Arsenal 3 v Man Utd 1 | 1977/78 | Football League Classic Matches

[@russellgoodall6206]

Chippy Brady, the legend in the No.7 shirt! He had a left foot so accurate he could kick a speck of dust off of a baby’s eye ! My boyhood favourite and still is and I’m 58 now! Absolute LEGEND 👍⚽️

I like that Arsenal kit of the 70`s as a Everton fan

[@Fonzymucha]

Brady was majestic.

[@kwameaboagye7959]

Liam Brady what a skillful midfield genuis he was and our fans adored him so much. It's a shame he didn't win more honors for us. Liam Brady top class midfield legend for Arsenal 73-81

Love watching these old highlights of games with SuperMac playing, idolized him as a kid

[@SMSJSC]

Thanks for sharing this! I enjoy watching stuff like this from the 1970s.

[@goonerdave1968]

Even the policemen clapped the gunners first goal,if he was spotted doing that today he would more than likely be sacked,great era the 70s/80s for football and what striker supermac was an chippy brady a world class midfielder.

Brady , the artist 💜

[@alessiodelcastillo1613]

How'd this team never win the league or the Champions League? I mean Brady was in the top 10 best players in the world and we reached 3 consecutive FA Cup Finals. The Arsenal luck of unfinished potential. Imagine if this team remained together for 5 more years

[@Chaos_of_2020]

Bro in those years fa cup was considered as a bigger success than league trophy.. You just imagine in 1979 we won the fa cup and finished outside of top4 in league table still Brady won the pfa players player of the year trophy. Liverpool won the league by their superstars power mainly Kenny Dalglish but Brady won the trophy ahead of Dalglish

[@redflag8970]

League was always the bigger prize but cup had glamour. If you look who was winning the titles an the sides they had you can see why these two didn’t.

That was the suicide offside trap fad a lot of teams adopted after seeing the Dutch use it in the World Cup. It didn't last long though, when everyone realized it didn't work and never did.

[@seanscanlon9067]

@@martinbuchan9432 I find that very hard to believe. Not that they did not have a following, just that the vast majority would actually be Manchester-based. I am from south-east London and was born in the 60s grew up in the 70s and 80s and nobody I knew at either primary or secondary school was a Man United fan. A fair few glory seeking Liverpool fans because that was their successful era, but I never saw a single United shirt being worn back then and bar Liverpool, it was all London-based clubs whenever we had PE at school or played football out of school.
