I’m here for Ray Kennedy. Probably his most important goal for the club. R.I.P. Ray and thank you…

[@mcharrisment4765]

Kennedy , Souness , Case and McDermott were formidable and the greatest quartet their ever was

[@andrewphippsphillips1455]

Rest In Peace Ray..... This was one of my favourite ever moments of his glittering career at LFC. It had been such a misfiring season for them, Dalglish and Doc Johnson being injured, that Bob Paisley had to dig deep into the squad. But a League Cup & then Old Big Ears won back from Old Big 'Ead was more than satisfying..... Ray was a proper gentle guy, not a plodder or clobbering type. And spending half his life fighting Parkinsons on top, make him a genuine hero in my estimations

[@graemechristopher4008]

Well said, Kennedy was a brilliant footballer, elegant class, never seemed to have a bad game. It’s sad how fleeting time really is.

[@stevepeachey6469]

@@graemechristopher4008 Very fleeting. No one is here for that long.

[@yemred5854]

Ray Kennedy was a wonderful elegant footballer. One of my favourite ever Liverpool player . An unsung hero of a great Liverpool team. He was originally a centre forward at Arsenal when Liverpool signed him . Bob Paisley a genius manager thought he would be better more suited as an attacking midfielder. What a move . He was brilliant

[@carlomassa9641]

football as it should be......old times way,,,,without VAR//////// no tatoo.......without losing time, without fake injury/pain/wound .........and above all with very good players...I miss it enormously

[@rohithkollu]

Ray Kennedy .. one of the greatest Liverpool midfielders and most underrated... Scored in important European matches.... 1976 final Vs brugge and most importantly this match against Bayern when dalglish and souness went off injured

[@lordchive8944]

Technically excellent as well

[@RobCLynch]

And to think that he started out as a striker at Arsenal! A Bob Paisley masterstroke to put him in midfield.

[@markbailey1970]

And we (Port Vale) turned him down when he was a youth player.

[@mcharrisment4765]

Paisley once said that of all the players that he was in charge of over his nine years that 'more clubs asked about Ray Kennedy than any other Lvpl player'.

[@brianrichards3119]

Totally agree. He was a prolific midfield goalscorer who was understated and for some reason never got the same attention or recognition that his colleagues often got.

[@paulndor848]

The challenge on Gayle was a clear penalty. Great finish from Kennedy.

[@thomasholer1649]

Absolutely correct! One of the most clear penalty-scenes, i've ever seen. And i'm a Bayern-Supporter!

[@cuttlefisch]

I agree. Never seen a more obvious penalty.

[@exorcist1998]

One of my strongest memories as a kid. Barry Davies commentary for our goal was superb. I remember Bob Paisley and the whole bench standing up at 5:23. Great memories.

[@RobCLynch]

I went to the 0-0 Anfield first leg of this tie and thought we'd blown it, but this Liverpool team was a total 'winning machine'. I watched the second-leg highlights on a grainy black and white portable tv, whilst on a caravan holiday in Wales. Just looking at the famous names in that Bayern team, this has to go down as one of Liverpool's most glorious European nights!

[@otimoluk]

Remember listening to this live on Radio 2. Liverpool fortunate to have a keeper of that quality. Clemence carries it off like it's a normal day at the office and the scary thing is, it was.

[@pablodebiddlybo3771]

The football brains in Kennedy and terry mac alongside the absolute lion in souness .. what a side it was. God knows how Howie Gayle never got a pen there though.

[@twold4this]

Howard Gayle played! Richard Money and Colin Irwin played! Money played 14 times for LFC. He won more European cups than...City, Arsenal, Spurs, Everton.. Oh and PSG added together. So has Howard Gayle who played 4 (sic) times for LFC. Irwin played 29 times for LFC he has more European Cup winners medals than all the above + Chelsea. I saw the first leg of this tie - 0 - 0 at Anfield. I was confident cos I knew Bayern could not play as defensively in the 2nd leg.

[@bareknuckles2u]

Man, that Liverpool team looked big and strong!

[@kamaljitbraich781]

Second leg, semi final of the European cup, 1981 I was listening to this on the radio at the time

[@edwardmorris728]

The challenge on howie Gayle has gone down in refereeing folklore. How to ignore a massive barn door penalty. In the hope Bayern will win.

[@elshadjafar2437]

Good night. Thank you so much for the exellent video. Enjoyed and liked of course. Country Azerbaijan

[@highbury1972]

What a game and I remember this well as a Kid. Clear cut Penalty for Howard Gayle, also a person I have absolute respect for off the pitch. Ray Kennedy was some player and largely forgotten about in English football. Arsenal and LFC fans have huge respect for him. It’s very sad he battled Parkinson’s for 35 years plus and RIP Ray Kennedy ✝️.

[@womba68]

possibly the most blatant penalty ever.

[@light106year6]

womba68 that was John wark in the 1985 European cup final that wasn’t given , by the way might I add that it was a mans game back then

[@nikreece6295]

The referee in this game clearly had an issue with Liverpool

[@probrokers8159]

Red card nowadays

[@tomellis4324]

@@light106year6 i think it was Ronnie Whelan not Wark in the 1985 European Cup Final. It was GBH. A stonewaller without a doubt. I know because of the circumstances no one talks much about the game but if LFC had got it back to 1-1 and penalties it was 5 final appearances and 5 wins imo. I do remember Platini scoring Juventus's penalty which was 10 yards outside the box and he was high fiving everyone. Lost all respect for him. It looked as if UEFA wanted all English teams out fsr. UEFA were always good to Platini.

Bayern Munich & Liverpool forever the Best

[@Telcontar1962]

Bayern Munich are a joke. Not much different than Real Madrid or Barcelona. A state backed side that even with huge financial advantages more often than not rely on corruption within officialdom to secure international success. There's only one league in the world that's worth calling the best and that's the English league and even then then hasn't much longer before it to goes the same way as the others. Sport across the spectrum is regressing at an alarming rate in the face of the incessant drive to turn it into corporate run entertainment business.

[@peterhammer6915]

[@Telcontar1962]

@@peterhammer6915 Chelsea border on the unacceptable given where Roman's money came from, but Man City are a state backed side. That's a no-no. They definitely are not in it for the sporting glory of Man City. The side they back is virtually irrelevant, it's what it can.do politically for their nation that at the heart if everything they do. That isnt just bad, it catastrophically destructive. Football is in a far worse state today than it has ever been and that includes the dark days of terrace violence. Everything the working classes once had as their own is slowly being corporatised, sanitised, lobotomised and trivialised for global consumption and it shows in every headline it generates.

The 'penalty' was an absolute stone-waller for sure. Though I guess back in those days, away from home in Europe you couldn't really expect too many favours from referees as many were bribed (like Anderlecht v Forest) or 'homers'! Also there weren't so many TV replays to expose such cheating

Other fun fact to European Cup History between Bayern and British Clubs: from season 80/81 till 84/85, Bayern were kicked out or beaten in different competitions and rounds by british teams in 5 consecutive years, and all these teams either won the final against Bayern (Aston Villa), or later the respective competition. 80/81 Liverpool FC (CL-Semifinal) 81/82 Aston Villa (CL-Final) 82/83 FC Aberdeen (Cup Winners-Cup) 83/84 Tottenham Hotspurs (UEFA-Cup) 84/85 Everton FC (Cup Winners-Cup)
