Liverpool v Tottenham Hotspur 15/05/1982

Match of the Day highlights of Liverpool against Tottenham Hotspur at Anfield in May 1982, with the Reds needing a win to clinch the league title. The video includes some extra post-match footage from Anfield that wasn't shown on the original broadcast.
Thanks to Simon Tyce and Lee Gillam for the footage in this video.

The nicest thing about this upload is the interview with Paisley and Robson , God rest them , I know it is a different era from many years ago but I can think of some Premier League era managers who could learn a few lessons from these 2 gentlemen about sportsmanship and modesty and good grace

check out the interview between Joe Fagan and Kendall after the May 1985 derby on YT. Different world to today.

I’m Sure Glen Hoddle used my Afro ( right side of the goal 🥅) as a spotter 💯 for that goal cause he had a shit earlier that missed n the goal he scored he knew exactly where to hit it

This game was played on my ninth birthday

[@randyborstol2491]

had a weird dream one time that Bobby took over after Kenny left in 1991. He still probably would not get the best out of Barnes but i would have liked him as a manager. Treated shabbily by the media.

[@Mark-jagger]

I was stood on the Kop that day. Brilliant atmosphere, the first time I’d seen Liverpool win the league in person. Thanks, as always, for the upload, Dave

[@johnbuggy9121]

It's probably nostalgia, but football back then seemed "purer" and far more raw. Love it, thanks for the upload. Hoddle's goal...wow!

[@johncronin1082]

The way Kenny took that goal such a cool head on a pressure situation..genius YNWA

[@orwellboy1958]

How different the celebrations are today. Thanks Dave for posting.

[@randyborstol2491]

End of an era - the Anny Road (united will never be defeated) was seated after this. The media said that no one would dare touch the institution that is the Kop. Anfield tours as late as 1989 use boast to tourists that Anfield had no executive boxes as that would take space away from the real fans. The 50 year old pitch was ripped up in 1982. The groundman retired. And Peter Robinson saved 300 quid for the club by cancelling the hotel for the Middelsboro game which was next. The midweek Arsenal game mentioned here was a very vital game yet as far as I know - it was never shown on tv. Football had its place back then and was more peaceful. Not the endless talking heads we get now

Greatest team ever,oozing with class and brilliance.Amen.

"Get off the Fuckin Pitch".. God bless the Kop

use be half a dozen chants to that tune - my favourite. I learnt the Olde English original lyrics. it's my party piece for laughs. 'we're only warming up' 'Oh why are we so good' 'Your arse is on your face (to Clough)' It's nice to know you're here' 'Die you bastard die (to an injured opposing player)' 'There's only one way out' (to away fans)

Liverpool can win 20 premier league title this year I believe that we gonna win the legue 🔴🏆

[@michaeldignan4607]

Why was Clemence transferred? Was Grobellaar really better than him?

[@DaveWallerLFC]

Clemence decided to leave - it wasn't Liverpool's decision. It meant Grobbelaar had to play before he was really ready.

[@randyborstol2491]

@@DaveWallerLFC always wonder why Ogrizovic was never rated. Seemed solid. Getty has a pic of John Smith at a reception for the 1980 Central League Champions and Oggy is in it - along with Sheedy, Lee, Harper, Gayle, Money, Irwin - Rush and Whelan around somewhere. Seems surreal now that Bob and Joe liked the circus act of Bruce.

[@DaveWallerLFC]

Any of Ogrizovic, Bolder or Hooper would probably have done a solid job. I agree that Brucie's antics seem out of keeping with the low-key way the club was managed, but I assume he kept his place because he was a better keeper than the others.

[@eamonstafford2056]

Ray (and I say this out of the greatest of respect for the man) had to leave as he had got the babysitter (of a certain Liverpool comedian) pregnant. It is alleged he was chased out of Liverpool by some locally known identities. HIs wife told him he should leave as well. Pretty unfortunate really. Bruce was a really good keeper. Yes he had a howler in his early game against Manchester City with City winning 3-1 but he was very good for LFC. Don't think he was as good as Ray Clemence. Probably 3rd best behind Alisson and Ray. RIP Ray.

That would piss you off after a couple of minutes all kinds of kids hanging round your neck and banging into you and jumping up trying to grab the cup 😂😂😂 , aw lad Phil Tompson looked like he wanted to chin a few 😂😂, it was normal back then though wasn't it?
