Liverpool v Aston Villa 07/05/1983

Highlights from Match of the Day of Liverpool's match against Aston Villa at Anfield in May 1983; Bob Paisley's last home game as Liverpool manager.
This is the last of the 1982/83 highlights videos I have. All the uploads, and a few games I don't have that are elsewhere on youtube, are in this playlist:
• Liverpool v Tottenham ...
If anyone has any footage from this season not included here, please let me know.
Thanks for watching.
Any adverts on this video were placed there by the copyright owners of the footage (EFL in this case). I don't put adverts on any of my videos.

Best manager of all time. Not even close. 9 seasons of pure magic.

[@jamsheadaziz3999]

Should have been knighted long ago. In terms of winning trophies per years in the job he was the greatest. Forget sourpuss ferguson, he had 27 years at utd. Only managed to win champions league twice. Sir Bob in 9 years at LFC won it 3 times. Only British manager to do so. RIP.

[@vinnysamways63]

No need to Fergie-bash, I can't stand Man. United but both were great managers.

[@jamsheadaziz3999]

@@vinnysamways63 I'm not fergie bashing ,just stating facts, it took ferguson 13 years to win his first European cup or champions league. Then he had to wait another 9 years before winning it again. Besides he as man utd manager had no respect for some of his fellow managers like wenger, keegan, Benetiz. The press called it mind games and the contempt he shown for certain referees was deplorable. The man had no class.

Sir Bob.......my favourite LFC manager.

With these old MOTD video's you get to see again just how good Kenny Dalglish was , his touch and turn of pace were electric

Great uploads mate really enjoy that era of football (spurs fan)

[@Lioness_UTV]

Great match. As a Villa we were so proud of this team. Looking forward to our journey back to the top.

[@welshlad6427]

It was my 15th Birthday and I was in the Kop that day and as always a very special moment watching Bob parade the trophy 🏆 Seems like yesterday.

[@RobCLynch]

I was also 15 in 1983 and stood on the Kop with my dad that day. It seemed the goal would never come, but I remember Craig Johnston ending up in the net. David Hodgson didn't really do it for me and no doubt Ian Rush would have made a difference had he played.

[@CARLIN4737]

Great villa side and loved their strip aswell.

Cool interview there of Liverpool legend, Bob Paisley.. Wonder what his thoughts would have been of Jurgen Klopp?.. :)

[@dannyhughes6306]

As I child I went to St Marys school in Garston, Liverpool. Our teacher at the time was a certain Mrs Paisley. I remember on one occasion during assembly (I think it was 77' or 79') when in walked Sir Bob, grey suit and all, carrying the European Cup. Special memories.

[@edmundpower1250]

Wow. Did that really happen?

[@dannyhughes6306]

@@edmundpower1250 Yes of course it did. Like I said amazing memories

[@edmundpower1250]

[@dannyhughes6306]

@@edmundpower1250 sorry yes 78 definitely could have been then as we didn't win it in 79 I've got pictures of us holding the European Cup alongside Sir Bob at the time my best mate was an Everton fan who's stepdad played for Everton (Tommy Wright) when I was in his he'd put on the 66 FA Cup final which they won 3-2 and he loved to show us his England caps like I said it was all very special memories

[@edmundpower1250]

@@dannyhughes6306 That's amazing. That was a different world then. You're blessed to have had those experiences sir Bob was the only other Liverpool manager to have had an April run in like Jurgen is having now

[@alanprior7650]

I was watching a 2008 Match of the Day and the caption came up when Alan Hansen was speaking (Hansen) won 8 League Titles with Liverpool...not bad,eh?

[@edmundpower1250]

AND 3 champions Leagues. Mind you Phil Neal won 4!

[@denis9450]

Sir Bob was the best by a mile.

[@joebryant5722]

That's an interesting tip. Listen for the penalty kick, observe the keeper.

[@edmundpower1250]

Even though we won the league this match was at the end of a depressing run of results where were lost 4 and drew 2 of our last 6 scoring only twice.

[@shanemcnamara5224]

Spink came off hes line for both penalty saves!!

[@MicksPlace64]

I'm a Blackpool fan and went to that game with a mate straight after an all night party. Stood in the middle of the kop with a stinking hangover, really not wanting to be there..

[@vinnysamways63]

Bob Paisley - the reluctant manager. Jurgen Klopp - the limelight stealer.

[@DaveWallerLFC]

Klopp has created an amazing team and a fantastic bond between the team and the fans. What's your problem with him? Was Shankly a limelight stealer too in your view?

[@vinnysamways63]

@@DaveWallerLFC I'm sorry Dave but I'm not a fan. I just don't think he is sincere and (In my opinion) puts himself and his ego before the team. To his credit, he's a better manger than that ponce Guadiola.

[@DaveWallerLFC]

You're entitled to your opinion, but he seems sincere to me.

[@garyrandall8217]

Great stuff, DW. Is the Watford v Liverpool available (14/5/83)? We played in red shirt, black shorts and yellow stockings....

[@DaveWallerLFC]

Thanks. There are no highlights from that Watford game, as far as I know (it wasn't on Match of the Day or anything). Having said that, Watford were well ahead of the game in recording their own games for club videos, so it's possible there is some footage. There are Watford season review videos this far back, so I'll try to find out if they included this game. I've got some of the later ones and they generally only include Watford goals, so don't get your hopes up.

[@garyrandall8217]

@@DaveWallerLFC It was on ITV The Big Match..they may show it one day on The Big March Revisited...

[@DaveWallerLFC]

Are you sure? I've got what I think is a near-definitive list of the Liverpool goals for which footage exists, and the goal from that game isn't there. The WIkipedia listing for the Big Match that week has Derby v Fulham, Leicester v Burnley, Bury v Wimbledon, Dundee v Dundee United. I hope you're right, but I would be surprised.

[@DaveWallerLFC]

I've seen the Watford 82/83 season review now, and it doesn't include any footage of the Liverpool game unfortunately.

[@kevinarmstrong6379]

Do you have the Liverpool Villa game 3-0 from 08 MAY 1979, Liverpool clinch the title

[@DaveWallerLFC]

There's a brief clip with the goals at the very end of this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bYiQl6F9qsyHrsk If any more was shown originally, I've never seen it. I guess fewer people had VCRs that far back, so less was recorded.

Hi Danny. Thanks for your comment. I'm generally a bit less interested in footage after the early 90s, so I think I'll pass, but thanks for the offer.
