Rush was an expert in being in the right place at the right time. He read the game very well. A great finisher.

[@spendover]

Molby and Whelan are so underrated

[@toffeetone77]

Im an Evertonian i remember this like it was yesterday.I hope the both the blues and reds can dominate again one day.RIP Emlyn.COYB!

[@TheSlighty]

I am a Spurs fan mate, the 80s seemed amazing eh we won a couple you won some the Reds won some... great finals. I miss the days when it was ALL Day build up... the buses arrive, players on pitch ... it is tragic teams want 4th now and it is all chewing gum n big headphones as they get off the bus.

@Larry Brady thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site thru google and I'm trying it out atm. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

9:10 great to see the pic at the end of Kenny with Bob Paisley. Bob won everything except the FA Cup in his day. Glad he was there to see and enjoy it👍

[@philipreilly7485]

I was at that game… memorable occasion being the first all merseyside cup final… Everton just missed out on the title that year and then the cup final but bounced back the next year to win the title

[@mrkipling2201]

You have to feel sorry for the Everton team back then. They had to go on an open top bus procession through Liverpool along with the victorious Liverpool team!! They were at the back of the procession. I can only imagine how they must have felt!!

[@dt7449]

Des Lyman was superb, the best host there been I think.

[@Chriswatney]

No one would have known at the time... but Des Lynams comment at the end, mentioning that Aberdeen had won the cup in Scotland was in fact a precursor of what was to come in English football... as it was Alex Ferguson’s last title north of the border before joining United! As Liverpool fan, these are amazing memories... so good to be back on top again! YNWA

[@davidmiles2636]

Unbelievable that Des Lynam was only 43 here, he looked like he was ready to collect his pension!

Interviewer said "you learned that in the jungle" to Bruce Grobbelaar....imagine saying that now. Honest and simple people doing what they loved, players and pundits.

[@ronb5714]

Grobelaar has repeatedly said that his experience of actual combat, literally in the jungle, shaped his entire outlook on life and on football, often in practical ways. It would not carry half as much meaning if an interviewer put it to somebody who grew up in a country which happened to have some jungle areas. So your statement about how things have changed doesn’t really work. Sorry!

Five times eh? And the thing your shower is still most known for in Europe are the horrible events of 29/5/85 and getting all other English clubs thrown out.

[@Suttoner76]

Murderers....justice for the 39. Scum club with scum fans who are simply hated. Always everyone elses fault from Heysel to Suarez to Michael Sheilds to their behaviour in Athens 07 and most things in between. The most despised set of 'fans' in Europe. And sanctimonious arseholes to boot. Even UEFA called them the 'worst fans in Europe'.

[@BonkeyDollocks]

Liverpool. Fucking wankers.

Andy Gray. Top fella

[@davidmorton2630]

Not sure a lot of people will agree with you about that.

[@ocn14s]

The part of the interview where Bob Wilson says to Bruce Grobelaar "you learnt that in the jungle" in reference to his fine save - nowadays he would be in trouble for making a racist comment - how times change !!

[@angiemetcalfe7210]

It was nothing to do with that. It was because he fought for the Zimbabwean army in the jungle before he played football

[@richbiles230872]

Racist? Troll.

[@bobuk161]

Racist me arse!!!

[@WarpLover]

Ian Rush was an amazing force in the old 1st division but on watching that interview with Wilson, I would say there's nothing more than corned beef between his ears. Rush's ears, not Wilson's.

[@Mute_Nostril_Agony]

Viewers in England can press the Red Button for subtitles whenever Andy Gray speaks

[@manjulajayakody4741]

Oh I miss that old Grandstand theme. As a Liverpool game that was a great game...Everton were a bit unlucky but hey so were Watford two years before.

Mountfield wasn't fit, says Venebles. But did he tell them he was? And is this why they sold him? Great player either way - for Villa too.

[@JammyGit]

@2.43 I don't know why they're making a big deal of Grobbelaars save, Graeme Sharps header looks to me like it was going over and he didn't need to save it !

[@vordman]

I was in line with the goal and though it was coming down, I agree, it would have hit the bar at best. I'm an Evertonian btw.

[@TheGiantKillers]

It needs to be viewed in the context of the whole game to get how big that save was, even though the header probably wasn't going in. Hansen has just made a last ditch challenge to keep Lineker from being in on goal, Sheedy has just missed a sitter and Liverpool are struggling to get the ball over the half way line. They're reaching complete panic stations in defence and then Grobbelaar makes an inspirational save. It's one of those fine margins where you just feel that if the ball had cracked off the bar instead it would have spurred Everton on when instead the save galvanised a struggling Liverpool side.

[@Prodigy_Fan]

@@TheGiantKillers It was 1-1 when Grobbelaar made that save, Rush had just equalized. Had we regained the lead shortly after with Sharp's header I believe Liverpool, who were garbage until we gifted them a their first goal, wouldn't have got back into the game.

[@TheGiantKillers]

@@Prodigy_Fan Got to agree with that. It seems crazy to think, in light of the result that the first twenty minutes of the second half were some of the most one-sided in a post-war cup final. Everton were 1-0 up and really should have put the game beyond Liverpool's reach. Liverpool were inexplicably dreadful after half time. As you state, they were gifted an equaliser and didn't put a decent bit of cohesive play together until a very good second goal. However, it's the mark of a truly great side when they play so badly for a long period, hang in there and grind out a result.

[@Prodigy_Fan]

@@TheGiantKillers You're spot on mate. I watched the whole game for the first time since the day itself recently and had forgot about just how much we absolutely battered them at the start of the second half and really should've killed the game well before their equalizer. Gary Stevens has took plenty of stick for THAT lazy pass, but Mountfield and Ratcliffe didn't cover themselves in glory either when they got that hugely against the run of play leveler.
