I remember those tapes well! I had a couple, but never Goals Galore, which I regret. I was my school team's goalkeeper at the time, so I was probably the only person in the country to actually buy Saves Galore.

Well thank goodness for that - I'm not quite as odd as I thought! I'm not sure who my favourite keeper was at the time, but it certainly wasn't Lukic. There were quite a few "eccentrics" in that era (Grobbelaar, Beasant, Leighton, Dibble...)

Where did you get the vid from btw? I've got the Race For The Championship which is obviously a 1hr version of this, but there are some goals on here not shown on that. And it's good to remind ourselves (at 9:51) that Peter Reid has always been 65, even in 1990 when he was 33.

Gordon Cowans is another one who always looked like he was perpetually in his mid-50s. Nowadays the Premier League is full of Raheem Sterling-like youngsters who look about 12. I can't tell you how old it makes me feel! As for the vid, I found it on an old tape. It was shown after the Littlewoods Cup Final, which I recorded and subsequently wiped, but this little nugget somehow survived all these years. I remember this as a great season, too - I bet your Race for the Championship is great!

Still, they won the thing the next year...

The end of the Liverpool dynasty as we knew, they've never truly recovered. People give Souness a lot of stick for this but Dalglish deserves some of the blame, some of his last signings were questionable and some of the players who came into the team from the youth set-up whilst he was manager towards the end of his reign weren't good enough. Manchester United are currently going through a similar phase.

This is the year Arsenal went all strange, isn't it? They won the League a year either side, but this season they seemed to have a massive hangover. Seriously - *Tony Cascarino* of all strikers holding their entire back four at bay, and then getting done on the overlap by *Chris Price*. That's not the George Graham defence we all know and love (or love to hate)!

Alan Hansen said it, anyone saying this was theyre last league title as of 2014 back then wouldve been laughed at. But you could see that the necessary quality of player was not being brought in anymore to replace the ageing team. David Speedie, Jimmy Carter, Paul Stewart would be brought in not long after this. The rest is history.
@VideotapeFTW10 жыл бұрын
It's difficult to see how it all went so wrong so quickly. The team was ageing, but by no means over the hill, and they still managed to play some vintage football the next season and finish second. I suppose some bad buys (Jimmy Carter, Istvan Kozma) along with some underachieving signings (Paul Stewart, who was actually pretty decent at Spurs, Nigel Clough) and selling too many too soon once Souness came in (Peter Beardsley, Ray Houghton)... Could it be that simple?
@eddielasowsky777710 жыл бұрын
VideotapeFTW You can't underestimate Hillsborough. Kenny had been under tremendous emotional pressure. Had he stayed he may well have rebuilt again, but the next season he left causing the club to bring in Souness. Reading some of the players who played for Souness it sounded like he disregarded a lot of the training principles that had served them well up to then, and adopted Italian methods. Basically this was lots and lots of running right at the start of pre season training. This apparently caused alot of muscle strains and caused players to miss the beginning of the season. Souness himself reckoned that there were too many players who were up for contract renewal and because they were 28/29 years old they wanted long deals and he didnt want to be stuck with a core team 3 years down the line who were well past their best. I do feel that like Moyes he was brought in and was given an impossible job, yet just around the corner he had fowler, Macmanaman, Rob Jones, Jamie Redknapp. Look at United, win the league then next season the same squad finish 7th. Now theyre having to spend millions just to get back in the top 4.
@VideotapeFTW10 жыл бұрын
eddie lasowsky Yeah, I've heard about Souness and his training regimes. Didn't he also demolish the famous boot room, also throwing away decades of proven success in the process? I suppose maybe that really is it - too much changed too quickly.

But actually I think Man Utd have been on the slide for a while - certainly their last title-winning side was (player for player) one of the worst title-winning sides in decades, and I've no idea how they won it. I'd even go as far to say that their last Champions League-winning side wasn't a patch on some of their teams from the 90s. Just my opinion, of course.
