Bristol City v Liverpool Div 1 1979/80

[@davidlong1459]

That fantastic Kennedy goal has replayed many times in my mind as I saw it from the Enclosure as a young teenager. City did well to live with what was a purring, gliding Liverpool side - one of their best ever - which the unmatched David Coleman said at the start “…has that usual solid dependable look about it…” An understatement ! A great time as a youngster to go to Ashton Gate.

Kennedy could certainly strike a ball, I remember watching him play for Arsenal as a youngster, good with his head too

[@benwherlock9869]

Damn Liverpool were great back then. A mix of the 70s and 80s Liverpool side.

Fantastic! Was there as a 10 year old with my Dad. Stood on a milk crate in the enclosure 😅

The only trouble with these old first division games involving City is that they usually lost when on TV, but I think most fans just like to see the games and aren't bothered about the result after all this time. Must admit I can't remember going to this one, can't think why

​@@bristolview56I was at this one and can remember it. Stood in the East End behind the goal can still vividly remember Ray Kennedy's goal. I think it won MOTD goal of the month. Seeing it now for the first time in years I can appreciate why.

I was in the East End - right behind the goal.

David Coleman. A man who never suffered fools gladly but a great journalist. I wish he was around for The 2023 F.I.F.A Women"s World Cup where the U.K. T.V. coverage has been the bland leading the bland.

[@bristolview56]

This is the only City match where I have him commentating, can't remember if he did any others?

@@bristolview56 I belive you are correct.

The B.B.C. had the best coverage.
