times and sure beats 80 percent of the crap now a days
Stunning strike by Molby,surely one of his most spectacular goals!
I was on the kop with my Dad that night I am so pleased this footage has turned up... What a fantastic goal!
Then pen + Jan = goal
It usually did
I'd pay anything to be able to watch footy on TV without commentary like this.
I was 11 years old and right behind the goal I started crying when we where one down I think I can just make me out with my arms resting on the bars. Great memories 🙂
Had to watch it again! What a player Paul McGrath was.
Even though I'm a Liverpool fan, paul mcgrath was an amazing player....
Always seemed to be in the right place, especially with his goaline clearances.

IM A LIVERPOOL FAN. YOUR 100% RIGHT WORLD CLASS LIKE MOST ON THAT PITCH TO BE HONEST BUT HE WAS A NICE MAN. SAMMY MCILROY PROBABLY ISNT ON THERE BUT SAMMY IS SUCH A NICE MAN.IVE MET A LOT OF LIVERPOOL PLAYERS THEY ARE NICE PEOPLE.
Great to see this footage after thinking it was lost.. It's actually far better with no commentary. It's a lot more raw.
Big Jan. What a player he was!
We're very lucky to have these pictures because this game wasn't televised - hence no commentary. Apparently it was United who requested that it be filmed.
It seemed like we hadn't beaten United for a long time and despite winning many trophies, United were definitely a bogey side to us.
This was a great season for Liverpool and though we never went on to win this league cup, we finished 1985-86 season with a League and FA Cup double.
I was on the Kop that night with my dad and uncle. Great memories and thanks for uploading.
Man united started filming their matches from September 1985, missing the first 2 matches. Great for Liverpool fans that they did. Pity Liverpool didnt have the foresight to do the same. Watford were the pioneers of club videos. They started as early as 1980 i believe.
I am probably one of the only people who went to this match but missed Molby's thundercracker because I'd gone for a piss, or something like that. I was 14 and, to this day, can only remember one more occasion with a more feral atmosphere than this one and that was the semi at Goodison. I wasn't at the Chelsea semi in 2005 so I can't compare them, but it's difficult to describe just how raucous it was against United. The fact it was the league cup did not dilute it at all.
Went to this game with me mates the kop was bouncing big jan molby was class and what a first goal ..good times..
I was 15 .. kop end .. when molly scored I went one way and my glasses the other ... some fella went er lad and put me on my feet with the said glasses .. molbys goal was unreal .. great game by both teams .. but glad I was an LFC that day ..
Never knew Jan Molby was such an athlete!! Super player.
Normally a slug but covered the pitch like a top Sprinter with the ball.Never seen such a sight again.Even Paul Mcgrath goal was irregular
The Saturday league games were filmed by ITV with the familiar ITV commentators of the time Brian Moore, Martin Tyler, Peter Brackley but only for overseas broadcast in the international version of The Big Match which was called Big League Soccer which like The Big Match was presented by Brian Moore that was broadcast to Europe, South Africa, The Middle Eastern Arab countries, Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Australia, New Zealand, USA and Canada the 4 Liverpool games (all away) shown in this series in the first half of the 1985-86 season was West Ham v Liverpool 31 August 1985 the Merseyside Derby 21 September 1985, Manchester United v Liverpool 19 October 1985, and Arsenal v Liverpool 14 December 1985
Thanks for uploading this...no words really...I was in the main stand, Kop end that night and yes, there are many goals as good as Jan's equaliser, but none better YNWA...
Super upload again Dave Waller 👍thanks YNWA.
Was at this game in kop at age 15 glad highlights finally on tv
Thanks for this I remember being there and even though we lost to a very dodgy pen outside the box, we always gave the Scousers a good game. The Koop looks magical btw
Crazy Kopites I was in there madness
Who scored for the away team as those in white shirts..Please tell me
Paul McGrath
@@erniescullion8452 it was Paul McGrath who scored for Manchester United first. I have a feeling that McGrath was wearing the number 7 shirt and played in midfield for this game
I was in the Kemlyn for this standing at the back by the United fans . I was 14 and it was fun. You can feel the tension building in this towards the end of the game . I think we twatted United after it too. Only half of them turned up because of the violence in May that year in the Semi's at Goodison.
Pablo Jablo total rubbish mste we had the whole anny road stop takin cheap shots
distantvoices u know wot i mean bud it was a good turnout not like we never used to show.
Half of them turned up? We had 25000 tickets for goodison and filled our full allocated for this plus the usual forgeries for the Annie Rd Corner. Nothing happened after ,coaches all down by the park police well on top ,a mate of mine from ch got 4 month for smacking one as I recall,the usual shouts of Munich out of the dark,a scaffold pole through a window before the game was a everlasting memory. All in all a decent night for what we wanted then.
@@red-pn8fk very rarely the fans or firms had big offs at the big games . Lots of police an segregation bythen
Adidas originals kits are the best
They should make a safe standing area in Kop. Because this coverage shows you everyone is having great time standing and singing song's unlike today's game.
Not going to go over too well.
The whole kop stood for nearly every game this season. We don't need safe standing as we already have it
This game was one of the best atmosphere's I ever got to experience on the kop in the 80s. Electric.
It was my first game I went to my dad & his friend took me. Btw my dad was a Man U fan is was very quiet on way home.
Listened to it on the radio in the youth club
That man was and still is my football hero.
Had a couple of scoops before this game lost one of my reeboks on the kop walked back to my mates car with a soggy sock.😬
I was at the game but my brother taped it off the radio! Radio 2 back then. Anyhow I've recently found it again having thought it lost. Just the build up to Molby's first until just after the penalty. About 5 minutes. So both Liverpool goals. Commentators are Alan Green and Jimmy Armfield. Would be good to match it up to the pictures as the atmosphere and commentary is tremendous.
Sounds good. Let me know if you need any help.
Get it online. This stuff should be there for all to hear.
Thank You !!!!
Tv blackout for this game, think the cameramen where on strike? middle of the kop half canned, didn't see Molbys shot hit the net, pandemonium, great night .
Utd always beat LFC (77, 79, 85, 96) in the FAC but kept losing to them in League Cup (83, 85, 03). Sill, A rare 80s defeat for Utd at Anfield due to a missing Robbo.
We beat them in the League Cup in 1990!
meisterly manu Man U also beat Liverpool 2-1 in the fa cup in 1999 during our treble season.
@@galtongabriel1172 Liverpool turned the tables on Manchester United and beat them in the 2006 and 2012 FA Cup, although United beat Liverpool in the 2011 FA Cup
@@jeremyslaney5644 you’re spot on .The 2006 fa cup tie was Liverpool’s first victory over Man Utd in the FA CUP since 1921.
That was you're whole season though wasn't it beat Liverpool like Liverpool with you in the 90d
This is great! Who filmed this? And didn't throw the camera up in the air when Jan scored the equaliser! Even better that he won the ball off Whiteside, I never thought I'd see that goal again, thanks.
HankMorgan I've read in different places that it was a police video, or that Ron Atkinson had the game recorded
MUFC club video, they started doing them from that season.
Rambo what a player
Ha! That penalty call was ridiculous, some things never change.
Anyway, United-Liverpool games in the 1980s were awesome. They're still pretty gripping these days - they always will be - but nothing like the intensity of the mid 80s.
I concur, epic battles 💪
Gary Bailey was a decent enough keeper but he loved his theatrics
I was on the Kop that night and couldn't believe when I saw the attendance the next day - i'm sure the official crowd was less than 40,000. Certainly didn't fee like that.
Two famous quotes about these games, both a bit silly, but still funny.
Martin Taylor - In games between these two sides the ball is often incidental to what's happening elsewhere. Haha
Ron Atkinson - To be fair, it was like Vietnam when we went there.
The capacity was around 45,000 then. The attendance for this game was 41,000. United were allocated the whole Anfield Road end, and it looks as though they didn't totally fill it, hence the below capacity crowd.
Great footage it's weird that Liverpool couldn't beat the Mancs at Anfield from 1979-1988 in the league so this was a real bonus when it happened coincidently Ian Rush never scored against the Mancs at all in the eighties so probably part of the reason just like Suarez couldn't score in any of the major games against the other top three in our "almost" season two seasons back probably a major factor it went astray and that included the cups
Liverpool beat man u at anfield 2-0 boxing day 79 so must have started season after
played at some speed!! two good teams. paul mcgrath was a great player
The Great DANE sank the Devils
Utd's cup final then as now.
One of the only times we lost at anfield in the 80's!!
One of two. This, and September 1988, when Barnes tore us a new one.
Scherben your right was that the bloody penalty when Bruce fouled him?? I remember sitting in anfield road in September 1990 when beardsley scored the hat trick yet we played quite well that day and that was the only other time in that period that we got spanked. Good to talk to you again!!
That was the one.That one in 1990, we had our chances, but we were playing practically at bursting point. Liverpool's technique was way superior that day; they picked us off with ease. We must have learned our lesson, as our win at OT the following month was quality.
Scherben very true that 3-1 at OT and the 6-2 mauling we gave arsenal at Highbury convinced me we were on to something with Fergie. I like many people going to the games at the time were still unconvinced about him (mad as that sounds now) but that season was the one. I still loved the '80s though a proper enjoyable time to go to football
I was one of the unconvinced; and remained so up until we won the league. He took his time adjusting to English football; some signings great; some Ralph MIlne and Mal Donaghy. Yeah, OT in the 80s was a better place. Once United Road went, it was never the same for me. Look at the footage on Dave's channel from the Easter Monday 1987 game with Liverpool, and you'll see the "Crazy Corner" in full flow.
I have the Radio 2 commentary for this Dave. I am sure I have this to you already? Let me know
Yes, you did send me this. Thanks very much. It's here: czcams.com/video/fb2I7uYNHEc/video.html
@@DaveWallerLFC will you link to the footage?
I linked the commentary of the goals to the footage in this video czcams.com/video/ZqZVf0kr1rA/video.html. I wasn't planning to do any more of it.
5:33 Ladies and gentlemen...The Kop!
Liverpool. Türkiye ❤️
Would love to see Newcastle at home Dec 87 if you can get your hands on that
I'd love to see that too but as far as I know there were no cameras at that game.
I would like to see the previous season as and 18 year old Gazza and a player called Paul Stephenson (if I remember) ran rings around LFCs fullbacks that day. I was impressed with both of them.. 1-1 if I remember correctly. Beardsley scored for NUFC and I thought we should sign him. We did the following season.
That was the first time my dad & uncle took me to the match, so I remember it very well. 4-0. That Brazilian lad Mirandinha and Gascoigne were nothing compared to Beardsley and Barnes.
Thought VAR would have overruled the penalty being outside the box!
And may have given the foul deemed on the edge of the box as a penalty moments later.
Molby was quite agile when he was skinny.
Was BBC on a strike on that November day?
+Mortan Enni It wasn't a strike but there was a dispute between the clubs and the TV companies meaning that no football was shown on TV in England in the first half of the 1985/86 season.
aaaa, thanks. That was a great upload.
Kudos from the Faroese Redman
Wasn't that the season McAvennie scored s bus load for West Ham and no body seen them as no cameras were at any of the games.?? Mad times the mid 80's
FTM jarra there was no football on TV till Xmas because of a dispute between the football league and the TV companies. Then it was resolved and the first game shown was Charlton v west ham in the fa cup 3rd round. Which west ham won with a tony cottee goal
@@FTMJarra Some matches were still recorded (e.g. this one), for broadcast overseas, club videos etc. Have a look around CZcams - quite a few of them are up now.
Did you ever see highlights of the Manu v Pool game from boxing day 78 anywhere? Would love to see Fairclough's goal again.
+lastschicker As far as I know, nothing is available from that game. Sorry.
Missed robbo again
Rare footage 85/86
Shocking penalty decision
Bit of a home town call I think.
The one moments later was a pen I would say though.
Man U complaining about decisions????hahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahhahahahahahha
Clear hand ball
I did my own commentary!
5:21 ⚽️
What was the line ups
www.lfchistory.net/SeasonArchive/Game/1493
Grobbelaar's positioning for United's goal is terrible - he's practically on the goal line when the shot is taken..
He was a bloody clown for half the balls that came his way in the air in my opinion. Overrated.
@@hankmorgan3501 Every video of him I see he's making stupid mistakes that cost goals (and that's how I remember him from the late 80s and early 90s too). Yes, acrobatic and occasionally brilliant, but one of the most unreliable GKs ever to play for a top English side.
@@robicenco1701 Couldn't agree more...
@@hankmorgan3501 That said, McGrath took the goal like an international centre-forward, some touch and finish at speed! He was a class act.
Great to see Alan Brazil looking like art Garfunkel .... This is why he hates Liverpool he had some pastings off us.
Was the penalty for handball?
Yeah. The thumbnail picture for the video shows it.
Yes, handball inside the centre circle.
It's right on the edge of the box. Maybe just outside but if the benefit if the doubt is going against the player who's punches the ball away that doesn't seem too harsh. But obviously I'm biased...
@@DaveWallerLFC Ha ha, I was exaggerating a little for effect. Clearly outside the box but United have had one or two marginal penalty calls go their way at OT over the years so I'll accept this one. :-)
i think all the players are above 28...its like they dont make room for younger squad
+Okechukwu sylvester according to lfchistory.net the average age of Liverpool players in this game was 25, and Utd was 26, so I'm not sure where you've got 28 from...
+Dave Waller i no nothing about history... what am saying is that there faces looks old
Everyone looked older in the 70's and 80's, if you were a boy you had long hair and a moustache by age 12.
@@JohnMcMahon. And they all drank like fish... baby faces don't survive ten years of boozing.
It's not so much their faces, it's their appearance and hair styles. Long hair & moustaches made people seem older than they actually were but there was a lot of fresh faces behind the hair styles.. And I don't think the majority of them were as bad with drinking.. It's just a stereotype.
Dodgy pen - some things don't change. 😅
Molby got greedy at 12.0 ...wanted the hat trick
Yeah he should have played it through for the player in front to his left.
It was never a pen though, was it??
Hand ball so yes it was
2 words - molby goal....
missed mc grath goal there was about 200 icj outsice we got off at edge hill walked unoposed till the dibble put us on the mustard and green buses to shitefield good goal molby mind icj to pay is to fail
neil williams Youse always got picked up by the Bizzies at Edge Hill abd that's why youse got off there. Theres another video of the same year showing that .
@@pablojablo6371 not true specials went to edge hill the mob came off lime st. it didnt make much odds after inital bit of action police picked u up anyway.
