You almost forget how good Southall was. Three saves in the space of about 5 seconds from Rush at one point in the second half, then just picks his cap up and gets on with it. Ten years later, he was still doing the business for us in the FA Cup Final win. What a legend.

We were so much better than Liverpool that season, yet the bleeders won the double. As others have said it was down to big Neville getting injured. Hated the Wembley final, no contrition or humility from the Reds fans even though they knew we had been the better over the season. One even ruffled my hair as we left the stadium, I was very close to twatting him in the gob!

[@Prodigy_Fan]

I've always said the factors on us missing out on the double that season was Liverpool winning 11 out of 12 after we beat them at Anfield, as you say Big Nev getting injured for the run-in and the hugely influential Peter Reid only playing 15 league games all season due to injury. That criminal defeat at Oxford so late in the season also has a lot to answer for.

Everton were the current champions and these were the two best teams in the land imo.

I was on the Kop that day with my dad and our season tickets cost £67 each lol.

Great days indeed. Proper football. Your season ticket at £67 would equate to £205 in today's money (2020, Bank of England inflation calculator). The time before Sky and mass commercialism of the beautiful game. I too was on the Kop.

@@doktoruzo Thank you for working out that conversion. During the eighties, going to the match cost the same as going to the cinema.

[@fisherpeter695]

What an advert for the great rivalry between the two best teams in the mid 1980s. Liverpool went on an amazing run after this defeat to pip Everton for the league title. At Wembley Howard Kendall made a rare mistake by recalling Derek Mountfield and Paul Bracewell in the final, after they had missed many games through injury. Kevin Richardson and Alan Harper who rarely had bad games would have given the blues a better balanced team. I recall the game and Everton were a bit over run in second half after being comfortable until the Gary Stevens misplaced pass to Molby that changed the game. Selling both Lineker and Richardson were major blunders that started the decline in the late 1980s.

[@Henry99-07]

I honestly believe that Big Nev was a better goalkeeper than Bruce
