Liverpool 4-1 Birmingham City 1976-77

Liverpool led the way at the top of the First Division as Birmingham travelled to Anfield in February 1977. But the Reds were only one point ahead of second-placed Ipswich, having also played three games more. So, a win here would be a welcome boost. Birmingham had Trevor Francis and Howard Kendall in their side and had beaten Liverpool at St Andrew's earlier in the season. Gerald Sinstadt commentates.

What a player Steve Heighwqy was...tremendous and brave

[@SheptonDavies]

Seeing these 70's videos reminds you what a marvelous player Steve Heighway was. Also Ian Callaghan, despite his years, put in non stop performances and barely put a foot wrong.

[@davidlawlor4317]

Heighway Toshak and Keegan were amazing.

David Lawlor The best ever in a Liverpool jersey

[@tomduggan51]

Thanks for these highlights Adrian-the great Liverpool side of the 70s at their best!

[@gavinbegg6895]

watching these old Liverpool uploads from 70s' and 80's you can see the 'Liverpool way" IE the way Herr Klopp wants his sides to play closing down immediately with quick passing , when you partner that with top players you will go close to titles etc.. I'm encouraged to think Klopp will get it right in the net year o 2 and the title will go back to Anfield

[@celticwarrior1365]

It's two years on since your prediction and as of today 7/10/18 you ain't far wrong! If Liverpool beat Man City this afternoon I would say that you are pretty much spot on mate!

[@celticwarrior1365]

Ps I have never done the lottery but if Liverpool win the title, could you choose the numbers for me? Haha!

[@mainaccount7585]

This comment aged well lol

[@Claggyt]

Great upload - thanks. I do believe that this game was the first Liverpool match I ever saw (on TV of course). It's been a bumpy ride these past 40 years although the first 13 went quite well..........

[@billymorton4506]

great upload Adrian, Birmingham always had a pretty physical approach to the game and even though he wasn't in these highlights much, Francis could put himself about a bit

[@aleebee4989]

Thanks for the upload.

[@gomey70]

Ooof what a hit by Heighway. Great game played at a great tempo.

[@davidmiller7771]

[@Zyram-dw2cr]

Excellent top ✅😍😍😍

[@bonzabonza2758]

Nice of the ref to give them a two goal start.

[@celticwarrior1365]

Page, Jones, Toshack were, like myself, great Welshmen! Not that Iam biased mind you!

[@bennewton7063]

When football was real The Crowds the shitty pitches the proper kits and the shitty toilets Liverpool a great team too

[@kevinkeegan3587]

Kenny Burns........teeth like a crossword puzzle.

[@RobCLynch]

And Kenny Burns? Didn't he end up at Forest - with Trevor Francis?

[@mschauhan3855]

yes

[@davygraham]

as a centre half

[@vordman]

He had a fantastic career at Forest. Player Of The Year 1978 when Forest won the league.

[@trebleking1641]

One of the hardest players ever...

[@smithswoodrookie]

Where is the reverse fixture from St. Andrews ? Lol

[@michaelgrace1298]

It was a dive? Dives weren't invented till the 90s

[@ridvancaglar7152]

[@antoniodaguiar392]

Toshack dived.

[@Ashley19721]

No gloves

[@nickharrison2906]

What a great side that was: Clemence, Neal, Jones, Thomson, Kennedy, Hughes, Keegan, Case, Heighway, Toshack, Callaghan.

The referee was so biased to Liverpool, it's actually quite funny.

Some terrible refereeing decisions..

[@tomthomas9708]

The referee might as well have been wearing a red shirt.
