Liverpool v Man Utd 1977 Charity Shield (Extended Highlights)

[@fentron9584]

I was at this match. 7 years old and my first ever game. We were down from Manchester visiting relatives in North London and my dad got us tickets. I can remember very little other than it was nil nil, we sat on red (I think) painted wooden benches and my dad turning to the bloke sitting next to him at the end of match saying "that young lad from Celtic looks a bit useful!". I had no idea there was footage of this game anywhere. So happy to have found it. Cheers!

I was 17 and also at this match. We had moved to Canada when I was six and were back in England for July and August that summer. I remember before the match there was a 6-a-side final of a youth team (?) competition. They created a mini-pitch in the middle of the field using wide white tape or cloth. Great memories of that afternoon. First time seeing my team, United, in person; but could still respect how good the Liverpool teams of that era were. If only the United of today had half the talent and excitement that their mid to late seventies teams did.

King Kenny's debut! At last footage! Thanks so much!

[@coolmeenmac761]

As a Man U fan this marked the end of one of United's most golden eras. Tommy Doc was in charge of a young, exciting and attacking team. We had just won the FA Cup and we believed the Title was within reach. All this ended with the arrival of Sexton. Dreams shattered.

[@AnselmG1970]

Kenny Dalglish's debut! Been looking for this game for years, many thanks

[@ClassicManUtdVideos]

No problem!

[@SuperBartles]

Had he not played home and away against Hamburg already? Or was that later?

[@barriesansom2070]

Wow..like so many liverpool fans have wanted to see Kenny's debut..thankyou so much!

[@erniescullion8452]

Liverpool and Manchester United Fans should watch this and wise up to have right rival spirit.

[@oscoe]

Well said.

[@vincentstevens5048]

Ray Kennedy was immense in this match. United could have won. They had a pretty decent team, surprisingly didn't win more trophies in those years. Liverpool's 77-78 team looked quite different later on in the season with the addition of Hansen and Souness. Cally, Tosh, Tommy Smith and Joey Jones were coming to the end of their LFC careers..

[@andymacfaul2852]

How marvellous it is finally to see footage of Kenny Dalglish’s debut for Liverpool. If I’m not mistaken the United fans are singing “what a waste of money” at him after about 2 minutes 35 seconds. Not sure that comment aged well! But seriously, thank you so much for posting this.

Now we just sing "one racist bastard" about the mental old dinosaur

[@johnruby147]

Not a Liverpool or United fan but was at the game that day to see Kenny Dalglish . This was the same day that the National Front went on the rampage in Lewisham SE London , my old Mum was working in Marks and Spencers that day

[@SuperBartles]

I like the friendly, sporting attitude; which marks a change from the Leeds/Chelsea behaviour. Look at Hughes & Buchan each wanting the other to go up the stairs first - a smiling Clemence chatting with the Utd players. Of course when Liverpool played Leeds in the Charity shield a few years earlier, "everybody was Kung Fu fighting" - and I don't think it was Liverpool's fault. Perhaps if Leeds hadn't spent the whole match trying to beat Keegan up? I don't think Kevin bore too many grudges (he was quite nice to Giles later) but it certainly makes for a more attractive spectacle, to my mind.

[@jamesrowe3606]

I was there that day, in the Liverpool end although I was and still am a Celtic supporter. I happened to be in London on a break and wanted to see Kenny's debut with his new club. After about half an hour the "Daaalgliiish" chants started and I never heard Kevin Keegan's name around me again. A new king was born that day for the Liverpool fans.

[@jamesrowe3606]

@capri2673 I didn't hear that in amongst the koppites, but it sounds about right. I knew he was the business of course. He would have stood out in any team in the world.

[@davesmatedave]

Haha about three minutes in, you can hear the Liverpool fans singing "who's up Mary Brown, who's up Mary Brown, Tommy Tommy Docherty." Been waiting a long time to see Kenny's debut again. I remember how excited I was to see him in a Liverpool kit for the first time. Thanks for sharing this quite rare footage.

[@glenvesey]

He shot he come all over Mary's bum Tommy d ...lol

[@beatlebrian4404]

Good to see Martin Buchan pushing Emlyn Hughes, up to collect the trophy first! Great sportsmanship.

[@ijs6427]

My first Wembley game...i was 14...i remember the mancs singin... we won the cup we won the cup...and Liverpool replied we won two we won two ....!!! 😊the summer Liverpoo lads started dressing unlike anyine else....the originals....!!!

[@anthonymooney8636]

United always seem to save the best performances for Liverpool In this era

[@jameshodgkins559]

The Wembley pitch with all dark patches of grass where the jocks ripped it up a couple of months before

[@PamelaSmullen-du7mx]

Just good football by honest footballers, no diving no acting no VAR, and the game just flows nicely.

[@jerrylee7287]

Great match in one of the best eras for football. But after 6 lots of ads in just over 15 mins, I couldn't watch anymore, shame.

[@waz3128]

''KEN Dalglish'' just doesn't have the same ring to it

[@Duncan1974]

John Motson referencing how "penalty shoots-outs aren't a very satisfactory way of settling these sort of matches, so it's shared now".....Does seem a bit bizarre that the shield was shared in back then...we have shoot-outs for nearly everything these days!

[@professorbernardkemp7448]

Dalgleigh was a bit of an astute signing, to understate the matter, somewhat.

[@concierge1892]

The Kings debut, I bet most of the 5k views, are from Liverpool fans like myself.

[@peezebeuponyou3774]

Dave Sexton sucked all the flair and joy out of that side.

[@redflag8970]

Wow never seen this

[@fotisboys]

Seriously how good was this Liverpool side great flicks unbelievable movement great understanding between the Liverpool midfielders and Strikers and Dalglish just wow what a game against top opposition he's was on anther level....

[@vincentstevens5048]

Midfield four were very strong.

[@GriefTourist]

This was the golden age of English league football surely. Proof is the European domination.

[@KryptonitetoallBS]

Combined with the demise of top European clubs like Bayern, Ajax, Madrid etc. The fact that LFC won 3, Forest won 2 and Villa won 1 EC's in 7 years proves that!

[@rodgerwaters8292]

Was there, my Red debut as well.

[@ZeldaFitz]

To think it took until the early 90s for the rest of the top flight to realise that passing the ball like Liverpool had been doing for all of them years was the way forward.

[@Meshari740]

Manchester United 7-2 newcastle united 1976 can you get us that match?

[@iainclark5964]

£440,000 record transfer fee! The past is a foreign country!

[@peezebeuponyou3774]

And gate receipts of £180K from a crowd of 80k...

[@seanspeed214]

All British and Irish players not a single cheating foreigner in sight.

[@KryptonitetoallBS]

@@seanspeed214 Wasn't that long after this before Liverpool fielded a team without a single Englishman.

[@coolmeenmac761]

What about that referee ? Was he a fan in disguise ? Was the real ref left tied up in the dressing rooms? Check out his behaviour at 4.48 and 11.01. Extremely unprofessional. Un-accept-able.

[@KryptonitetoallBS]

What did he do? I watched it at 4.48 and 11.01 and only see 2 shots on goal. One by LFC and 1 by United.
