Liverpool 3-2 Leicester City 1971-72

Kevin Keegan was making just his fifth appearance for Liverpool when Leicester visited Anfield in August 1971. The Foxes meanwhile were back in the top flight after a two-year absence, and could boast Peter Shilton amongst their number. Liverpool had put three goals past both Nottingham Forest and Wolves in their first two home games, and they would repeat the trick here. Gerald Sinstadt commentates.

This was my first away match as a Leicester City fan and wow what an atmosphere it was unbelievable! But the thing I remember most is that when Leicester scored it was greeted with absolute silence as only a handful of fans had travelled up from the Midlands. Even though we lost it was still an amazing experience.

[@johnholmes8178]

Wow ! A late career cameo from the legendary, and thoroughly underated, Peter Thompson. Just wonder if this was his last game for Liverpool.

[@50young603]

Can't get enough 70s Liverpool football . I grew up watching them terrorize the league. I wore number 7 because of KG

[@MattMJM08]

Back at that time, front seats were so close to the field. People were so humble. Security wasn't an issue. Today, it's totally opposite. Wow, If i could go back in time.

My first game ever on the Kop, and on Emlyn Hughes' birthday.

[@paulgardner9763]

Some lovely play here, but also a rare occasion where Tommy Smith is severely clouted! Keegan so quick and instinctive, Callaghan and Hall so tireless in midfield. Heighway .. Hughes.. some great players there

[@SuperBartles]

Tommy Smith gets knocked over, and has to get up again as fast as he could & pretend it didn't hurt :) 1 or 2 very big players for Birmingham there. Keegan, though a great, great player, lost some of his zip even by 1980 - it's amazing to see what he was like in the early 70s. I wish we had more footage

[@christopherdenniston9013]

As a Red, i know Leicester were always tough opponents in the 70's

[@psyskeptic9979]

Clemence in one goal, and Shilton in the other, right at the start of their careers. And, they let in 5 goals between them!

[@MrJeepsters]

Une boulette chacun. Pourquoi Banks et Shilton ont T-ils choisi Leicester au lieu de grosses équipes comme MU ou Arsenal ?

[@rosst8919]

@@MrJeepsters Both came through the academy as youth players at Leicester. Shilton is from Leicester

Clemence vs Shilton

[@northlincsfox243]

I wish City had kept John Farrington for longer. He formed a great partnership with Len Glover being on the left wing.

Ironic that Leicester have won more premier league titles than Liverpool

[@frankmccormick1175]

Yeah, football only started when division one changed in to the premiership, nothing before that counts 🙄🙄🙄

[@Naren8797]

Old First Division titles were much more invaluable...we had to play more GAMES to become champions...anywayz..its just a change in name... the old first division was indeed the 'premier' league in england during those days

[@davidreed1995]

Yes I knew that bot leicester never won champions 6 times or fa cup 8 times you twit
